invergowrie arab Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I'm fine with companies paying for rights then not bothering to show games and for them to be played at 3pm on a Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttocks Brown Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Currently £99 for 12 months of Premier Sports if you pay up front. Subscribing next Tuesday would take you until 11.6.25 for: All 6 of Scotland's Nation League games in the autumn The first 4 of Scotland's World Cup qualifier games next year Any Scotland friendlies Scottish league cup Scottish cup 20 Scottish Premiership games La Liga German Cup Italian Cup Copa America (if you're a night owl) It's actually not a bad deal, certainly compared to Sky Sports and TNT. They may well bump up the prices shortly though. Edited June 5 by Buttocks Brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll mostly be games like Killie vs Hearts, Aberdeen vs Hibs, St Johnstone vs United that are included. St Johnstone against anyone, please no. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Gandosaur Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Any idea what timeslot they will use? Sky's almost exclusive graveyard slot of 12.00 Sunday is awful for fans (Although I don't mind it living abroad). More Saturday 5.30 kick offs would be good though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because we will lose, the chances of that are slim(unless the refs get involved) more because of the turgid shite Aberdeen call football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You surely can't dispute it though? We may be two shite football teams and the games are mostly brutal but it takes two to make a game, sadly every Aberdeen game is the same imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcinnes leaned into matching up to Tommy Wright because you kept getting the better of us and bullying us in games, that was the beginning of these fixtures becoming utterly unwatchable. Remember a season opener at mcdiarmid that was 0-0 and absolutely horrible. I think since that we’ve both just been terrible tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That season we won 5-1 at Pittodrie & 3-0 at McDiarmid ( there was a 4-3 Aberdeen won too) McInnes stopped that & been an average of about 1 goal a game since.

There was a 1-1 at mcdiarmid when Rooney scored a screamer but in reality you should’ve comfortably beat us. Think it was Steven Maclean was bullying us all night. All these games led him to change our style when we played you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 5-1 was ridiculous. Easton (I think) scored an absolute screamer. Everything St Johnstone put on goal seemed to go in. We had balls literally rolling along the goal line with nobody to tap them in. Couldn't even walk away from it angry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckets Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I can only see this new deal as a big positive. If it's true it doesn't include Celtic and Rangers home games then that's even better. A great chance to showcase the league. It should mean any Edinburgh Derbies not picked up by Sky will be on TV as well as the other 2/3 Dundee Derbies. But outside of that I think there is plenty of attractive gamese. Hearts v Aberdeen, Hibs v Aberdeen, Dundee United v Aberdeen obvious ones but even ordinary games like St Mirren v Kilmarnock, or Motherwell v Hearts would get plenty of interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already picked Dundee vs Hearts as their opener on MD2, so that'll give you an idea of what they're going for. It's only two games per ground they have so they'll need to be cute with picks at Tannadice, Dens, ER and Tynecastle. Notably Sky have already selected two Dundee Derbies - so there's only one left for Premier to go for on the 15th March - which they'll go for as its the same weekend as an Old Firm clash. I The first Edinburgh Derby is on 26th/27th October - which is a non-FA Cup weekend with Motherwell vs Celtic on as well, so it could be a toss-up for Sky as to which one they go for (Sky probably only have space for one SPFL match most weekends this season). It's also a European midweek so the Derby will be a Sunday in any case. It's also the weekend of Aberdeen vs United too - so all three could be televised if Sky use their imagination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 On 05/06/2024 at 15:35, Ray Patterson said: The way it should work next season is that Sky have to show 42 games minimum but have the rights to 60, which is five matches per each ground (plus an extra one at Celtic Park for Flag Day) and Premier have an additional 20 games that are two matches at the ten diddy grounds. So looking at the first few games of last season expect something like Reveal hidden contents MD1: Sat 5 Aug 12:30 Celtic vs Ross County - Sky Sat 5 Aug 15:00 Dundee vs Motherwell - Sat 5 Aug 15:00 Livingston vs Aberdeen Sat 5 Aug 15:00 St Johnstone vs Hearts Sat 5 Aug 17:15 Kilmarnock vs Rangers - Sky Sun 6 Aug 15:00 Hibernian vs St Mirren MD2: Sat 12 Aug 15:00 Hearts vs Kilmarnock Sat 12 Aug 15:00 Rangers vs Livingston Sat 12 Aug 15:00 Ross County vs St Johnstone Sat 12 Aug 15:00 St Mirren vs Dundee Sat 12 Aug 17:30 Motherwell vs Hibernian - Premier Sun 13 Aug 12:00 Aberdeen vs Celtic - Sky MD3: Sat 26 Aug 12:00 Ross County vs Rangers - Sky Sat 26 Aug 15:00 Celtic vs St Johnstone Sat 26 Aug 15:00 Hibernian vs Livingston Sat 26 Aug 15:00 Motherwell vs Kilmarnock Sun 27 Aug 14:00 St Mirren vs Aberdeen - Premier Sun 27 Aug 15:00 Dundee vs Hearts It's only 20 games, but that added with the extra Sky games (if they can be arsed to use them) should mean we'll get two games each week on the TV, and certainly not a repeat of the last few years when there's been some weeks with no matches. Every day is Flag Day at Celtic Park. Just not our flag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 This is something new: https://spfl.co.uk/news/more-matches-on-premier-sports 30 of the League Cup group matches will be shown on Premier Sports (25 streamed). 6 streaming at the same time a week on Saturday. How's that going to work then? Using club streams with club commentators? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
