Season 22/23

[vanderark14]

I read that the Norwegian and Swedish teams get more ash for their TV but less per game. I would have no problem with less per game. every game is screened live in the Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian league whilst we get the OF away season ticket

4/1 for the draw and 6/1 for Rangers to win tonight is rather generous IMO

Maybe the bookies have priced the game based on Rangers performance at the weekend

Is all games live a good thing? Myself and my father haven’t set foot in Easter Road since the dodgy firestick became a thing

I'd still go to Pittodrie if I was back in the north east. I woupd go every week but I'd go to 7 or 8 per season.

Other countries stream all of their games in other countries but they still attract supporters

The WSL promos and coverage on sky is better than what we get for Scottish football.

I'd rather we got less TV money and more folk through the gates. It's a spectator sport after all, not a TV show. 

Having every game on TV would see crowds decrease.

This is my hope whenever Celtic & Rangers finally find a different league. 3:00 kick-offs with minimal TV.

I would love that to happen but its wishful thinking on our part, TV is part of the game now so we should be getting something better than we currently have

Football has been cancelled, I’m disappointed that we’re missing out on the chance to go second, I’m glad that my club wont be dragged through the gutter on sky sports tomorrow by morons.

They’re talking about calling off next weekends matches as well now ffs! Despite my best intentions I’m starting to get annoyed already with this shit. 🙈

Yeah, our kids matches got cancelled just before the announcements were made, with rumours of it being a 10 day postponement, which would bring in next Sunday too. 
 

I get why they’re doing it this weekend, but next weekend is completely unnecessary.

And we'd all laugh at North Korea if they did the same. State of the UK.

North Korea? 

[dandydunn]

At least we now know the sun have no particular favourites in the league 😂😂😂

Sorry, didn't make myself clear.  It's just so OTT, the mass cancellations, media enforced mourning, lack of recognition of other viewpoints etc. Like the Queen would really be upset by kids playing football!

Just waiting on DDYFA calling off our boys' matches on Sunday. Next Sunday, surely not?

[scotlad]

Disappointing but not surprising. Pathetic, bootlicking bastards that they are.

 

 

[scotlad]

Even HM Government's own guidance states there is no obligation for businesses or organisations to suspend operations during "the mourning period".

Awful decision from our football authorities, yet again.

 

[Diamond Scot]

Will there be a minutes silence before the next Scotland game and if so will it be respected?

I turned on to the Calder road in Edinburgh today, 20 metre high electronic advertising boards all changed to lizzies face. North Korea was my first thought

I'd be surprised if there isn't and I'd be surprised if, by the majority, it isn't.

My BIL works in digital advertising in London, he was working all night to get their hoardings changed to pictures of her face.

It's great for me just now as I have a broken knee/leg and more or less stuck in.

Utterly ridiculous that any matches are being cancelled but especially the kids ffs. I remember when I was playing the QM died and we had to do a mins silence. Why don't they just do that and get on with it

Whose decision was it to cancel your kids game ? The team coach or whoever administers their particular league ? It's a ridiculous decision.

I'd find out who it was responsible and give them a piece of your mind.

Oh they are, I have some of the guys from school who frequent Rumours on FB and it's a big cry fest 😂

 

Wouldn't be surprised if they have some sort of display up in the next few days.
