John Findlay Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That all Scottish top flight games this weekend kick off at 3pm on Saturday afternoon with no game being broadcast By our exclusive broadcaster Sky Television Now call me cynical. But, this wouldnt be because all senior leagues kick off England this weekend? There has hardly been a peep on Sky Sports News this weekend about the six Scottish top flight games this weekend. Maybe it's just me but I thought our sole rights broadcaster would have been pushing them hard. Your exclusive TV deal is shite Mr Doncaster and you bloody well know it.

OTT Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) I'll say it again, we need to take our TV coverage in house. Sky have no interest in promoting our game beyond the OF derby. Invest in bringing in quality people and a real success could be made of it. Monthly sub, all online, mix of club TV and Open Goal to pad out the content plus regular live games. Jobs a good 'un. The quicker Neil Doncaster shuffles off this mortal coil the better tbh. An utter rodent of a 'man'. Has robbed Scottish football blind for the better part of a decade. A weaselly untrustworthy snake lacking any sense of character, decency or morality. Wouldn't know a spine if it hit him in his fat ****ing face. Oh and he looks like a nonce.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 There were non stop Scottish games on Sky in August. When there was no EPL. We are accepting a modestly larger cheque in order to be no more than a schedule filler on Sky. When it’s FA Cup weekend (games on BT and terrestrial) there’ll be a couple of SPFL games. In between there’ll be regular noon on Sunday kick offs of various away games for Selleck and Sevco. At least BT Sport tried to properly promote Scottish football. All they got for their trouble was a bunch of denigrating comments from Doncaster. Proper vision and leadership would look at the total package including the overall promotion of the league. Unfortunately Doncaster/Lawwell only look at cash and couldn’t give a rip about promotion of the League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIEIO Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Not watched a game of football from start to finish since the games were ordered to be played behind closed doors, March I think.

Bull's-eye Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Best league in the world v the worst league in the world. Doncaster had an opportunity to put the SPFL on the map, it's been a small window but the window was there to do something with Scottish Football to show itself in a good light and encourage investment by at least making it watchable. He did nothing and the Shitshow just keeps rolling along. Nobody watches it, Sky knows it's audience and correctly panders to it. Why waste money, time and effort on a broken product.

1971fozzy Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 SPL football so far has been utter dugshite boring. Why would they want to put anything on when the EPL is starting. Scottish top flight fitba is just brutal. Can imagine the viewing figures are in their low thousands after the shite been on show so far. It’s like offering me a pair of rollerskates or a Ferrari.

I'm getting sick of teams trying to emulate Barcelona from a few years back - you know, pass, pass, pass........... pass, pass, pass.... pass, pass pass, back to the keeper, and repeat - fecking tedious! Barcelona got away with it because they're Barcelona and were phenomenal. God forbid anyone that tries to get a cross into the box! ...as for Scottish football - I genuinely can't recall watching a single goal from this seasons Prem. Not interested after the last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross County have been selling their ppv to the minks and made easily six figures. Good business for Ross County then. The JRG have been deliberating for around 5 months. Could they not have helped all of the clubs have a viewing system that would have enabled them all to earn money? Is this just a disorganised rabble of clubs, who are only looking after themselves, instead of the collective good? Hibs have 2 prominent members on this talking shop and have denied themselves income from at least one game this season, by not having a system to enable away fans to watch matches from Easter Road. The money they are missing out on could pay those deferred wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant post match interview. And his expressions during game - he was shouting at his players the whole game. Not sure about the English / Spanish translation.
