The episode on July 13th labeled the domestic season gets underway was in fact nothing more than a show on Aberdeen. 22 of 23 minutes spent on Aberdeen. I’ll never get that time back. You are BBC SCOTLAND you should cater to all teams and fans. Your host is an amateur. At the very end he lists players that scored hat-tricks except Dylan Vente of Hbs. Just never mentions him. If you’re only going to talk about a single match and 80% of that is about 1 team, your title should reflect that. Not the first time this has happened. You’re supposed to be the big dog, start acting like it.
Get better pundits!

Much too dependent on inarticulate ex-player pundits who don’t have anything to contribute beyond cliches.
Surprisingly amateurish

It boggles my mind how amateurish this show is production-wise considering it’s on a national broadcasting service. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve turned off podcasts because of announcers constantly and annoyingly clearing their throats or coughing without using their mute buttons. Recently one announcer, Michael Stewart, didn’t even have enough sense to turn off his microphone before unwrapping a power bar! I’m also tired of announcers and guests talking over each other, Richard Gordon’s occasional tantrums - I still remember him upbraiding some poor staffer who didn’t turn Tom English’s mike on quickly enough - and Kenny MacIntyre’s overall vacuousness. What a mess!
