QTV produce all the "streamed" games in the League Cup, to much lower specs than the Premiership games they do, and they use ClubTV comms. What was weird about it, is for some group stage games Buckie vs United, and United vs Stennie they used a neutral commentator in an early round, but not at the Quarter Final stage. A neutral commentary team is a relatively cheap expense - so very surprised that they went down the ClubTV route on Friday. They did the same with Aberdeen vs Spartans too, but RedTV has Rob McLean on comms, so tends to be a bit more neutral in any case.

It wasn't a scheduled matchday - akin to a midweek with postponed games - which again they've gone without punditry before in the past. We actually got more football in Saturday's programme with each game getting more than the usual 8 minutes slot they would get on a "normal" weekend.

Yeah definitely heard it in the ground. Attendances have been wrong for every game so far.

Daily Record buying the rights confirmed.

I like Graham a lot, and I think one day he could get to that level, but he's significantly short of playing against Portugal and Poland. He would be far more adept for a B international - if they were still a thing.

They are showing the Hearts home game, so they definitely won't be doing the second leg. I think it was the staff commitment at the Olympics rather than the kit. They had 10 staff or so over there I think. Plus they've cut back on live broadcast this season apparently.

There's a midweek date next month that is free for Aberdeen to host Killie.

St Mirren played pretty well over the 90 I thought, unlucky to lose it at the end there, completely amazed there wasn't a red card in the game, quite a lot of needle in it. No shame in losing to a Brann side that could qualify for the Champions League.

As mentioned in the Olympic thread, that Scottish actor David McCallum a.k.a. Ducky from NCIS, was a) a musician and b) wrote the famous riff that was sampled by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg for The Next Episode and GTA.

The number of golds may be down but medals in the mid-to-high 60s is exceptionally good - when GB should be having some retrenchment after Beijing, London and Rio. Even then you've had a lot of nearly's and injuries play havoc - Katie Archibald missing out would have been two golds in the Madison and Team Pursuit, Josh Kerr and Hudson-Smith also among those very close to the top step. LA 2028 will probably be a drop back to the 50s in medals haul - which is about normal for GB's size.

They really struggle to turnaround the highlights for the evening kick-offs, was the same when we played Aberdeen a few seasons back but surely clipping the goals and a VAR intervention would be the bare minimum.

Sure you may have seen in the news that Voepass Flight 2283 crashed near Sao Paolo after entering a tail-spin with 62 deaths. Some the videos online show the plane losing control and as it descends rapidly towards the ground. Interestingly, the type of plane was an ATR 72-500, a 75-seater turbo-prop, which is the same plane used by Loganair - albeit 8 of their 12 fleet are the newer variant.

One thing I'll say about Copenhagen is that, if they are so good, why are they in the Conference Leag- *remembers AZ* ah never mind

Twitter is your best bet. The West of Scotland League doesn't have data partners like the SPFL - or even the HL and LL sort of have - so no app can show live scores.
