Junkie Derby on the Tuesday at 6 and us on the Wednesday at 6 would be how I'd do it. ??

That actually sounds like the next Channel 5 reality game show.

So who had the bright spark idea of holding the ties at the weekend when we knew that any replays would clash with champions league games in terms of tv coverage.

More money lost to clubs.

On the other hand when did they ever play by the rules,usually made them up as they went along, if something got in the way of their view they just ignored it anyway.

Play the cup replays a week today 

Then the league games the next free 

Midweek.

Midweek tea time kick offs. What a fucking nonsense

Alba showed Challenge Cup games live when the Champions League was on.

Pretty sure Liverpool were on telly one night either a league game or league cup same night as champs league.

Scotland don't have a club playing in the championship so I really don't see why these games cant be shown on television.

[DavieMacRFC 850]

Fuck the Champions League, it's all about the RANGERS.

Why is it so important that it's on the TV, fill Rugby Park, and if you can't go you can see it anyway, cough.

Struggle to watch a game that doesn't involve us tbh.  Don't see much point in watching a game where I don't care who wins

RTV.  Few quid into the club and commentators that do not hate us.

Not judging anyone who doesn't pay via RTV, I know £ can be a factor however if it's an option take it - far better than listening to what ever cunts they serve up.

Only bugbear I have with RTV is they do not show the time or score but apart from that a bit of Zenmate and £6 for a watch is a good option for me as well.

the English FA played their cup ties a week earlier, so replays can still be televised. The Scottish FA didn't have their finger on the pulse when making the fixture calendar.

In fairness to the SFA, its not as if its an annual thing so they can get up to speed......oh wait...

Stupid fucks can't organise drawing names out of balls let alone schedule a potential replay fixture that will not clash with the sodding Champs league.

I think its a bit ridiculous that they cant televise a Scottish game because Portugese, Russian, French and English teams are playing on the same night.

It's to do with giving the champions league the biggest audience as possible. The bigger the audience the bigger they make in sponsorship and advertising revenue. To give to the elite clubs. 

 

Believe it or not,

football is corrupt and capitalistic 

 

doesnt stop anyone tho. I will just stream it from Rangers tv hiding my browsers location

[wullyRFC 5,230]

Will be a 5.30 kick off if it's early not 6

[Corky True Legend 2,682]

Time to go back to the old rule that no match can be shown on TV if there is a live match being played in Scotland.

Unfortunately the game is run for the clubs dripping in cash these days ... why should the Champions league not face competition on television? If it's the best they should have nothing to fear from domestic games 

Am I imagining stuff or wasn't there a game on Alba one night, at the same time as a CL match?

[BEE 4,880]

Surely they can't change the date/time this close to game?
