There was no fine for the first 6 years, until the Premier League changed the rules. Oddly, his refusal to speak suddenly stopped later that season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 5 hours ago, gannonball said: Pretty sure its a maximum of about 6 home games per team is it not? Once you have the derbies, flag day and trophy day and a random other game its pretty even. I'm sure its 6 games for 10 of the clubs but only 4 for 2 certain clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The 4 Celtic home games live last season were the two against Rangers, the trophy day against Hearts, and the 1-0 win over Killie which (coincidentally) came just after Billy McNeill's death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Incidentally, with the reduced number of games under the new deal, I think this will be cut to 4 games per club. It's not clear to me how this is going to work with the Edinburgh clubs (if Hearts stay up), since they couldn't show both home games v Rangers and Celtic and the derbies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we got relegated the contract said we each team needed to be on a minumum of 4 times, so a random game against Dundee was shown towards the end of the season even though we had been down for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want every player binned as they're past it. The manager doesn't care. They win twice and suddenly its new deals all around and a statue. Every.

A benefit of the split is that we always get interesting bottom six games on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not have made more sense to shift one of the games (probably the Cup semi) to the Saturday lunchtime slot as there's no live Premiership game on at that time? BBC Alba only starts broadcasting at 1700 (has to show 2 hours of children's TV first midweek). The BBC Scotland channel starts it broadcasting at 1900 hence the reason for the 1905 kickoff times and finishes at about 0000 and simulcasts BBC Two the rest of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) BBC Alba is showing Scotland Women live at 2pm on a Saturday so the Challenge Cup game could be shown at an earlier time in exceptional circumstances.

Mastermind Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 At least there was a title race up until early February this year, but I think the Quadruple Treble might be the most tinpot thing of them all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 A fact I still can't get over was the clubs demand for 12 less games per season in the new broadcast deal. I would have wanted 12 more ffs! No wonder Sky don't take the SPFL seriously if they say show one game per week, and very occasionally two. If they offered them 72 games (Plus playoffs) Sky might have even dedicated more resources to the SPFL hence improving the leagues stature and standing UK wide and attracting new sponsorship. Neil Doncaster did pretty fucking well, to almost double the amount per game they were paying. Imagine with 72 games per season, the SPFL could have got £50m or so per year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
