Edit - and the TV companies could easily have at least one of the legs in each round on a weekend if they wanted to.

Complain all you want, fact is the clubs and the SPFL don't care, they would all prefer the Sky (and in this case) BBC cash. There will be reasons cited why games can't be moved to other days, not saying I agree with the scheduling but nothing will change so we as fans just need to choose to either make arrangements best we can to attend or to stay home. I remember the same complaints every time we played a cup semi final. Its the same arguments fans of other clubs make every season too - yet its years down the line and nothing has changed, scheduling is the same and these games are in the same days/time slots as we had. Do those at the top (or even in our clubs listen) - do they f**k because they want that % of TV cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do those at the top (or even in our clubs listen) - do they f**k because they want that % of TV cash. I’m not complaining. I’m saying those that do have a fair point, mainly about the final second leg being on a Monday, which I think has only happened once? Im guessing here but I imagine these games are already included in the tv deal so you don’t make any extra cash from it being on tv. The main source of income for championship clubs, especially, so having Friday and Monday games is probably not ideal. People who complain about semi finals are morons as it’s a completely different situation. They are always played at early/late times plus it is always on a weekend so nothing to moan about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen him trying to flog loads of stuff for an absolute fortune. I don't think he was ever on contract to the club but just was working on a volunteer basis. Strange that he feels he has ownership and now wants money. Here's what he had to say on CTO back in 2019; I have the Scottish Cup pitch flag gathering dust in a cupboard and have been talking to some people about what would be the best thing to do with it. The two main suggestions were that...I should auction it as a complete flag....or that I should cut it into sections and frame them so lots of people can get a piece of it as a memento. And then on a later post he adds; For those suggesting I give the flag away. I'll never, ever recover what I have invested in it and the club has already had my "donation". Does this mean the donation was what he paid for the flag or has he taken it as some sort of reward for volunteering. Odd sort of attitude over a flag that was probably supplied by the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flogged Nick Ross's cup final shirt on Facebook a while ago. Why didn't Ross get his own shirt or at least his sponsor or his family? Find it hard to believe that he (and Tarmo Kink) would just hand it over to the club's Twitter guy to flog to line his own pockets.

I’m sure the “match worn” ones were kept by the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds he was some sort of Groupie type hanging about the club and giving the impression he was part of the club infrastructure. Odd behaviour in profiteering. Obviously he was never a fan of the club. Edited May 1, 2022 by SandyCromarty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our low footfall, I'm not sure we should be banning anybody...........although I'd make an exception for anyone with a ST who celebrates either internally or externally when we concede in games against the OF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
