Man from the East Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 13 hours ago, FuzzyBear said: Very disappointing crowd at Tranent. Thought it would be double that. Wonder what could possibly be affecting that number? TJFC have previously been recording some fantastic league game crowds. Then it drops suddenly for the Scottish Cup. it’s a confusing one - isn’t it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Think our game could well get picked but have no desire to see it getting moved to a Friday or Monday night. In the unlikely event both ourselves and Raith meet in the play-offs, we’ll have played each other EIGHT times this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 6 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: How many TV games are there? Thought it was just 1 BBC pick for rounds 1 to 3 but folk have been talking as if there will be 2 or more? 6 hours ago, Ray Patterson said: It's one TV game from Rounds 1 to 3, but the BBC have shown a second in previous years but that's usually been down to Covid or something. The contract is 8, including the final, for Viaplay and 11, including the final, for BBC. That’s 18 total games…1 Final, 2 Semis, 4 Quarters, plus the single Rd 1 and 2 games already…that’s 9 done. Rds 3, 4 and 5 thus share 9 more games. While 4 games each in rounds 4 and 5 are possible, I’d expect more than one Rd 3 game to be broadcast. The Aberdeen vs Rangers game on the 26th is scheduled, so any games would be likely be broadcast on the Friday, Saturday or Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 They BBC should (and will) pick either the Dunbar or Tranent matches. Dunfermline v Raith Rovers is the blandest tie imaginable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not least because one semi-final needs to be double-counted. The BBC’s 11 is made up of two per round from 4-6 (six games), one semi-final, and one final, leaving one per round from 1-3. Viaplay also have 9, not 8. Two per round from 4-6, two semi-finals, and the final. Edited October 30, 2023 by The Master 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling before the draw that if we had an away tie against more or less anyone it was likely to be the tv game, but there are a couple of more attractive options I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaKnollBoy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hopefully a game that we can win and progress to the next round. SP doesn't generally take the Scottish Cup too seriously judging by our most recent performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote From season 2019-20, BBC Scotland will also showcase one live match in Rounds 1 to 3 ensuring high quality coverage throughout the competition. Supporters will be able to watch four live matches in Rounds 4 to 6, with both broadcasters each screening two live games per round on an exclusive basis. In the later stages of the tournament, Premier Sports will broadcast one semi-final exclusively while the other semi-final and the final will be shown across both channels. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/scottish-fa-announce-scottish-cup-broadcasting-deals/ Edit: obviously all mentions of “Premier Sports” now mean “Viaplay”.

Chapelhall chap Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Long road to Stranraer but we have a good recent record over them Better than meeting another team from the same league, and it's years since I could say that. No chance of it being on TV . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even attractive for fans of the clubs involved. ^^^ shiting it already. As someone who has to watch all the games on TV I hope our game gets covered to give me a break from the DUTV commentary team.
