The idea originally was that hopefully Celtic were still in the CL so could play Tues/Fri or Wed/Sat. As for Rangers, they only have two Scotland players (neither of which would probably start). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Not many will have noticed this but the half hour build up and first half of the St Johnstone v Celtic match was on Sky Sports main event, then the Second half was shunted over to Channel 408 or something so they could switch to the build up of an EPL game that was still a fucking hour away from kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole game was on Sky Sports Football. Main Event is one of the most pointless channels ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Main Event was launched to hinder BT when they were buying up rights all over the place. It put BT in a position where they couldn't guarantee which games would be shown on their platform with a Sky subscription as BT were only entitled to sell the Sky Sport Football channel and thus if you wanted to guarantee that you'd get access to all the EPL content then you should get a Sky (Or Virgin) TV package instead of BT's offering. It's proven as you say, to be utterly pointless in the long run though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has had the effect of indirectly riling up a load of **** on twitter though, so not all bad I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sky's Scottish football coverage is basically Celtic and Rangers TV rolled into one channel. How can anyone be surprised at their latest trailer? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's proven as you say, to be utterly pointless in the long run though. Not quite true. It was Main Event that was originally only available on BT because Sky are legally obliged to offer all “premium” content to other platforms. ME was the way of doing that in as minimal a way as possible. So it was possible to get all of Sky’s Premier League games via BT, except when two were on at once (i.e. last day of the season). But BT now carry Now TV with the full Sky Sports lineup, which is what has rendered Main Event pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 When you constantly tell the world that Scottish football is utterly reliant on Sky money, then they will promote it however they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZingaliMan Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Phoned up sky to see if I could get Sports for a month to take in the Scotland games. After a bit of negotiations got a 6 month deal for £20 a month feel that was a good deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont bother watching away games live . Can watch our away game the next day ether full match or highlights . So £20 for all Sky sports is a no brainer for me. Fully understand it's not for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Some absolute suppers in the Aberdeen support defending the video and even replying to Cormack's comments with, 'It's only fair, we very rarely score against Celtic.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
