Do you seriously not think that, as well as the quality, a big part of why Scottish people care so much about English football is due to English coverage relentlessly being beamed to Scotland?
That they shouldn’t be defacto English stations. I don’t think anyone is contesting that they are.
Why are you struggling so much to grasp that?
And why are you being such a condescending w**k?
The internet is full of “soccer” fans who have no issue with that goal being ruled out because it’s “technically right”. These are the c***s the Barclays clubs are pandering to these days. Someone shoot me.
When it’s that close there’s no possible way you can be sure you’ve paused it at the right frame and got the lines exactly right. It’s fucking maddening that this shit is allowed.
And similarly they have their own regional channels down south.
They’re a broadcaster for the whole of the U.K. You’d think that a national cup semi final with 6 goals and 50,000 people at it might get more than a two second mention on the sports bulletin.
As I said above it really shouldn’t be. But they’ve set a precedent for giving those decisions this season.
I think if folk took the anti-OF goggles off for a minute they’d concede that they don’t actually think something like that should be a handball.
The Footballing Associations can decide what they want tbh. John Terry was found guilty by the FA after being found not guilty in court. The burden of proof isn’t the same.
