I'll concede they could do that, but they could also have been able to show those matches that had been live matches shown on tv still televised when they went to a replay; whenever they were played.

fuckthespl 2,504 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 So what did they say about the use of it? The fans who gave us the stream should get the jail, the club booted out of the competition and the fans fined for viewing the stream? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the first match was shown on tv should have meant that the replay, at a smaller venue as well, should have been shown. Both our game and the Edinburgh derby would generate a great deal of interest to the football fan here. The rule that states only CL can be shown on television is both absurd, and unfair. On the point highlighted - about not leaving it later - the Dundee / Dumbarton game is later - next week. Albeit on a CL night again, but surely the Rangers Kilmarnock game could have been "later", i.e. this Monday - and postpone the game this week against QOS? Same applies to the H/H game too. This isn't a dig at you, I'm just asking... Second, for anyone that can tell me, 10/20 years ago, when a team drew in the Scottish Cup, didn't they used to replay the game at the weekend (postponing whatever league game) instead of a midweek replay? Or am I completely wrong on this point? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I completely wrong on this point? I think the Dundee/Dumbarton game should have been this week at the latest. I'm happy about when our replay was played. We shouldn't be postponing a vital match this week so that we have to move a cup replay when we already have a midweek beforehand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking away the replay will devalue the SC, in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like bad scheduling to me? Why not have it on the Monday or last week so people could tune in to all the games and the clubs benefit? Seems pretty amateur unless I'm missing something.

I've already agreed that it could have been played last week; but why should we need to play on a Monday just so the CL can have exclusivity? The game in this country needs promoted; to have to big games with no coverage whatsoever is wrong; and it is unfair on clubs who could do with the extra revenue. Had we not needed to play a replay, I would have wanted to watch the Edinburgh derby; I think there would have been a demand for that match had it been a live match. Can you imagine if it had been an Old Firm replay this week, with no coverage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in the comments that Barcelona were allowed to televise their match last night during Champions League matches? Not really a level playing field at all, if true... But I guess we knew that already. The Champions League lost it's lustre a long time ago for me. Too many people still buy into the hype. It's practically a closed-shop as it is and it's just dull. Can't believe some people say it's a more exciting tournament than even the World Cup. Talk about being brainwashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,390 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not enough time (on my lunch) to read the whole thread, just enough time to mention that STV Edinburgh showed footage of someone doing a periscope broadcast of the Edinburgh Derby. So, did that get a mention on Scotland tonight??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to take a radio to the local football pitch and we'd play headers and volleys listening to second half commentary on Radio 2 then it was Sports Report for the final scores.

Instead I switched my phone off and watched films up until midnight then caught the game on Rangers TV using a VPN. Quite enjoyed it tbh, cracking open a beer at midnight on a Tuesday For me here in the States it wasn't too bad as it started at 7pm and I was able to have a drink as I didn't have to drive later.
