ritchies75 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Ok not a phrase you hear often on Kickback but in choosing their live CIS third round tie they have ignored the old firm and chosen Ross County V Dundee Utd. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_cups/8964729.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 With them both being at home I'd have been stunned if they showed their matches. Thought it would be a toss-up between our game and that one. Not too surprised it's County - Utd as it's a repeat of the cup final. We shouldn't really be congratulating them though, this should be the way it always is with the most attractive tie being shown, not the Old Firm regardless.

Spot on, that's the only reason this game is being shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Sifter Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 If either the blue division or the green division of OF FC had been playing away, the BBC wouldn't have pished on RC v DU. Credit where credits due...and there's none due here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where credits due...and there's none due here. I Disagree. I would rather watch celtic v ict an all prem clash with a chance of an upset. ICT have knocked celtic out the cups twice in the 2000s. The bbc have shown old firm home games before (like our 2 wins v celtic) but this time they clearly want to see how ross county do in a rematch v united Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, happy with the bbc to give ross county more air time after they beat the tims last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 A wee bit of cynicism here perhaps but does their contract allow them to show OF games in EVERY round of the competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EreWeG0.. Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 They are taking a risk in case one of them gets knocked out unexpectedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
