Ron Aldo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Would love to hear some kind of explanation as to why Sky are doing this. A three way relegation fight with only one safe spot will absolutely generate viewers.Because they simply don't give 2 fucks.Chelsea v Arsenal is the only English game on tonight and I couldn't care less but if County v Accies was on I'd definitely be watching that. I'm sure most Scottish football fans would be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 If they show a bottom 6 game on the final day then Motherwell v Ross County would be likely because Hamilton are all but down, and County have it in their own hands not to finish 11th. Of course, they should really show both relevant games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 This is very poor from Sky. I realise they have paid their money and can do what they want, but it's a bit shite for fans when the only current option to watch their team is via season ticket or PPV. They showed their contempt of Scottish (and Northern Irish) subscribers with their WC qualifier coverage in March. Hopefully whoever buys BT Sport is going to get their wallet out for Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm not sure they'll bother with a bottom six game on the last day now. I really don't understand why they've just given up at the most interesting point of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I might be wrong here, but shouldn't it be 1st & 2nd - Champions League, 3rd & 4th - Conference League ? Also f**k knows what play off they have discovered between 1st-6th, and they've got a wee line for 11th with no clue as to what that means.

Yeah, that's last seasons divisions where 1st was the Champions league 2nd Round and 2nd & 3rd were Europa League 1st Rounds. Sto assure you both Rangers and celtic will be in champions league qualifying next season, with Hibs and Aberdeen atl3ast getting those 2 European spots. The issue isn't fully resolved as both hibs and St Johnstone are in the Scottish Cup final but we will have to wait and see in that regard. Just to be clear the line at 6/7 is to indicate that the league has been split and teams cannot switch sides. I.e. even though Motherwell have more points than Livigston and St Johnstone, they can't go above then. The 11th place line is to indicated the Relegation play off spot. This is different from the Automatic Relegation spot as the team in 11th will play the Relegation play off semifinal winner in a 2 legged tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Out of curiosity how many games were Sky entitled to show this season and how many have they shown? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're allowed to show up to 48 Premiership games plus 6 playoff games, they handed back 4 playoff games to the SPFL who sold them to the BBC. So it's 48 + 2, now. They will have only used 41 of their games come Sunday. Pretty poor considering they used 12 games in August alone.

TheScarf Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Its criminal that they they didn’t televise any on Wednesday night. Mind you, their beloved Rangers have won the league now so they can ignore Scottish football again until August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
