Co.Down Hibee Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm assuming you have a Mon-fri job and no wife and kids? Some weekends I struggle for time to watch Sportscene/MOTD let alone live matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Beyond going to the Aberdeen home games I struggle to watch much football at the weekend these days, even the highlights. Sometimes catch a bit of a game in the pub before and/or after our game. I'm glad the season is away to start as during the week it is good to know that if there is nothing else worth watching or you've got nothing planned then you can find a game on the TV pretty much every night. Last few weeks have been crap in that regards. I really can't bring myself to watch the pre-season games on TV that now resemble more of a travelling circus then anything else these days.

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I used to like watching a few games midweek but don't have BT so hardly see any now. I'll quite happily watch any old match if I'm in the pub but I can't think of any game not involving Villa/Clyde that I would be too devastated about missing. The exception is the World Cup/Euros when I get obsessed and want to watch every single game. I'm usually praying it will rain so no c**t will try to make me sit in a beer garden and miss the game.

buchan30 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm assuming you have a Mon-fri job and no wife and kids? Some weekends I struggle for time to watch Sportscene/MOTD let alone live matches. I'm the same mate. Sometimes at the weekend i will catch the 5.30 game on a saturday, plus soccer saturday when i'm not at the raith games or doing stuff with the family. Got match of the day on record because i usually fall asleep by the time i get settled to watch it. [emoji23] On saying that, had i not got these commitments (and i'm not complaining that i do) i would probably the same as the OP and watching quite a lot (maybe not 15) but a lot of football over the weekends. I've always loved football since i was a bairn, its all i ever wanted to do was play and talk about football, most of my mates aren't that fussed, will watch it, but won't spend all week talking about it, Thats why i enjoy being on here, not just talking football about my own club, but getting to see what other people are saying about clubs across scotland, rather than just the stuff you here on the radio/tv. Sorry, i've taken this off on a bit of a tangent, as you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishD81 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Yeah commitments can certainly have that effect. Always been football mad but blame BT there's too much on for me to not watch it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Lol to be fair, there is a lot of football on the tele once the league seasons start and given the chance i would plunk myself infront of it as well. Enjoy it while you can. I'm the same, if theres a game on and i'm in the house doing stuff, i will have it on in the background. I never seen any of the confederations cup, the league cup games on the tele, or the wummins fitba. so feel like i'm starting to miss it a bit. And playing it on fifa is alright, but it's no the same. Was glad to get back to the raith game on saturday (never thought i'd say that after last season) and just get back to the excitement of not knowing what's going to happen. I think as well, that's what makes sitting down to watch a weekend of football easy, no just the scheduling, but unless you are betting on the games, its easy to enjoy game after game because you don't have a vested interest in the result.

Toma_BullyWee Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm with Talk Talk (I know) and they are doing a deal where I can get Sky Sports for £8pm for 18 months. I haven't looked at the finer details yet so assume it isn't as straight forward as an 18 month contract and will likely be 24 months where the price will shoot up, but they have my interest anyway.

ftk Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I must be in the minority but absolute hate any football that is not Scottish. Hate English footy and all foreign matches just bores me to tears. If Scotland or a Scottish team aren't involved i just dont care. But I do love Scottish Football follow my team home and away and rarely miss any live Scottish tv games.
