vanderark14 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3459660/sky-sports-100m-scottish-football-bt-sport-rights/ sky looking likely to get exclusive rights Despite the increased money, I don't think this is a great idea. Sky's coverage is embarrassing and the pundits they get like lee mcculloch and kris boyd can barely string a sentence together. I much prefer BT who give balanced coverage. Scottish football on sky is just a bog advert for the OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's a real shame that BT seem to be pulling out of the sport game. Their Scottish football coverage shits all over Sky's pathetic efforts. I'd like to think Sky would look to poach some of the BT staff and replace the wallopers like Boyd/Commons/Walker and, worst of all, Iain Crocker. Doubt it though.

Tartan_McCole Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Can't wait to watch Sky repeatedly put the wrong club badges next to teams and generally have no clue about what's going on with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The money is good news for the game but agree with the above, BT are much better at promoting the Scottish game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 BT is excellent coverage of Scottish football, people that generally seem to know what they’re talking about and have a passion for what they’re saying. Will be disappointed to see it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipped flake Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Simple answer. Cancel Sky and BT and let them know why. Money talks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redz Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I read (The other day) some unofficial minutes (Notes) from a meeting between Fraser / Cormack & our new Commercial Director (Wickes?), and several hundred ST's / AberDNA ers,' that had Cormack saying to ignore (Take with a pinch of salt) this release as the clubs had seen nothing of it Just sayin.....As like many, I hope(d) BT secure the contract (As long as the offer / package is right) too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 If they weren’t all about short term gain, an inferior deal with BT might be better for the game and lead to better commercial deals in the future. As others have said, they give good coverage and actually promote our game. Sky are only interested in 2 teams and don’t even try to hide it.

ParisInAKilt Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Unfortunately the teams need the money, especially the clubs banking on Celtics champions league cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is banking on that, and if they are they deserve to go bust. Celtic have had a decent run of qualifying, but the qualification is getting harder as the big teams try and pull up the ladder behind them. Dunno how it works with Europa league? Do clubs get a (much smaller obviously) solidarity payment for that? Do you get 2 lots of that for both teams in Group stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Scottish cup has gone to premier sports for 6 years. Hopefully some games will be on Freesport. On another note, I see the Swedish league have agreed a deal worth £50million a season. Even the sky deal is £50million short of this!

sbcmfc Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 2 games on BBC and 2 on premier sports per round. Theyll struggle to find 4 games to screen if Rangers and Celtic draw each other or get knocked out in the 4th round. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolling hIlls Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I for one am looking forward to sky again. Better coverage and more money for the clubs. Kris Boyd is early in commentary but his experience when talking is invauble. Loiking forward to his testmonial at rugby park against the rangers legends. Hope it a 50/50 split.
