The Naitch Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Predictably both Rangers and Celtic on Premier Sports. Auchinleck vs Ayr and Hearts vs Livingston on BBC Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Excellent. The two games I'm actually bothered about are on the BBC. f**k Premier Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 how much will the live TV coverage be worth to Talbot (and Ayr obviously)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 how much will the live TV coverage be worth to Talbot (and Ayr obviously)? Think it's about £30,000 each. It used to be more than double that I think but they have taken some of the TV money that used to go directly to the clubs involved and added more to the general prize pot. I'm not that disappointed that the Fife derby isn't on TV but I'd have thought Hearts at home to Livi isn't quite the same level of interest as had it been at the Tony Mac. Celtic at home though. Boak. To be expected from an Irish company needing to raise revenue from subscribers though I guess and not far away from what Sky have done in the past.

CM. Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Makes my decision whether to subscribe or not easier if all premier sports are going to show is the old firm especially when they're at home to lower league dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Hearts and Livingston game is a weird choice. Glad the Ayr game is televised. I'll be in Amsterdam missing it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Considering I'll be at any game that Saints play, no danger I'll be subscribing to Premier Sports as these picks will be par for the course with them. I'll bet now that they don't fulfil their obligation when it comes to Betfred Cup group games as well. The Fife derby would have been a nice pick but two top six teams facing each other shouldn't be dismissed just because Livingston aren't fashionable. They are a decent side and will give Hearts a good game. Other pick from BBC Scotland is really good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 A bumpkin 'derby' between two absolutely stinking teams staring at seaside league football next season really wouldn't be a 'nice pick' at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 No surprise on the PremierSport picks: as I was saying their business model and their previous Challenge Cup choices (which were almost entirely Celtic B) pointed the way. Even an OF home tie will generate subscriptions+pay-per-views from Celtic/Rangers fans who don't normally attend, or who can't or won't attend due different time or not being on ST book, beyond most ties. Similarly no surprise from BBC picking Hearts v Livingston. I'm glad my final prediction proved wrong, and they chose Auchinleck v Ayr over something rather drab involving top tier sides... It will be interesting to see if this is repeated in future seasons, as it's been reported their "extra" tie is for Friday night on the new BBC Scotland digital channel, which starts later this February.

Poet of the Macabre Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Don't really see why people are getting on at Premier Sports for picking the Celtic and Rangers games. OF vs Anyone will have more people signing up than almost any other combination of teams. The mistake was getting into bed with them in the first place. Once the deal is done, you can't blame them for trying to make maximum £££ they can from the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
