The Master

They had 13 cameras at Dens last week, including the 2 fixed goal-line cameras and the steadicam. I think you’d struggle to find 30 unique camera positions in most Scottish grounds.

“Aston Villa’s big semi”

The Daily Record regurgitating the nonsense about last season's Scottish Cup Final being shown UK-wide on the BBC. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/celtic-vs-rangers-scottish-cup-32648355 While it technically was, due to availability of BBC One Scotland and BBC Scotland on the iPlayer and cable/satellite in rUK, the clear implication is that it was on BBC One everywhere.

I’m pretty sure it is possible for two people to be perfectly in line, but it only applies to spherical players in a vacuum.

Jesus Christ.

They announced a 3pm kick-off for the final after the semi-final draw.

What odds on the SFA rolling back on their previous commitment, and making this a noon kick-off when the FA Cup final is announced for 3pm?

Philippe Clement likes this. I can't believe it's a couple of years shy of 20 years since this was first broadcast, and that you're avoiding spoilers because there's people on here who are too young to remember it first time round (if they were even born). 20 years ago should be something from the 80s. Jeez, I'm getting old. Brilliant series, though. The sequel, Ashes to Ashes, isn't bad either, and does a good job of explaining things.

With it being a Manchester derby again, it’s likely the final will kick off at 3pm. Pray for the SFA, with them having already confirmed the Scottish Cup Final for the same time.

Pass back.

It’s the first “Old Firm Final” since 2002. And if it was about keeping Premier Sports happy (not Viaplay anymore), and you believe there is corruption, it would be orchestrated for them to meet in the semi-finals.

Amazing.

Penalty to Rangers incoming?

That’ll be that then.
