Dundee gaffer Paul Hartley
PAUL HARTLEY last night slammed TV’s Sportscene and accused regular pundit Pat Nevin of talking nonsense.
The Dundee boss is raging after his side were criticised on the BBC show following highlights of their 1-0 defeat at Aberdeen .
Hartley was fuming at the Dark Blues being labelled disorganised by Nevin and panelist Steven Thompson of St Mirren.
The Dens gaffer branded the show “garbage” and insisted nobody at his club would ever go on it.
Hartley said: “I didn’t see it at first but I was told about it and then I saw it for myself.
“That’s why he (Nevin) has never managed. What would he know about the shape of my team?
“He picks out three incidents in the game. I saw the players’ performance on Friday night, I saw the shape of the team – and some of the stuff he was speaking about was garbage. That sums that programme up.
“He doesn’t know what he’s talking about – and it’s the same every week.

“That’s why I don’t watch it, it’s why I wouldn’t have any of my players going on it – and I wouldn’t go on it myself. It’s the worst programme I’ve seen.
“Does it have any credibility? No, it’s got none. It’s not what it used to be like, away back in the 1980s when you wanted to sit up and watch Sportscene on a Saturday night.
“Now you don’t want to watch it. You just hear people talking about it.
“He (Nevin) wasn’t a defender, he has never coached or managed a team. He has probably never seen us play this season. He can have his say but he’s talking rubbish.
“I’ve told you straight the programme is terrible. No matter what anybody says, it’s garbage – and I’m not the only one who thinks that"
I'm just amazed that anyone still watches this. But, he's certainly right about Nevin, he's a pompous wee prick and generally says fuck all but takes some amount of words to say even that.
