Paulster1987 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hope it’s bt that go it alone they seem to be only one that give a dam about the game. Would hope we get right good deal. Everyone seems to be saying £40 million a year is a deal that could be tabled. Can’t see that but would be a fantastic deal if so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 BT don't give a f**k. They give that impression because it's in their own interests to do so, but let's not pretend that they care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can't really see a bidding war breaking out, I'd prefer to see it going to one broadcaster rather than two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Sky Sports, who don't even pretend that they couldn't care less. Well aye. But I don't think BT would be willing to stump up what we're getting just now on their own, or even come close. I'd be delighted if I'm wrong about it, but I don't see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely any media outlet will care only as much as the broadcasts are commercially viable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firhill_Basin Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'd quite like Eleven to win them, as I hate indirectly funding the shite that is English football with my subscriptions to those services. I'd cancel Sky and BT immediately. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's the marketing of our game that is letting us down when it comes to the TV deals. We should be selling ourselves as the impoverished, fetid sister-league of England to be roundly mocked at every opportunity. Schedule our games to compete with You've Been Framed on a Sunday afternoon and we could be on to something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd cancel Sky and BT immediately. I'd be happy for Eleven Sports to get it, or at least be serious about bidding for it to help drive the price up. I'd also be happy for BT to get exclusivity, but definitely not Sky, and Facebook & Amazon can get tae feck aswell. Whatever happens, I hope we see an end to the habit of only showing the Old Firm when they're away. Shite for fans of everyone else who actually want to go to these games at 3pm on a Saturday, and kinda pish that Old Firm fans never get their home games moved except when they play each other 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Giving it to Eleven Sports would be a dreadful idea - they're a bunch of cowboys who have already shown a complete lack of regard for football associations in this country. Apart from that, it would be a hugely risky move given that they have absolutely no track record in broadcasting and therefore have a much higher chance of going down the pan . On top of that, they don't even have a TV channel, which would alienate a large number of the people who currently watch our game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I would be shocked if the new deal moved away from showing all of the (don't call it the) Old Firm's away games. BT's coverage is of a higher standard, but I'm a pessimist so I'll say they won't want to spend dolla on us. BT having the Betfred Cup and Premiership with BT and the BBC sharing the Scottish Cup, would be wonderful. I'm sure I recently read something saying that BT went overboard on the Champions League, so I'm a bit worried that we'll have another Setanta situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naegoodinthedark Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Any channel that doesn’t bombard us with ex scum pundits like Sutton, Fat Coisty etc would be nice. Also, free to air, coz I’m a tight b*****d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
