alexscottislegend 2,084 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The OF game on Sunday is not scheduled to be on ESPN! We used to moan about Setanta but at least they always showed all the OF clashes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Sky have all the old firm games this season. Pity Martin tyler and Andy Gray cant do the commentating. Its still that Ian Cocker. He must work for every TV company. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,084 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Sky have all the old firm games this season. So none on ESPN? Not all of us have a sky dish! No point in subscribing to Freeview then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 That is a shame because ESPN's coverage has been better so far. More professional and they've shown a real commitment to Scottish football compared to sky who perhaps only bought the SPL rights to potentially increase subscribers for them to pump money into the EPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. Skys coverage has been excellent! The SPL round-up show is shown on Monday nights and shown again sometime on Tuesday. Plus, Scott Booth has been employed by ESPN. Another reason not to subscribe to them. Not all English fans are interested in the Old Firm and even less in the SPL but they've realised that there Scottish customers need to watch the games somewhere. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last line is a theory i've read but don't really subscribe to. Watching sky on match days though, it is a hald assed effort. 1 pundit who may or may not be a muppet. Ali Douglas who is a woeful presenter. Embarrassing, cringeworthy, stereotypical "diddly dee" type music in the programme introduction. That terrible advert with fans in club colours calling out there teams name. The guys ESPN put in the studio are far superior. And they're also not scrimping on costs by only having one pundit. I do admit though, that is all offset by hiring that cunt Scott Booth. :devil: Ps. English fans may not be interested in Scottish football. So what, fuck them. Sky should still be making the effort to make quality programmes for Scottish fans whose money they are taking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More often than not "British" TV companies forget about Scotland, Wales and NI and think the news revolves around England. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
