Aberdeen Thistle though, a fifth meeting between the sides, who would possibly want to watch that. Would be amazed if it got on the TV if we get to play either team.

Fuctifano Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think if the winner of Ayr-Clyde was at home it would definitely be the 3rd TV tie, but not so sure with the Edinburgh team who will be heavy favourites being at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 They're probably more likely just to completely bury Scottish football by just foregoing having a third game "cos they're aw shite anyway" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or vice versa. The other 2 ties haven't got a hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there such an obsession on here with making stuff up and using it as a stick with which to beat Sky/BBC/SPFL/SFA/<whoever> with? They do enough wrong without having to dream up other shit. Doing that just means the genuine criticisms end up diluted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they not show Hibs-Berwick on Sky a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, but after the BBC had picked Queen of the South v Falkirk Sky were left with Hibs v Berwick or Inverness v Raith Rovers (Dundee Utd v Celtic had been taken as first pick). Hibs were picked for the same reason that Sevco are always shown, albeit on a smaller scale. Plus it was HibeeJibee's personal derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
