Mikey Stewart though? He's far too colourless for a man of your stature. He'd have whatever the modern equivalent of "chicken in a basket and a half bottle of Mateus Rosé" is. I had luncheon in this establishment about 5 months ago. I was seated at a table of 4, directly to my right was Thomas English with what I presume was his lady wife ( could have been a sexy hooker) We move onto the game of 'How well do you know Tom English'? He had a starter and a main - what did he eat?

If we throw our lot in with commercial channels based outside Scotland, of course the coverage will be hideously OF-centric. Chasing the biggest gross sum possible does not serve our game well. I'm far more interested in how wealth in our game is distributed, than I am in the overall size of the pot that will lopsidedly by divided up. I'd very happily take a game that was 'poorer in quality' if it was more egalitarian. That's an ideal world. Turkey's won't vote for Christmas. We have clubs in our Premier Division who cannot compete for signings with teams in the English 4th tier. I know more people who'd rather watch EPL because Scottish football is a 'joke' than actually take more than a passive interest in it. This is due to the presentation and fact we're always losing our top talent. They have your interest and mine. It's these lapsed viewers they need to capture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup then Duck leg for TE. It was that Jerusalem artichoke stuff, and it was decent because I ate it. A fine man and although I don't really like Rugby I can listen to him talking about the attritional nature of the ulster pack and how they should nullify the Edinburgh front 5 and I can google the result to see if he's called it.

At dinner time he has the salmon starter all day long but it's lunch time, and he hasn't even discounted the burger for main, and if he ordered it he wouldn't be cutting it in half. I don't know where he lives but he's frequently in south #perthshire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point lamenting players leaving here to play in lower tiers in England. That's simply economics and a result of the fact that capitalism red in tooth and claw, has been allowed to run unfettered through a deregulated industry over recent decades. Yes, it infuriates me that the broadcast media courts semi interested masses to the exclusion of a genuinely committed handful, but begging for a few more quid from Sky is to play the rigged game that damages us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking for the SPFL to collaborate with sky to put out a better overall product that enhances our league and doesn't cater to two teams. Ideally I'd like us to go down another route than sky sports. Unfortunately it seems to be the only show in town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as others have pointed out, why would Sky wish to cater to sides that would mean their viewing figures suffer? Sky don't care about Scottish football at all. In fact in characterising their attitude to any such negotiations, your Partridge shrug thing might come in handy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said several times that I believe if we did all we could to actually promote the league and not just two teams then we may not look so tin pot. I'll leave it there.

Too long is spent chasing the interest of the thoroughly uncommitted, which comes at a cost to those who are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
