If folk aren't tuning in to watch football because the commentary isn't in English then they are complete fannies. I remember watching a League Cup semi-final between Rangers and Celtic many moons ago on TG4 (Irish TV gaelic language station). The fact that I couldn't understand a word of the commentary didn't bother me. The only bit I did understand was when they lost sound and the commentator could be heard talking to his technical crew - in English - "Can nobody hear me at all? Nobody?"

Big Berk Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Would have prefered a home tie but away to Dumbarton could have been worse, we've a realistic chance of progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the point of these channels is to promote use of the language and showing these games should hopefully force general population to listen to and take an interest in Welsh / Gaelic. Offering an English language alternative for me just completely defeats the purpose. Yeah I'm looking at it from a personal pint of view rather than as someone who give two fucks about Gaelic. If that makes me a bad person I will just live with it. 41 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: I agree it would be good if they offered that option but I'd be amazed if it increased audiences.

I'll watch United if they're on Alba (and I'm not at the match obviously) but there's probably few other games I'd watch with Gaelic commentary. If that makes me a complete fanny I will just live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafcburty Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Aitken laments 'lucky' Dumbarton https://jordanburtfootball.com/2017/10/11/aitken-laments-lucky-dumbarton/ Strong words by the Sons gaffer after Friday's win over Stranraer. It'll be a tough tie for them against Raith in the next round. I imagine the Championship side will be up for it however considering the comments of their manager at the weekend.

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Assuming this is being shown live on TV (hence the kick off time), what happens if it goes to ET and penalties?

TNS v Elgin was on tv with a 4.30 ko on Saturday while there were lower league fixtures going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I thought this was an interesting article after the carry on of penalties in the earlier rounds: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/10/12/dutch-side-lose-retaken-penalty-shoot-out-three-weeks-winning/ Dutch side ordered to re play shoot out as ref used the wrong format.
