BBC Scotland censor their own in-house blockbuster story

It seems that the web team at BBC Scotland don’t have much respect for one of their most popular and longest serving sports presenters, Richard Gordon.

This afternoon the broadcasting veteran was hosting Sportsound’s coverage of three Premiership fixtures, keeping listeners upto date with the action, the commentaries, previews and the after-match reactions.

It is a demanding gig, not for the faint hearted or the sensationalist which makes the decision to snub the story from Gordon’s Press and Journal column all the more difficult to fathom.

If he can be trusted with six hours of live broadcasting why isn’t his carefully put together piece on the ‘remarkable’ 68 match (now 69) run of no Scottish referee awarding a penalty against the Ibrox Tribute Act in the SPFL not included in the Gossip round up?

They are hardly overloaded with blockbuster news, any time you include ‘news’ from Football Insider it is a sign of desperation.

Perhaps the fact that Kenny Macintyre and Tom English wouldn’t dare go near the biggest issue in football is a warning to the website team that Gordon is heading on the Jim Spence road towards becoming an Internet Bampot with his P&J column strictly out of bounds for the state broadcaster.
