Empty It Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Scottish football is box office. The last 4 months of embarrassment after embarrassment from hearts and their board/fans has been utterly joyous. Genuinely the most entertaining months since your big cousins died back in 2012. Thanks Ann and Tom English FTFYAnd I actually agree that the way Budge and others have went about everything has been embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus would any killie fan pay the dosh if it was available? Very annoying after a 5 month wait to see a Scottish premiership game. Hibs have that experience of waiting 3 years to see one so I'm sure they dont see what the issue is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 From what I can see a childs season tickets will get you a stream. Cheapest one I think is £50. That's obviously ridiculously expensive for one game, but it should be good for any other Hibs games you're interested in. I think this is genuinely shite for Kilmarnock (and non ST holding Hibs!) fans fwiw. That's the only workaround I can see for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't, SPFL rules clearly only allow VSTs for Over 16s only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko’s Dive Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Both hibs and Killie are represented on the SFAs emergency committee to oversee “Broadcasting and Innovation”, chaired by Doncaster. So you know where to ask questions. You could also maybe ask why the League of Ireland is managing to produce a cheap streaming service to all fans (and their league is sponsored by a Scottish business!) We are taking our medicine in the Championship now so it’s your game. Looks like you boys are all over it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the issue here. I don't mind clubs making their own price list up but to choose not to have one is crazy. You will always get fans using illegal streams,even if a club got a 1000 viewers at £12 a pop that can pay a couple of players wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbarr20 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Is there any pubs in Edinburgh showing the game on Saturday. I'm through for work and hoping to catch the game. I'll leave my Kilmarnock shirt at home if need be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R10rdans Sports Bar (yes, it’s what you think it is) might be a shout aswell, not sure how likely you’ll be to be able to get in/get a seat mind you. I would avoid your Killie colours though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Hibs have pushed the line about needing a season ticket to see every game pretty hard all summer. I suspect folk will keep buying them up until Saturday and we’ll end up with a very impressive total for the circumstances. If they had opened this game up to everyone, I don’t think anyone would have minded. It’s still more money for the club and more fans getting to see the game. Ultimately though, the strategy they’ve went with has been a success and few upset Killie fans isn’t the end of the world.

But its deffo open now, temp check at door etc etc @Rbarr20 sure you will be ok in all those pubs mentioned - regardless of what you wear. I have no idea of the legality of boozers playing Hibs TV (even if its a ST holder login) in public, but lets be honest there were plenty playing away matches on IPTV pre lockdown................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great but can't see it. Gogic is the biggest miss against them. He was great against the "big teams" because he annoys the f**k out of them. He must have the lowest bookings to fouls committed ratio of any non-OF player. If we sneaked a point with him in the side you can guarantee Lennon would have gone nuts demanding more "protection" for his players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame for genuine home and away Killie fans who are missing out on a game they would’ve seen in normal circumstances. Nevertheless, I get Hibs worrying more about getting this right for 11k if their own customers than a few hundred Killie fans. I’ll bet there are still issues tomorrow. For the majority of Killie fans who wouldn’t have gone to this anyway, it reminds me of the Louis CK bit about people complaining about flight WiFi not working. This wasn’t an option five minutes ago, get over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
