lubo_blaha Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It's becoming a bit of a farce the number of different services you'd have to have in order to watch Scottish football. Would be great if those running the game recognised this and said that regardless of the money on offer, there will be a maximum of say 2 broadcasters able to show scottish football. Would probably drive the bidding up too. Appreciate this is UEFA but just another hoop fans need to jump through. It would be ideal but the problem is that there’s different governing bodies selling the rights to each competition:Scottish FA: Scottish CupSPFL: League fixtures and League CupUEFA: Internationals and European club competitionsAt the moment, all domestic Scottish football (under control of SFA/SPFL) is shown across two paid services with a decent amount of FTA games too. It’s unfortunate that UEFA have so much control over the other rights.It should also be said that we can’t force broadcasters to bid for rights that they have no interest in paying for and showing. I have no idea how much appetite there was from Sky to keep the rights but given the effort put into their output for Scotland games, it would hardly be surprising if they were happy to let the games go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Deans Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Everyone's grandad here but all Scotland games and domestic cup games should be free to view. Its not as if they make buttons from the advertising. Fans as always seem to count the least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nobody else buys them, which I still think is unlikely given that it's right up the street of cowboys like Premier Sports, then I'm sure the SFA will buy them to broadcast on their YouTube channel or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 What was the last qualifier (not against England or the Serbia play-off) that was on free to view? I seem to remember the 2014 qualification away games being on the BBC?Suppose my follow-up would be what was our last home game not on Sky? I can't remember any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clown Job Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’d love to know how much this mob paid for the rights for our games Id love to know if any Scottish broadcaster attempted to acquire the rights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last home game on free TV was the qualifier vs England in 2017. That was on STV thanks to ITV having the England rights (but it was also on Sky as well). The last home game not on Sky at all…pass. But it’ll almost certainly be the mid-90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Latvia game was live on council telly. The one that got us qualified for WC98. I don't think any of the Euro 2000 qualifiers were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 9 hours ago, NorthernLights said: Scotland fans face Nations League TV blackout as two crucial clashes 'snubbed' by broadcaster Realise it's the Record, so not expecting full accuracy. But not being able to read a basic fixture-list such as this is pretty poor. "Scotland face Armenia in Yerevan on June 8 and Ireland in Dublin on June 11." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 15 hours ago, Satoshi said: It's a rubbish deal but it shouldn't be a surprise that England remain on terrestrial TV, their audience is more than 10x Scotland and more than 5x all the other home nations put together, they will always (rightly) get far more interest. Of course, but I would assume the rights for England games are priced accordingly. No reason that channel 4 or any other public/terrestrial broadcaster presumably would be getting any less 'value' from any other home nations package. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarballs Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Scotland fans face Nations League TV blackout as two crucial clashes 'snubbed' by broadcasterJesus wept, I knew this new TV deal had the waft of Setanta about it but even by our standards this would be a rapid shift from deal done to utter shambles. As [mention=11624]craigkillie[/mention] alluded to, certainly can't rule out the usual pish journalism but we're currently looking at the Daily Record spouting shite or a massive f**k-up from someone in charge of Scottish football. Talk about the toss of a coin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the Belgium away game from the same group on channel 5.Wiki says the away leg of the Euro 2004 play-off against Netherlands was on channel 5 as well.Our stunning victory in the 2006 Kirin Cup was on the BBC IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
