Are they really going to get many extra subscribers this weekend for the one game? They might though in the long run if they do put it on free to view. Agreed 4 minutes ago, esquire8 said: They 4 games are the only reason Sky give the SPFL money. They won't piss away a quarter of their investment because nippy says so. They are still getting their money. Folk have already subscribed, so that money is in the bank. Like ElBudalo said above, they could give it away free and it would not cost them much directly. It would set a bit of expectations that they might do it for the next game though, if that is under similar circumstances. If this was the case, people might not re-new their subscriptions and at this point it would cost them. I will be surprised if they do show it free, but I dont think it is impossible.

M0NTANA 494 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Scottish Govt could have bought the Old Firm games for the cost Sky paid the SPFL for the entire contract and it would be much less detrimental to the economy than the lockdown imposed.

Prso's headband 35,667 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It isn’t getting postponed now lol. Every player will be back in their teams bubble so I’d be very surprised if there was any more positives. It isn’t getting postponed on the basis of cunts going to others houses. That’s been happening since the start of lockdown, regardless of football or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,667 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Also you can’t use Sky as an excuse for not showing it for free when you can buy a sky pass for £10 and this idea was only introduced literally yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of that we are having 4 people in my house ffs am not hosting a street party. Aye I know and I understand. Its not about just one party (or gathering), there will be thousands going on across the county. 1 party would have almost no impact in the grand scheme of things, but you add the impact of them all, and it will mean allot of deaths. I understand why you want to do it, I want the same thing! I just think that people should really try to limit gatherings just now as the hospitals are reaching breaking point.

Essential gatherings are okay. Things like Hospital Wards etc. I wouldnt go on a protest march, I think the government should ban them during the pandemic. Schools, personally I think there should be another look at closing them in the short term and doing distanced learning, but I can see the argument for them staying open and being classed as essential. Workplaces, in general, if folk can work from home, they should. I dont think the country can afford to completely shut down the economy, so if we cannot afford to send everyone home on furlough, then I can see why we have to keep them open. Churches, I would close them all, but that was my position even before COVID, so I may be a bit biased on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power of the media is unbelievable. They showed two fat cunts in OZ fighting over bog roll. The next day you couldn't buy any. That's how powerful the media is. I believe there is a coronavirus around (which there has been since humans have been around) But it's laughable we should hide and not interact with people we love for a virus which kills people who would die from a cold anyway. So no I don't believe it's a total hoax but I do believe there is an agenda to control and reduce world population through vaccinations. Two classic war tactics are to divide and conquer, and out of chaos come order. There is plenty of that around now and unless people rise up then life will never be the same again. People say we are a free country but I believe everything we see,read, and watch is controlled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the % of you out there is hopefully small enough to not make a big difference. Im more looking at the larger proportion of normal folk who know what they are doing is not helping, but are not really willing to give up the little luxuries to combat the issue.
