Hugo Boss was responsible for designing & manufacturing the black Nazi SS uniforms and also Hitler Youth outfits.
Was Grandad a straight-arm saluting rabid anti-Semite ?
Yes, but there was more to him than that.

Harsh, but fair.
Another way to stop a horse running is for me to put money on it.

It’s not taking a moral high ground. It’s questioning how we can encourage others to consider why they put so much time and money into a sport in a different country when they could have much more impact with that input on their own doorstep.

Surely the whole point of advertising is encouraging people to spend their money differently.
I think that's different from what you said before. The governing bodies should promote the game, but you originally questioned spending choices.

Best player I've ever seen in a Sons shirt.
My pal was his strike partner for Coatbridge High. I believe Sharpe did the heavy lifting in that pairing.

Deserving is always a dangerous word to use, but yes, Scottish clubs need the money more than English ones in general.
Scottish table tennis needs the money more than Scottish football.
I need the money more than Scottish table tennis.
Someone using a food bank needs the money more than me.
Given the discussion was about reallocating money already being spent on football, on a football forum, I’m not sure bringing anything else in to it was overly relevant.
Need is as contentious as deserving. It's also not reallocation of a central fund, it's individuals exercising choice on how they spend their own money. If someone from Glasgow decides to shell out on an Arsenal season ticket instead of spending it on Clyde my opinion on it doesn't matter.
Personally, I wouldn't, it's vastly overpriced and inconvenient, so I won't. I'd still go if I was in London or watch on the telly if it's on.

It can’t be measured to the nth degree when there’s no way of knowing the exact moment the ball is played.
With an attacker running forward a millisecond delay in pausing the video can be the difference between offside or onside.
I think the multiple cameras at different angles and monitors will allow them to see the point the ball is played.
Anyway, I don't like it any more than you, but it does what it's supposed to. If the offside rule stays as it is, it's a case of living with VAR or scrapping it altogether, but I don't think that's very likely.

Not even sure what point you’re trying to make with that, but yeh we probably should. Or literally anything that isn’t just chucking at some of the biggest business in the world that wouldn’t miss it.
I understood your post to mean you felt Scottish football was more deserving. Mine was pointing out there are even more deserving causes.

Hmm.
This is the problem. They've brought a facility that can measure to the nth degree. Once it has done that, the operator has no problem. It could be a millimetre or a kilometre. Offside is offside, over the line is over the line.
Do we have to change the rule ie clear daylight, if so how much daylight? Something more radical?

Maybe we should give the money to poor people?

Don’t be so trivial.
There is clearly a moral scale here - someone who watches the top end of the premier league should be stripped of a vote in general elections, whilst someone who samples English non league football when available as well as being keenly interested in continental football should be fast tracked to high public office.
Any level of continental football, PSG, Barca, Real...

Do some of you think there's a moral high ground that can be achieved by not watching English football? Where are the lines in the sand?
I won't watch Celtic or Rangers.

I didn’t say that. Like everything to do with football this will be down to money. In Scottish football, the first failing is with Doncaster and Maxwell not being able to negotiate good enough TV and Sponsorship deals.
I don't disagree that they're idiots but who would pay more than is paid by the existing tv companies. The perception they have always had is Scottish football is a schedule filler, when there's nothing else on.

Play off final for promotion to Premier should be one game at Hampden instead of two legs.
By the time Hampden has been paid for, there would be no money for the clubs.

Aye, the walk actually takes two days because of the number of chapels they pass. It's a feat of endurance in that heat.

I'm not disputing that someone living in Stockport will be interested in Stockport, that's not the point. In the last few posts you've said that people in Scotland will be interested in Stockport v Tranmere but then go on to question why someone in England would watch Partick v Ayr. Other than, oh I don't know, massively increased media attention, what does the English game have that's so interesting? To get back to the original point, why is this considered interesting enough to show across the board while the Scottish game isn't? You're not wrong that people outside of Scotland don't care, but the coverage has to come first. I doubt you care about watching table tennis but how would you if you never see it.
League 1 and 2 aren't on that much, although Wrexham have attracted a bit of interest.
Stockport is a great story, championship level to non-league and part time before going back up the divisions again, Tranmere, not dissimilar. I'm far more interested in English lower division football, more so since 2012 when I decided I would never have anything concerning Rangers and Celtic on my telly.
(I watch the NI games as well, mainly because I've been to a couple. South of the border, I don't see as much, but watch for Bohemians results.
