Not sure if they've been carried over from the old SPL or what but they seem very old fashioned and certainly not conducive to the latest technologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Your example looks a bit weak now following Ayr chairman stating that he asked to change their vote from a Yes to a No but told not allowed , how on earth can we have a governing body that have rules that say you can change a vote from no to yes but not the other way ......any club that doesn’t back an external enquiry should hang their heads in shame .....It’s Company Law that prevents a yes vote being changed to a no vote 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough needed to cover all six ties in each round of the 8 remaining SPL rounds of fixtures? Fair enough you seem to know better, you must be ITK. Bear in mind most OB events are set up the day before the event as it is a lengthy procedure. I'm not ITK, I just don't believe Scottish games on BBC are broadcast at a poorer quality than any other game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye whatever, You took my suggestion that BBC struggle to give decent coverage (one camera) of highlights of the SPFL (Happy DA?) over my main point that BBC Scotland doesn't have enough equipment to stream live coverage of all the top league games if they were played behind closed doors. BBC highlights on MotD and even their Championship program usually have multiple camera angles, our highlights rarely do but that as I said was not my main point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC1878 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Why is it not company law that you cant change a no vote to a yes? Just interested . Seems strange to have a rule for yes but not for no.Under company law, there is no such thing as a no vote. In fact it’s not a matter of voting yes or no. You have 28 days to vote on a resolution and you either vote FOR the resolution or you don’t vote. The problem here is that the SPFL board included an AGAINST option on the ballot paper to avoid having to wait the 28 days. So in effect, if a club voted against the resolution, technically they haven’t voted because legally, you can’t vote against a resolution. Whereas by voting for a resolution it is legally binding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's correct at all, there are numerous angles in Sportscene's highlights package of a majority of games. Your assertion that a national broadcaster like the BBC don't have the equipment to film 6 football matches in one day (might not even need to film 6 one day if the games are staggered over a weekend) seems wide of the mark too, but I concede I don't have an equipment list from the BBC to verify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, BBC don't show the Championship in England - highlights are on Quest and are far from top quality. I would guess that Sky do the vast majority of filming for the Premier League and BBC just use the footage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single Premiership game on Sportscene has at least two cameras covering it, often more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if they did not ask for a no vote they would need to wait the full 28 days before they could conclude matters..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems crazy to me . The fact that the spfl only gave the clubs a couple of days on this was why there was so much of an issue. If they had given them a week wouldve been far better and I doubt any clubs wouldve gone under. Edited May 1, 2020 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm not too sure about the coverage of the top flight, but the highlights from our game against the Pars in the Scottish Cup were fantastic and there were numerous cameras there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
