I missed the game at Gorgie last night as I was night shift so niavely thought there would be highlights bought from the 4 home teams club cameras if they had them.

Watched STV then BBC Scotland and other than Celtics Champions League draw and the fact Bobo Balde was refusing to leave, nothing, not even the scores, it was if the games didn't even take place, 4 SPL teams were in action last night all with not insubstantial supports and they were ignored.

Why don't we just all pack up and let those 2 play each other 36 times a year?

was the same for us on tuesday.

Although them not reporting it on the news would hardly take me to the stage of cancelling everyone elses games just so the old firm could play. Its only reporting scotland after all. Now if i turned up at Cappielow on a saturday and it was rangers playing celtic i'd be pretty pissed off. tongue.gif

The whole thing is a total joke. You have two massive cup upsets in Morton and Airdrie Utd beating the Edinburgh 'giants' and it is not even mentioned on the national news. Pathetic to say the least.

Diddy cup anyway.

If the Alba TV deal for the challenge cup works, maybe they will consider some matches and reports from the full football league?

With so many other matches on TV just now maybe it's something neutrals of the Semi finals and finals should think about, tune in and encourage Alba's support.

You boys will need to wise up.
How can anything connected with the SFL possibly compete with stories about Balde shafting Celtic or the English Third Division shafting Rangers and Celtic.
Seriously though , now that the draw has been made you can look forward to hours and hours of discussion of what aftershave Rooney uses to whether sweaty armpits make the Villareal keeper suspect with high balls.
I find myself listening more and more to Radio 5. There's nearly as much about the SFL there without the repetetive crap about the OF and the added bonus of not having to listen to Chic Young who is the closest thing the World will produce to audible sh*t.

I thought you were being serious?

Like it or not Rangers or Celtic will prove consistently more interesting than anything the likes of Morton FC can conjure up.

More interesting to the moronic bigotted tribes who glory hunt with the OF maybe but not to the rest of us.

Four times I've tried to write something here and ended up somewhere else.
Can I just say :
F##k the Scottish Media, the SFA, SFL, SPL and the old firm

and leave it that.
Phew, that's better. huh.gif

Alway's will be the case, the Scottish media don't give 2 shit's about anybody apart from the OF. It's a pisser but what can you do.

We already do play each other 36 times a season. The big news every monday is how we got on compared to how Celtic got on. Its pretty immaterial which teams we happened to be playing. When we play each other it just makes things more simple. How morton got on is news to a few people in greenock but it's not going to be national news unless you do something like knocking us out of a cup. Knocking Hibs out of a cup that no one in the SPL cares much about is big news for you but you need to put it in perspective before you go bleating about the media not sharing your enthusiasm.

Celtic and Rangers and far too over-rated in my opinion - they really should be pumping anybody in the SPL but they very rarely do. Celtic, Rangers and the media spoil scottish football - if Celtic or Rangers are beaten comfortably its allways Celtic/Rangers played shite rather than the opposition out classing them
