microdave Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Can we make it five wins from the first five for the first time in the club's history? Will Elgin get their first win of the season? While they have yet to win, Elgin have only lost once so I'm expecting them to be tough opponents and I'm certainly not going along expecting them to be cannon fodder. Discuss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I couldn’t get a ticket for this after our blistering start, so am having to settle for Chelsea v Leicester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarko_son Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Hope we can just ignore last nights result and go back to the same team we've been using in previous weeks as well assuming no-ones injured and McLean is still out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Now that the nonsense is over, I'm looking forward to getting back to league business. Elgin the latest lambs to the slaughter and will be soundly beaten, just as my footman is whenever he fails to open my carriage door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanandler Bong Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 This will be an acid test to see how the team reacts and how they’ve been affected by the cup charade midweek. Hopefully there’s no hangover and the players can get fully focused on this game, given that it really matters and that silly wee cup has no importance whatsoever. This won’t be easy as no game has been so far but given our league start we should go into this with a lot of confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamCarson Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Not saying we are going to win, but the players feed off of positivity, go there, bring a friend and get behind the team. Runs like this don't come along often, let's help the boys on the park. I know we had a good start last year etc...but it's a different league, different days.

Its a good thing Rangers won last night ( NO, BIG TEAM NOT FOUND)as it will distract from all the Ally Love hatred and nonsense.Ally needs to put that behind him and turn up with a clear head for Saturday.It will be extremely difficult to win again especially with a side that has kane hester in their ranks.We are capable of winning it but I expect a really tricky afternoon.In this league anyone can beat anyone.Not many would have forseen AR beating BR last week so lets not be complacent or cocky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Is £15 not a bit high for an automated camera stream? Jan and Chris are fantastic and if we were paying them for their services I could understand the price but surely with UK streaming gone the "set it high to encourage folk to attend" excuse is gone with it? Basically charging people in other countries full entry price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was worth every penny just to see the Crags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 no Maclean again tomorrow - might be wrong but wasnt he down for a late fitness test before Albion? Suggesting he wasn't far off? Hope he hasn't had a set back. On his game I think he could be the best player in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to put money on it that there will be more people in the UK taking the stream than there will be in the rest of the world 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is that technology available then the club could use that to limit the number in the UK streaming while also offering a fair price to those abroad. I'm not sure "well if some are going to watch it here we might as well charge everyone the same price" is a very good justification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 So we’ve now announced you can only watch a stream abroad if you have a monthly or yearly subscription (both of which are pretty terribly priced for a Pixelott stream). The rules have clearly changed from pre pandemic where you could tune into an overseas stream for a one off payment for that particular game - most of which were priced between a fiver and 7 quid. What a joke! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke! Who in Scottish football streamed matches pre-pandemic other than the old firm, who did so on a subscription rather than PPV basis and who geo-blocked to UK IP addresses? Where were these pre-pandemic fiver streams? Edited August 26, 2022 by BallochSonsFan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were these pre-pandemic fiver streams? Numerous clubs in the lower leagues offered a stream pre pandemic. I spent many a Saturday unable to attend away games watching a stream of us playing away from home. Some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head are Raith, Falkirk, Dunfermline, Partick, East Fife. I’m sure there were more than a few others as well. The Falkirk stream was 7 quid and I’m fairly sure I’ve watched a couple of Raith ones that were a fiver. Do you think I’m talking shite or something? Why the hell would I make that up? edit to add: all of the above plus a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head offered streams for overseas viewers you could purchase with a one of payment. None of them were ever more expensive than a tenner with the majority a good bit cheaper. This wasn’t even just a recent thing, I’ve been tuning into these streams for years.
