Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 If one's on in the boozer pre or post match, I'll glance around as often as I will a SKY TV League match. Infrequently and mostly out of morbid curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterion Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yes - will watch the highlights shows most weeks. The whole "SPL is rubbish" patter sounds like Rangers fan dans - the SPL will still have some decent games in it despite Hearts and Hibs dropping down this year.

Don Dan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Unlikely mainly because the outcome will be Celtic by a country mile. I may show an interest nearer the ends when it's play off time if it has a concern for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Am I right in saying that BBC ALBA have exclusive rights to the championship? if so they must be rubbing their hands. BT Sport chief. There'll be more interest in the championship matches next year as Cellick will run away with the league again, rendering most games pointless. With Rangers relative poorness (in comparison to years gone by) and the 3rd and 4th biggest supported clubs in the country in the championship next season, all looks like being a decent prospect which should hopefully mean a good few quid filtering their way down to the Cowdenbeaths/Alloas/Dumbartons of the championship. I'd place a bet the biggest domestic scottish fixture for TV this season will be the Edinburgh derby, unless the Bigots draw each other in a cup match!

Gregory House M.D. Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Dundee "derby" is a crock of shite. Won't watch a single game, not because Hearts aren't there bit because it'll be utterly dreadful and is populated nearly entirely by diddies.

tartofmidlothian Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 No, but I'll no doubt keep an eye on the results. Hoping SPH stays up. Not fussed about who goes down, although funny if it was Aberdeen. I hope the second worst team in the league are as bad as the worst, just in case we end up playing them.

i8hibsh Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 You could ask the same thing about English games. I still like watching it as it is a ritual with me and my mates - sessions in the boozer etc but the World cup showed the EPL up for what it is. And that is by some distance not the best league in the world. I mean how many EPL (not just english but all EPL) players stood out in the WC? How many EPL players in the last rounds of the WC? very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 If there's games on on a Sunday there's every chance I'll give them a watch, same way I'd probably watch English games.

Sepp's Bladder Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 will maybe pay more attention towards the end of the season to scout the potential play-off team but apart from that no. tbh i only really watch hearts and Scottish teams in Europe.

punkrockcroc Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 What's the point it won't concern Hearts and before anybody says 'it could if we finish 2nd'' well I don't think so and fully expect us to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiepolio Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I barely even noticed the top half of the table last season, so will have zero interest this season. The championship is where it's at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Definitely be watching the Premier as well. Not with any great interest, other half is a sheep so would imagine she will be glued to Sportscene. It still has relevance as is in who we might play in cups, players we may sign, importantly who Rangers will play in a play off. Like some others though, if Hearts had ceased I doubt I would ever have watched a Scottish match again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 How many EPL players in the last rounds of the WC? very few. From countries reaching at least the 1/4 finals there were 37 EPL players by my count, with 6 in the Final. Not too bad considering! Ozil, Mertesacker, Podolski, Schurrle, Joel Campbell, Vlaar, Van Persie, Krul, Worm, De Guzman, Hazard, Courtois*, Lukaku, Mirallas, Fellaini, Januzaj, Chadli, Dembele, Vertonghen, Paulinho, Luiz**, Oscar, Ramires, Willian, Fernadinho, Sahko, Evra**, Lloris, Debauchy, Sissoko, Remy, Koscielny, Giroud, Schneiderlin, Aguerro, Zabaleta, Demichelis! *will be next season and owned by Chelsea ** know they are moving away from the EPL for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelgeJambo Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is almost no chance of any game outwith Celtic being involved, reaching 10K crowd, so no atmosphere in the SPFL.

sandyk Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'll tune in every now and again, depends when its on. Sheep v Arabs matches are usually worth catching and the Dundee Derby will be worth a look in.

Optimus Prime Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Don't get this if it doesn't involve Hearts them I'm not interested patter. Yes i'll watch some games, probably a little less because the team i support doesn't play in that particular league anymore. However I'll still watch it, read about it and keep tabs on it the same way i would with the EPL, English Championship, Champions League, Serie A, Bundesliga etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Parmesan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Dundee derbies, the odd interesting game with the likes of Aberdeen and Motherwell. Occasionally if someone has a chance of doing something against Celtic. So, in short, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM1874 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Bbc alba has the 'live' rights to 16 championship games this season This includes/excludes: NO Rangers games at all Home/Away* A maximum of 2 visits to a stadium per season And IIRC games are to be on a friday night No single edinburgh derby *this is obviously league only hence why the petrofac cup is on the channel So figuratively we could see games vs alloa / qots / falkirk / raith / cowdenbeath / livi or dumbarton moved to a friday night either home or away should they decide. As could Hi** obviously but its a possibility As happy as i am with hearts being on tv, i hope its not many home games / qots away Sneaking suspicion either Livi away or dumbarton away will ge moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
