markybear 136 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Just noticed the stv advert that they are showing the RFC v mufc on wed. Funny that eh!One of the epl's top teams pitch up in Scotland and stv are falling over themselves to show the fixture. They obviously forgot that the Turkish champs and one of the top sides in la liga played at ibrox in recent months. Ps I caught the tail end of stv's sport centre there, Stuart McCall doing his pundit bit on the game next wk.... He's fair put on the beef btw, he's not looking all that great at all tbh. Smashing player in his day-unsung hero in smiths 9 in a row side IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 17,912 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'll tape the ITV coverage. Would like to see what the arrogant English pundits have to say about us. Then again, Clive Tyldesley has a massive wankfest over Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon 1,717 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Not every bear can afford sky sports is the point.The bigger the audience the more money they can command from advertisement. They have been picking games that will give them the biggest ratings. I would like them to show every Rangers game but they don't and I am not really bothered. Why not go a long to the game instead of enduring the horrendous coverage from STV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalton 1,192 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Living in england for alot of bears we are used to non coverage of rangers games and put up with 5 miniutes of highlights I think the only time we were on live was when gazza played for rangers in a chapions league game v juventus apart from that the uefa cup final (didnt see it i was at albert square .)I remember moving from scotland to england when we won the European cup winners cup final in 72 had to listen to it on scottish radio with a crap receptionthinking id have seen the whole match on stv at home ! as the game wasnt shown in england .Clive Tyldesley is a man utd fan brilliant isnt it if he is commentating - pass the sick bucket STV though need to get their act together or change their name to the BBC .

Millsyrfc1 13 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 They used to show all the scottish games in the CL that were on a wednesday and they could afford to do their own coverage at the time but they can't afford to choose their games and just broadcast what the english are showing, that's why we need to listen to the english shit when anyone is playing, even though it's probably an improvement on stv commentary.

MisterC 11,804 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 ITV used to allow a Scottish opt out for the CL but not any more thats why we dont get Rangers on STV s they would rather show English teams on the Weds and this one is the best one to get ratings with.

RobertN 381 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Aye same shit last season STV bumped ITV for lots of dough and ITV retaliated by not letting them screen certain programs Only reason we are getting this game is because it is going out in england anyway they are just tacking on scottish pundits and commentary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossDas 1,071 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 What really rankles me is when their Champions League: Extra time highlights show more of the English team's game that was just broadcast live one hour previous than they show of our game; there's no excusing that.

Smashing player in his day-unsung hero in smiths 9 in a row side IMOi could b wrong here, but stv1 is a subsidery of itv.stv has financial issues, and they have agreed to show whatever home games itv1 choose. it just happens to b that rangers drew man united. last year, can u recall any games on stv/itv?no. this is a financial issue. ps, it will be english coverage/commentators during the game.this is my opinion, feel free to agree/disagree.baz.
