l'escardot Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Glasgow's own 'evening' newspaper disappears between the two cheeks of the same arse (once again). If you haven't bought today's 'Evening' Times for the souvenir coverage of a Glasgow team's championship season don't. Between the 8 page Celtic Title Tribute pull-out, nearly 2 pages on Celtic in the news section, 3 pages on Celtic in the sports pages there's under two pages of re hashed reporting you'll already have seen from the week-end on the Jags. That is, the same amount of coverage today that they give to Sevco's boardroom troubles. (not to mention the 8 page Sevco pull-out the Monday after a Queen's Park defeat handed them the Third Division). No surprise there, but when you think about it most Celtic and Sevco fans come from places so far from Glasgow that they can't even buy the Evening Times. The Jags supporting proportion of actual Glasgow based football fans that could buy their dying paper must be fairly high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to get the ET every night, but an absolute waste of money nowadays as its just filled with the usual Sevco/Celtic pish. You summed it up saying that spreads were given to Glasgows ugly sectarian twins when they won their leagues yet when the other team in Glasgow...you know, the one that hates anything to do with sectarianism, the one that encourages young people to the game for no charge whatsoever, the club that lives within their means,wins their league we get sod all from Glasgows evening newspaper..

davemains Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Jags pull-out is to be in next Saturdays paper. They need to plan these things in advance, in order to get the copy written and the ads sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Herald is almost as bad. They'll have something but you have to dig to find it. (Mind you that may be because I only read it online and their site's badly designed.) The Scotsman, much as I could criticise it in other ways does give very good coverage of the other teams, including lower league teams. Can always depend on something, however brief, on our games and of other lower league teams - and not just sevco..

One t in Scotland Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Relax - I've seen the pullout. Following the usual template it consists of 5 pages of small ads, 2 pages of quotes pinched from Twitter and a piece from DJ congratulating Alan Archie and the boys.

brick_top Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 "Thistle are in the highest tier of Scottish football, so I don't know why they wouldn't want to stay?" That's it in a nutshell for me, Conrad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISGRACE!! Never mind the only one that was in any kind of a competitive league this season. There was only one division that didn't have the winner's name already etched on the trophy before the season started - ours. You'd think that would bring in a bit more interest.

It's all those Tannacice millions ... Come on it's been the same for years. Long before they started intense reporting of the 3rd division this season for some reason the media always put the OF before real football. For years if there was a choice between two cup games (for instance) and one was OF-cheek versus East Stirling or say Motherwell against Hibs which would be the one that got most coverage? I don't have to give you the answer, do I? Edited April 22, 2013 by Mr Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillresigned Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Said on Sportsound tonight that they would have a review of Thistle winning the league. Surprise, surprise, unless I missed it going to the bathroom, they spent half of the time talking about Celtic's SPL win which might be fair enough, However, they spent the rest of the programme bemoaning Sevco's travails and how their absence affects the SPL, tainted title etc. etc. In all honesty I expect little if anything from the Scottish media, it has been ever thus and unfortunately it will ever be so in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colstar Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) absolutely nae interest shown by either channel which is shocking, who cares less aboot john higgins getting nocked oot at the 1st round of the snooker or which horse raman has lost money on? total joke. more fool them though as the coverage by PTFC/TV was brilliant and slightly made up for not making it. I see even sky sports news made an effort. Edited April 22, 2013 by colstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l'escardot Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 However, they spent the rest of the programme bemoaning Sevco's travails and how their absence affects the SPL, tainted title etc. etc. and I suppose Celtic (or Hibs) would rather win the Cup this season, as it's not tainted at all after being blessed by Sevco's participation in earlier rounds.

Yellow & Redneck Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Really annoyed at STV and BBC for the lack of coverage. Celtic who won the SPL by default gets all the coverage on the sports news, Sevco gets all the coverage on the main news and the rest is taken up with snooker and horse racing. Nothing bloody changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan100 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 To their credit, The Herald had a very funny cartoon in their centre page yesterday featuring Celtic, Thistle, and Sevco raising their respective cups, together with a p*ssed-off panda after getting a knock-back.
