Really poor. When I was checking scores last night the Hamilton v Inverness game was way down the list. I don't have a problem with having the women's English premier league games quite high up as the women's game is growing. But above the playoff game was Sudan v Tanzania international friendly. Ok, there might be people from these places or with ties to those countries in the UK, but seemed strange to have an international friendly with two teams from another continent higher up the bill than Hamilton and Inverness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Quote When asked if the court decision goes against Baycup if that impact it would have on him, Martindale replied: “Yeah I think so, yeah.” Again on the BBC… Who the hell came up with that sentence? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I'd hate to come across all SPFL Media watch but is the whole point of the bottom 6 games being at same time on a Sunday not so they can be broadcast? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. They could have been 3pm yesterday and still broadcast. The top and bottom 6 have finished on different days since 2002/03, except for 2007/08 when the final fixtures were spread around for some reason. Once Sky decided they wanted the top 6 on Saturday, the bottom 6 was destined for the Sunday. But today’s two important games should definitely be on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) I realise I am just repeating what everyone knows, but the scale in which the Daily Record panders to the old firm is quite frankly disgusting. I accidentally clicked a link that took me to their "football section", I am not going to link to it (let's not give them any extra traffic) instead I have a screenshot. It's large (madam), so that's why it's a link and not embedded into this post.. Daily Record - Sunday 19/05 (Imgur, resized) // Daily Record - Sunday 19/05 (Postimage, you can zoom to full size) Putting aside the fact they have an odd choice of club crests at the top of the page. Sure, the 12 Premiership teams, plus Scotland, fine.. but also Dundee United, Partick Thistle and ... Hamilton? Are they just there because that's the only crests DR have in their assets folder? Anyway, let's look at all the stories, which by my count is 68 (so close to being a nice number which would be the only redeeming feature here) and which club they are associated with. You always expect the OF the dominate, but going through the stories I can only find 13 stories that do not either directly relate to the OF. Of those 13, two are repeated both being related to a Hearts player (of those, only one doesn't involve the OF - the piece about Tagawa - while the second repeated story was about Shankland but the headline mentioned Celtic so a bit of a mixed bag), so we are down to 11 simply due to them being duplicates, while 4 are not about football at all. 3 are about boxing, and one is about a random attack on a man at a bus stop that (if you read the article) has nothing to do with football, but is listed within the Celtic FC 'section'. Leaving seven out of 68 that don't have some reference to the OF in the headline. Of these seven, six are buried at the bottom of the page, in sections labelled Hearts FC and Aberdeen FC. In the Hearts FC 'section' 3 of the 5 are about Rangers as well as that repeated story (so one original story out of five?). While in the Aberdeen FC 'section' the main story is about Martindale and not about Aberdeen at all, although at least the other 4 side stories are actually about Aberdeen (sort of, one is about Dhanda' last game, so County, but the game is against Aberdeen, so maybe a pass mark). I know that the record is a piece of shit, troll paper, peddling in 'fear and anger' porn, as that is the clickbait lure in modern media, but for their football section they have approximately 90% of the articles being old firm related (could be a little more or a little less dependent on how you count the OF references, while ignoring 75% of the teams in the Premiership, and absolutely nothing in relation to the Championship or below. But, Ric, we all know this, why bother pointing it out? No reason other than I happened to click on the wrong link and was still astounded by their sycophancy. Yes, I could go to the PDE (Paisley Daily Express, which is nothing more than a satellite site for the record) if I wanted to read about my own team, but that's not the point.

kingjoey Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 This is apparently one of the top stories in Scottish football this morning. Ipswich captain Sam Morsy, who led his side back to the Premier League last season, has been spotted wearing a Celtic top in a post-season training session in Dubai. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorOnopko Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 This popped up, uninvited, on my Facebook feed. Never mind that everyone in Scottish football remembers Niemi from his years at Hearts, not as a Rangers bit-part back up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
