craigkillie Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They have a few games in their pocket still to use so they're presumably waiting to see which games have things riding on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I hear Celtic are playing Rangers sometime. Must be in with a shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They've used 39 before the split and have two scheduled in all already, so they'll wait before announcing their last seven games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see how many play-off games they show - BT rarely showed the semis, and only showed the quarters once, which was when Rangers were in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure the only time BT didn’t show the semis was the first year when they only had the final on. The following year they showed all the rounds( Rangers in the quarters), then after that they showed both the semis and final. Hopefully Sky will do the same 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.V.T. Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 They have a few games in their pocket still to use so they're presumably waiting to see which games have things riding on them.Understandably for the last day but you would have thought they’d have selections for the first two rounds of fixtures by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Sky will do the same The first season in 2013-14, the Final First-leg was on Sky and Second leg was on BT. Then BT went and bought exclusive rights to the POs from the 2014-15 onwards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No tv Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 They still haven't announced any more fixtures is there a distinct possibility they are the only two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I think they've shown 39 games so far, which means 9 more to show. They've already selected 2, which brings that down to 7. They'll be obviously looking to cover the relegation battle and the European places on the last weekend, which could mean anything from 2-4 additional matches (on top of Rangers v Aberdeen) depending on how things pan out, so I'm guessing they're waiting until after these midweek fixtures are done to get a better idea of how to schedule it. They wouldn't want to overcommit and then not be able to show Hibs' game on the final day if it mattered, for example.

Suspect they’ll cover our game at ibrox for “trophy day”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Surprised Aberdeen vs Celtic isn’t on Sky. Must be the first time in years that that fixture hasn’t been televised. Could’ve been a good money spinner for the club, although I don’t think many Celtic fans will bother watching it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen get no money from being a sky pick but by not being a sky pick they'll be able to sell PPV to aberdeen and die-hard celtic fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 When Sky and BT had a joint deal there were more televised games. BT in particular would usually have a glut of games at the end of the season as they also broadcast the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
