Ozblue 4,331 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I wonder why the deal covers the whole of the SPFL and not the top tier as is usual?Can't imagine why the Chinese are interested in seeing Brechin, Stenhousmuir, Ayr .... unless ...What? Blechin City is big crub in China terevision Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian 4,281 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You're telling me...The unholy trinity gets together for a quick rendition of your favourite Irish "folk" tunes.Fat Alex has a cheek waxing lyrical about this being great for scottish football when he did little to prevent it's greatest financial catastrophe.Still, if they get a wee junk (et) out of it, it can't be all bad.It still seems ludicrous to me that decisions about our game are being made by vested interests within it.They aren't even trying to hide it now.

derekweir29 505 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Picture alone is enough to make you cringe. It is s a totally shit deal when you work it out. Doncaster still hasn't worked on a sponsor enough said Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,333 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm not paranoid in the slightest and dont buy into all that 'everyone is against us' stuff but I do think on occassions like this Doncaster and Lawwell use opportunities like that photo to troll those who are against them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosebrad 452 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Its a good deal for Scottish Football althrough we wont see much of the extra revenue until the 2015/16 Season.People may look at it and say its not enough but its an extra £2m a year in the pot, its also a potential goldmine for Rangers, other clubs and the league in general from a sponsorship point of view,China is an absolutely huge market and by the time we're in the Premiership fans will be intrigued by the Old Firm game, it'll be absolutely huge World Wide, thats a pretty big foundation to build on, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and even that mob could hopefully follow our lead in bringing in big sponsprships due to the fact its an access point to China.Forget the £2m, thats just a top up, the big thing here is our club and possibly others as well as the league itself has 10 years access to China, very astute move in my opinion.You also forget that it is one of the places that forge everything anyone in the world make. Why would they buy any goods when they buy from forgers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point on Scottish teams get some PR in China, but I don't know why gaming companies would be interested in our football league, maybe that is why wee hitler was there.

ayesteady 78 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Had to laugh....!!!"There is clearly a growing appetite for European football coverage in China and now football fans across this country will be able to enjoy the action from iconic Scottish footballing venues such as Easter Road, Fir Park and Pittodrie," said Salmond. "Aye...Iconic all right!!Iconic in that little fanny's eyes the saddo that he is. IMO after a matter of weeks of watching Kilmarnock, St Mirren and their likes the Chinese will be put off football for life and look for an alternative Iconic sport like ladies beach volleyball (Hmm! now where did I put that remote control again) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayesteady 78 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 'Clubs representative Peter Lawwell?' We keeping up the plural pretense then are we?Lawwells dominant involvement in these kinds of deals does nothing to allay the concerns that Scottish football is being arranged to suit one entity.The slanty eyed one does seem to have too much involvement in all the decisions that affect Scottish football whether it be SFA or SPFL related but if it means the Chinese accept him as one of their own and keep him over there it can't be such a bad thing really.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 What we should be doing is buying the best Chinese player we can afford in January and get him in the squad, that will generate some interest in us over there.I'm pretty sure a certain other team will have thought of this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
