This BBC Friday night Championship deal is now in its third season - Falkirk featured on it more than once when you were still in the Championship. Then can you please remind me what the issue was with the Championship not being televised once Sevco were promoted? As I said, I can't remember, but I do remember there being some lame excuse at the time. I've never had BT sport and cancelled my Sky sports deal a good few years ago so I'm pretty sure that it was the BBC that was involved at the time. Also, is the BBC deal that exists now solely on the new BBC Scotland channel? If that's the case then that channel emerged after the Sevco promotion I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was highlights the BBC had, on the website and Sportscene. They were "selected" highlights but by a mindblowing coincidence one team's matches got selected every week... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the new channel, which is what I thought. I'm sure BBC televised Sevco games right the way through their time in the lower leagues then canned that coverage once they were promoted with, as I say, some weak excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC stopped coverage from Ibrox, and in general same day coverage, in August 2016 over Sevco banning a reporter for “biased” reporting of an outside the match incident during a Sevco v Hibs cup tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDD Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 The Sportscene highlights programme covered Rangers games as well as the topflight games for the two seasons they spent in that league. They then stopped doing that after they gained promotion to the top tier. I think that's what @ShaggerG is referring to. The BBC Scotland channel might well cover some League 1 games; prior to the lockdown, the Falkirk V Airdrie fixture ( aka Airdrie's unbeaten record V Falkirk: Part 4) in April was going to be broadcast on the Saturday evening. I reckon they'll likely cover a couple later in the season Thistle/Falkirk/Airdrie/Cove games, dependent on how the title race is going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Honestly I don't think they even proffered one. Didn't feel they had to, I guess. Make of that what you will. Didn't it tie in with the commentary moving to live rather than dubbed and the two camera format rather than having one camera at some games? I think that was one excuse, saying that they couldn't spread the available resources across all the games (Rangers home games were filmed by Rangers TV with multiple cameras anyway so they already had the footage or something)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily take a young keeper on loan like Ferrie last season over Sam Ramsbottom but I’m guessing with him not being on the bench as a trialist he’s not coming in. Noticed that Stenny had Calum Erskine on trial Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Miller said he wanted a GK and one other possibly before the Killie game. He also said there was no more trialists with us now, so maybe looking into it too much (or getting too excited), but could that mean we may see Kingsley sign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
