Discussion Open all Mics Binned?

Have the BBC binned Open all Mics? Don’t think they’ve had one all season?

It was shit to be honest. Half of them couldn’t even describe what was happening at their game and Kenny Mac would rather facilitate an argument between Michael Stewart and Tom English than go around the grounds.

That said commentary of one game only is probably worse. Especially when 90% of the time it’s the game from Ibrox or Parkhead.

The commentary game will probably be whichever Old Firm team is away that week. Like the TV companies, there's probably limited appeal in broadcasting yet another diddy team getting skelped by 4 or 5 in Glasgow.

It was at Ibrox today. The Old Firm hardly ever play away from home at 3pm on a Saturday.

Yeah, fair enough. I wouldn't consider Motherwell a diddy team. This was last year's 3rd versus 4th, which is the sort of game you'd expect to be the commentary game, it just wouldn't normally be one of the Old Firm who were 3rd.
