Jim1955 12 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can the time between actual kick off and the TV broadcast not be staggered? I don't mind watching say 45mins behind/ I've watched EPL games in Belfast, albeit broadcast on RTE, with such a time delay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 the ban only applies to the UK. rte is irish. watching them in bfast is illegal. I've watched rangers games in Hamilton illegally. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim1955 12 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) it may have been illegal but it was 20 years ago. In fact the best April !st spoof I can remember was the Belfast Telegraph suggesting that RTE detector vans would shortly be operating in Belfast.

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've no link to any reference about that, but it has been like that for years, hence all the crazy KO times. It mainly applies to Saturdays though, and UEFA don't like any of the major leagues showing games when their competitions are on. Remember the fuss created when Liverpool, I think played a game during one of the Euro ties, but they didn't seem to be punished in any way. If we were to subscribe to a Rangers TV like thing, surely would that not count as a private matter. I've only ever seen Rangers games at 3pm on a Saturday online, but can you subscribe to Rangers TV and watch it on your TV. Other than buying the cables to transfer the pictures, I don't think you can get it on normal broadcast TV!!!???? I think what you are refering to is that in Scotland and probably the UK as a whole there has been a rule for as long as I can remember that you could not televise a match in opposition to a live game. That may well have been reversed to an extent these days where television holds sway. I think you are correct that UEFA do not allow matches to be televised in opposition to CL or EL games but I'm fairly sure you could play if you wanted to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not while games are being played competively, as far as I understand. I certainly can't remember any statement to the contrary. Still, we're not going to be part of the commercial channels broadcasting our games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 BBC Alba show full recorded games at the same time as live EPL games.:grin: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,299 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Did not Rangers TV show all our games at midnight after a matchday anyways? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So, it wasn't live in that case? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,299 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Methinks Rangers TV showed a number of games not on national TV, SKY, ESPN and whatnot live. They sure "taped" most of them and showed them as re-runs later on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The only time I've seen Rangers matches live was when I wasn't meant to be watchind them. I'll say no more about that, inn case I come under the criminal investigations rule. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
