Pitch looking good out the window of the Sky studio.

Seems fine aye?
This is from today's game.
Aberdeen desperately trying to pretend they're good enough to mix with elite top 6 clubs like Dundee.

That’s an example of VAR working well.
But how the referee didn’t see that in real time is baffling.

Why is league 2 outside the blackout period today? @The Master
No more blackouts this season in England, but there still is in Scotland so technically Colchester v Crewe should have been blocked up here.

Any reason why there's no OAM today when they have reporters at the various games? Just can't be bothered talking about football when there's no Celtic or Rangers games today?
Normally they don't bother with a commentary game when neither Celtic nor Rangers are playing.
Not sure why they decided there should be two commentaries and no OAM this week.

Another Dundee home game on Sky, another wrong background image.

Speaking of next season, a very minor change I'd like to see is the draw numbers from the 5th round onwards being the order the ties were drawn in the previous round.
So if the first tie out in R4 is Dundee v Dundee Utd, the winner is number 1 in the R5 draw; if the second tie out in R4 is Hearts v Hibs, the winner is number 2 in the R5 draw and so on.
In the grand scheme of things, it makes little difference but it does make a true "what if" possible all the way to the final.

I almost feel this should come with a warning. It really is scary seeing behind the curtain. The lengths they are going to to desperately find something wrong at every opportunity, regardless of how ridiculously small the margins are.
Are you watching the same video?
For the offside check, the on-field decision was offside. Yes it was close, but the alternative to the close check is having VAR overrule an on-field decision based on "well it looks onside" - which strikes me as contrary to the position you're arguing.
For the penalty, there was no "find[ing] something wrong". It was a clear penalty and red card. The subsequent check of the attacking phase of play was, again, to ensure VAR wasn't trying to do something it shouldn't.
I think there's lots of things wrong with VAR, but there's very little wrong with that video. Yes it took a while, but that's because there was a lot happened, and ultimately they arrived at the correct decision. And not a "toenail offside" correct decision - it was very obviously the right outcome.

How many cameras do sky use when they cover a Scottish game? Must be less than half that.
They had 13 cameras at Dens last week, including the 2 fixed goal-line cameras and the steadicam.
I think you’d struggle to find 30 unique camera positions in most Scottish grounds.

The Daily Record regurgitating the nonsense about last season's Scottish Cup Final being shown UK-wide on the BBC.
QuoteThe BBC hold the rights to both finals which poses an obvious scheduling headache and last year, the SFA got around that by moving the Inverness vs Celtic final to a 5.30 kick-off to allow both finals to be shown live UK-wide.
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/celtic-vs-rangers-scottish-cup-32648355
While it technically was, due to availability of BBC One Scotland and BBC Scotland on the iPlayer and cable/satellite in rUK, the clear implication is that it was on BBC One everywhere.

I’m pretty sure it is possible for two people to be perfectly in line, but it only applies to spherical players in a vacuum.

I can remember the outcry from the last KO change but did the sfa say they would go back to 3 now?
They announced a 3pm kick-off for the final after the semi-final draw.

What odds on the SFA rolling back on their previous commitment, and making this a noon kick-off when the FA Cup final is announced for 3pm?

I can't believe it's a couple of years shy of 20 years since this was first broadcast, and that you're avoiding spoilers because there's people on here who are too young to remember it first time round (if they were even born). 20 years ago should be something from the 80s. Jeez, I'm getting old.
Brilliant series, though. The sequel, Ashes to Ashes, isn't bad either, and does a good job of explaining things.

With it being a Manchester derby again, it’s likely the final will kick off at 3pm.
Pray for the SFA, with them having already confirmed the Scottish Cup Final for the same time.

OLD FIRM FINAL ? All going to plan. FFS . The corruption is in plain sight
The SFA in bed with Viaplay /Viaplan £ £ £ .....................
It’s the first “Old Firm Final” since 2002.
And if it was about keeping Premier Sports happy (not Viaplay anymore), and you believe there is corruption, it would be orchestrated for them to meet in the semi-finals.
