7-2 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 That's a fair point about the Scottish Leagues name. I've very rarely heard it called the Ladbrokes Premiership etc. Compare that to the standing joke about the Barclay's Premier League. It all just helps show what an amateur set up it is and that even Ladbrokes can't be too bothered or they'd have the clubs and media briefed to death about the name, the way Barclay's PR team obviously did in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Barclays probably paid about 400 Billion for the rights in England whilst Ladbrokes shelled out a fiver for the Scottish rights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 On the branding subject, I remember listening to the last day of the season and they were constantly going back to New Douglas Park. Is it / was it not the Superseal Stadium officially? What's the point of superseal investing in Accies if they're just going to be ignored by the media? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Assumed Superseal were having a laugh sponsoring the most open stadium in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the standing joke about the Barclay's Premier League is, but it's worth noting that the English Premier League doesn't have a title sponsor any longer and hasn't done since the end of the season before last. I'm also pretty sure that Sportsound refer to the top level of competition as the Ladbrokes Premiership, William Hill Scottish Cup etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect many pundits are similar. Without looking it up, i couldn't confidently say what meaningless title the league has this week, nor what the new name is for the skol cup. This is not connected to doncaster or reagan other than they're the tits that keep changing it. Can't keep up with the name changes? They've changed about twice in the last 30 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I know it's the tenuous Rangers link. But come on, multiple Scottish clubs are making signings daily. Why not fill the bandwidth with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40384646Celtic: Leigh Griffiths critical of Dave King's 'ludicrous' gulf claims This is a classic example of the utter puerile dross that masquerades as football journalism in Scotland and that we are forced to fund. The lead 'story' in Scottish football for f**k sake. When you think you can't up the level of hatred you have for the Bigots Broadcasting Corporation they come out with toe curling crap like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Someone somewhere has decided we really need to hear from Gregg Wylde about Andy Halliday being left out of Rangers' European squad. And, unsurprisingly, this line crops up: “I would have Andy Halliday in my squad, even if he’s not playing and worth only of a place on the bench. That’s because he’s a Rangers man." Yes, I'm sure if they don't win it's because of the lack of a Rangers man on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
