Bridgeofsighs

teurish, shameful quality of BBC’S Sportscene on a Saturday.

Last Saturday was a good example. David Currie is a talented, genial host, but was done no favours by guests Tom English and Paddy Bonner, who talked endlessly about Celtic. Heaven knows, both have form! At the bottom of the screen crucial scores were coming in but were largely ignored. At the side of the screen was a list of English scores and some were out of date.

By 4.45pm, after the gallant efforts of David and the other guest, Steven Thomson, to drag Tom and Paddy away from the topic of Celtic and their irrelevant comments about the Anderlecht match, there was some discussion of the impact of results coming in.

David Currie is a consummate professional and he had to be, given that captions Restricting the Forth Road Bridge to pedestrians, cyclists and buses must represent the largest waste of a transport resource in Britain.
