I really wish that Rangers TV would provide coverage of league and Europe as Tyldesley, Thomson, Dodds and McCann are far superior to anything I've seen on Sky or BT.

We need to mount a counter demonstration, lenny must stay

CASH IN SPFL chief Doncaster says Covid-related issues behind delay in clubs receiving share of £1m TV money NEIL DONCASTER has explained coronavirus-related issues are behind the delay clubs receiving a share of last season's TV money. The SPFL have yet to pay out a total amount worth £1m among Scottish sides from the 2019-20 campaign. According to the BBC, this money comes from the final payment from last season's broadcasting deal. However, Hampden chiefs can't pay clubs their share of the money until their accounts are signed off for the year. And speaking on BBC Scotland's Sportsound show this afternoon, SPFL chief Doncaster explained the reasons for the delay. He said: "The accounts for last season need to be signed off. "Like every other aspect of life around the world, Covid has caused some complications and delays. "In terms of Uefa solidarity that's normally paid out in October and November, that's been delayed until probably closer to Christmas. "As soon as we get our accounts signed off, what other fees are due to clubs from last season, we'll be able to pay out any remaining amounts. "But in the scheme of things, £1m is frankly not going to be much of a solution. "The UK government has provided an additional £6.5bn to the Scottish Government to deal with Covid-related harm, and Scottish clubs have seen none of that. Not a penny." After being asked what specifically has caused the delay for signing off the SPFL's accounts, Doncaster explained further: "Like everything else related to Covid, there clearly are complications in terms of getting deals done. "We've had a number of conversations with overseas broadcasters in particular. "Clearly that causes a slight delay to the accounts. "There's no concerns or issue, it's just a question of going through the process which is taking slightly longer than usual." He continued: "The audit committee - which I don't sit on - when they are ready, will present a set of accounts to the board which, I hope, the board will sign off. "Once those accounts are signed off from last season, then any fees due to clubs from last season will be paid out." The SPFL reportedly hope to publish their accounts by the end of next month.

Those five would make a great forward line

clubs should have voted with rangers

Wait a minute, we’re we not told the season had to be cut short and awarded to the bheasts to enable the end of season payments to be made to all the clubs?

Reminder. It's Thursday 26th November, tonight we play a renowned European side with genuine pedigree, Benfica. We have the opportunity of qualifying for the knock out stages of the Europa Cup after four group stage games. Meanwhile, ra Sellik travel to Prague hoping for a miracle. They sit bottom of their Europa Cup group. I watched BBC Scotland's news bulletin at 13.30 hrs, and they reminded viewers of tonight's football and coverage on BBC Radio Scotland. Here's the reminder, both clubs have elderly, infirm, lonely, remotely isolated, and living those lives on fixed incomes. Both sets of supporters pay their license fees, in return receiving a service from BBC Scotland. One grouping is more equal than the other, they will receive, "all the build up and full live commentary from Prague". The other grouping will receive, "updates from Rangers against Benfica". The Gang Hut's usual suspects get to talk sellik and are rewarded with an early night. The naughty step crew(actually, it will be just the one, probably Billy Dodds) will be contained in a studio, watching BT Sports coverage and doing both half-time and full time updates beginning with the phrases, 'we believe' or, 'apparently'. On Sunday, Liam McLeod commentated as live from SKY TV's coverage; obviously, there's a problem for PQ to acknowledge doing the same with BT or Rangers TV? In this country, we do not have a single MSP or MP prepared to highlight how one part of the community is exclusively shafted, again and again. We cannot expect the Gang Hut to acknowledge taking Rangers supporters' license fees and deliberately continuing to supply a much lesser service. Five years and counting, those fees have contributed to their salaries and expenses, they have helped pay their mortgages and school fees for their privately educated children. The departing words of Bill Whiteford appear to have fell on Steve Carson's deaf ears?
