Wish there was a bit more transparency for fans as to where the revenue for these streams gets routed. Accept that these are commercial agreements but I'd like to think that even a small fraction goes to my club. Then again, it wouldn't if it was a normal way game so I can't complain. Or can I? Because it's not a comparable product. Still, don't have to suffer getting lost on the way to the 'stadium' again, and enduring the worst catering in the league. I miss live football. Anyway. Bandits. Yeah on one hand it's to make our ST holders get VFM and protect their ST prices, but on the other it's a bit steep for a one off tv game. These are unique times though and with clubs struggling with no gate revenue i'm quite happy to pay ppv prices for all our away games to help those clubs out. I wouldn't normally go to every away game but i'll prob keep on buying PPV for all the away games, except Celtic who don't do them *cough find a dodgy stream. Doesn't feel like a home game now either, with every game feeling the same with it being on the club's own tv, nothing can compare to actually being there in the stand, and the whole build up to the game. Now it's, the game is on the telly, set it up half an hour before ko and sit down and watch it, games over, switch off and go about your business again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Streaming is shite, I struggle to get invested at all and barely even react at goals or that. It'll definitely force fans away from the game, and if its long term I really struggle to see many getting attracted back regularly if they've spent a year having their weekend completely free. Don't begrudge Livi charging what they want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When streaming kicked off and it looked fairly temporary the chat focused on the upsides (like I just did), folk happy to get the time back at the weekend etc. That's fine for a few weeks but as it becomes normalised I want to be wasting my entire Saturday with the whole theatre of the game. I'm pretty glass half full though - if we have another lockdown, a few more months of streaming then maybe the the crowds, particularly the younger folk, will come flooding back because it gives them something 'real' and a shared experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it was that unforgettable I don't blame them for forgetting our 1-0 win. We did. Also a bit misleading suggesting we've struggled against Livi. Since they came back up, our form has been W3 D2 L2 against them. Not a lot between the teams generally. The BBC are shocking when it comes to details on Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably not enjoying it because we’re not winning. Gave a wee fist pump I think. Anyone who knows where I sit will know how I react during games, and ive not reacted to a single decision despite watching every game.

Feel disconnected to it somehow.You’re the opposite of me then, I’m getting more annoyed by refereeing decisions and saints play cause you can see replays and wider views. I’ve never enjoyed listening or watching saints on TV it radio though for some reason. Always rather be at the game getting animated and showing some reaction in person. There’s a random part of me that’s expecting us to score from a cross today, probably purely as a result of Ross McCrorie trying to catch it and it soaring over his head, in off Marvin Bartley’s shoulder who’s behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrorie seems pretty shite at crosses, tbh, or at least before this season, Livi have maybe helped him. Same with Doohan so maybe OF coaching? Would absolutely be playing Hendry and Davidson and peppering him with crosses. He'll have a stormer now though, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been very poor defending set pieces, if you're going to score it'll prob come from one, and it's more likely to deflect off Nicky Devlin as he shites away from blocking a shot. 2 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: McCrorie seems pretty shite at crosses, tbh, or at least before this season, Livi have maybe helped him.

We've not, he still looks indecisive when coming for the ball, same when charging out his box. Stryjek on the other hand looked far better when he played in our 0-0 draw with Sevco, but McCrorie came back in again. Took a sore one going into the post too, as he saved a free kick that looked like a certain goal, but just shrugged it off, fearless and solid looking, still hoping he is going to be playing today, but it'll no doubt be McCrorie in goals still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Decent enough line up if we're not relying on Tiffoney to win headers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's decent about it; playing another game with our strikers sitting on the bench and a suspect keeper in goal? Hopefully St Johnstone dont have their shooting boots on and we can settle down to a nil - nil draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Looking at that Livi team, can’t help feeling Bartley or Holt would have been handy players to have in our squad this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 That's all of today's Scottish Premiership line-ups announced now with the exception of ours. What time are we predicting? It has usually been about 10 minutes before kick-off, but Saints threw a curveball at us last week by deciding not to reveal the line-up at all. I am very excited to see what they do today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our best option up there too. Edited September 26, 2020 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no social media post from Saints whatsoever though. Edit: Actually, no, I'm wrong. They posted it at 2.50pm, so we've been quite consistent actually. My apologies to Saints.

LiviLion Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Just now, Durnford said: Not sure what's decent about it Individually most of those players should be good enough to avoid relegation. McCrorie, Forrest and Tiffoney are probably the only ones who haven't really proven themselves yet (albeit Tiffoney has had less time to do so). Personally I'd have given Stryjek a game based on how many goals we've conceded, to see how he does; however I'm not fully getting the extreme levels of clamouring people are doing to get him in the team, he's only played once where he made one good save and had a few dodgy looking punches from crosses. If he was really that much better than McCrorie he'd be playing. It's also a 4-2-3-1 (I expect) rather than the horrendous 3-5-1-1 that hopefully has been binned. I'd say that's "decent enough" tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Wait, you’re telling me that Rangers youth star Robby McCrorie isn’t the second coming of Oliver Kahn/Manuel Neuer/insert favourite goalkeeper here? (watch for him having a stormer today). Edited September 26, 2020 by Jamie_Beatson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
