Just looked it up.

Danish top league get £37M.

Scottish Premiership get £25M.

Unsure of the relevance of the Danish top league here though. Swedish top league get £39.4M incidentally.

Fair point 🤣🤣

Playing the way Robson sets us up, we really have to score first or we have to do so much running and leave enormous gaps chasing the game.

It's times like this that you might question the wisdom of completely freezing out one of our most talented attacking players (Besuijen).

Its fucking genuinely unreal how far behind we are in the TV money stakes. I'd like to see how the TV deal ranks with other countries around us in the coefficient given we're 9th, Denmark 17th and Sweden 23rd.

They're all Scandinavian...

The first goal is just a wonder strike from Sadiq.

The second goal was completely against the run of play but it starts with Miovski feigning injury and taking the sting out of Aberdeens attack. If he hadn't he'd have probably had a free header.

Going to take some real heroics to turn this one around.

I'm obviously in a minority of one, but I've been quite pleased with Aberdeen.  Their front three have looked proper quality and the second goal was a joy to watch.

We're chasing the game so are going to be vulnerable when we lose possession.

If we play with anything like this intensity for the rest of the year, we'll be OK.

Aberdeen midfield are all over the place.

No structure or positional discipline when Hacken have the ball. Shinnie just running about like a headless chicken leaving massive gaps.

That's what can happen playing in a 3-5-2, especially against a side like Hacken. Pin the wing-backs and stretch the midfield three - it's a tale as old as time. Aberdeen have been good, but, despite the contrast in styles, it's really just come down to a difference in quality in front of goal.

I think the big difference is how little of our games make it to live TV. The downside of keeping to the 15:00 on a Saturday model (which I wouldn’t want changed tbh).

Pretty sure the reason why those leagues have a larger TV deal is because they televise many more games as part of that deal. Which has a knock-on consequence for attendances at the gate. Scottish football can't have its cake and eat it as well.
