Shows how much I pay attention to shite clubs in the English lower divisions That's me literally just discovering that, though the last time I paid even the slightest bit of attention to Barnet they had Edgar Davids as a player/manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Glamour friendlies" announced within a week of a winter break being accepted. Covered by the same TV Companies that will have no Premier League action to show for those 2/3 weeks. Off-topic but - this. If FA agree to make the FA Cup straight knockout and played midweek to free-up dates for a winter break "to help England" it will in practice be filled with Asian/American "money-spinning friendlies". Incidentally comparisons with Spain and Portugal are somewhat "Terrible Journalism" - they stop for just 1 weekend, for cultural reasons. Italy has no break at all.

Spectacular. It's fantastic. Even the most basic of searches would have corrected this. And let's be honest, he's had to look it up to get the correct spelling of "Tzu", and managed to miss it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Really starting to do my nut im hearing pundits talking about a lack of confidence for a striker missing easy chances. Its generally more to do with absolutely piss poor technique or shocking decision making. But that would involve them having to explain it, so "confidence" it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crilly Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 A cracking bit of reporting on the STV Glasgow news tonight. In the 20 second summary of our cup win over Dundee it only showed Tom Aldred's controversial chalked off goal but the voiceover referred to Craig Tanner's opener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 A BBC article solely about Tierney's last-gasp tackle in the cup game against Thistle was accompanied by a video that didn't even show it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quoting some 'expert' who compares Scotland to Denmark and reckons they get £50M a year from TV while we only get £21M because Denmark isn't "next to England" and "at least it's competitive". He seems to be unaware it is, however, next to Germany and their £50M gets every single game on TV (we actually get more per game). He also seems to be unaware that Danish football is shown on national broadcasters rather than a filler item on German TV. He further explains that the Scots Prem attracts audiences only a tenth of the EPL (from a country with approximately a tenth of the English population, this is astounding). It is also astounding that he believes Celtic would try and scupper a better domestic TV deal because it suits their agenda. For one thing they couldn't and for another unless the TV deal was multiplied to £100M and spread out evenly among the 12 it isn't going to affect their dominance materially. And even then it wouldn't really. It is, not to put too fine a point on it, pish. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) It's also worth adding that in addition to showing every top tier game the Danish deal includes playoffs, tier 2, Danish Cup and womens football (IIRC), so comparing apples with oranges figures-wise.
