It seems that the sports staff at BBC Scotland are walking on eggshells after the state broadcaster issued a grovelling apology then threw Michael Stewart under the bus to regain access to Ibrox.
On Friday Reporting Scotland produced a PR piece on Walter Tull from inside Ibrox, previewing today’s friendly match against Spurs.
Unfortunately it wasn’t very friendly between the fans as Police Scotland were forced into action before the match.
Tottenham won the match 2-1 with Harry Kane scoring in the 50th and 56th minutes after Antonio Colak opened the scoring in the first half.
Covering the results on Radio Scotland ‘Motherwell fan’ Jane Lewis unfortunately got the score-line the wrong way round.
Bring back Richard Gordon!

@Jane__Lewis Killie won 4-1 today, not sure why you said it was 1 each!

Afraid so, can’t believe a producer didn’t pick up on it as you ran through the full time results! Hope nobody was checking their coupon ?

Reading out score-lines is fairly basic, perhaps it was rustiness on the back of a long close season. Hopefully Lewis will be on her A game when the competitive action gets underway with the first Champions League qualifier just 10 days away and the prospect of Malmo II when Union SG visit Ibrox.
Taken from the Daily Record’s report on the game this afternoon ..
‘ The Parkhead boss watched his side round off their pre-season campaign with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City on Saturday. ‘
The state of journalism in this country is atrocious
Would not try and light my coal fire with that rag.
The meeja in Scotland are so unprofessional and don’t get even the basics right.
I hesitate to call them amateurs since true amateurs demonstrate a love for and commitment to their work.
This shower are just incompetents who got where they are because of who they know.
An utter embarrassment to sports journalism in this country.
She’s a woman what do you expect best place for them is in house keeping it clean getting the dinner ready and in the bedroom.
Nothing new. I seem to remember in the nineties that the entire commentary team in a televised game at Ibrox did not know the score during most of the first half.
She’s a manky self confessed hun. What do you expect ?
Maybe her false teeth popped out at the vital moment and she just lost her concentration. She couldn’t be a journalist if she just talks pish. Could she!?
Maybe she had had a drink and was wondering if she could ask Charlie Adams if it would be okay to drive home afterwards!?
