Maybe we speak about different incidients as those they showed in again didn't make it look like him trying to dive. In any case, methinks he never claimed anything either.

Id like to mention defoes ridiculous dive. As bad as burks if not worse. Burk at least was fouled 5 yards back from going down. 

 

Never want to see that again and thank god we didnt get a pen for it. 

Where did this come from? I don't remember seeing anything like so has Sport(bias)cene come up with it??

Thanks Ian have seen these was questioning Gunslinger's mention of Defoe's ridiculous dive but have maybe misread his post?

He kicked a defenders legs and threw himself down. It was horrible to see. Really hope gerrard stops him ever doing it again. 

 

Thank god we didnt get a pen or he would have been banned  

That sort of thing is systematic in the English Premier league, where Defoe has been playing for 15 years. Sky pundits like Thierry Henry would say it was a penalty cos the defender lunged in, whether there was contact or not. I don’t like to see it either though.

 

On another moan, £27 seems a bit steep for the replay..

Same price as the first game.

Apparently, it was Kilmarnock insisting on the same price due to our guaranteed CCC money. We wanted to reduce the prices for this game. I heard this on the H+H Patreon daily update so don’t blame me if not accurate?

Aye the "blue pound"!!!!!

BTW, the game tomorrow won't be shown LIVE on TV anywhere, as the CL is playing and strict rules apply. As if those Bears who have paid for RTV would happily watch a CL game instead ...

BLACKOUT

Here’s why even Rangers TV won’t show Kilmarnock Scottish Cup replay

 

The pair meet in Wednesday night's Scottish Cup replay at Ibrox but the only legal way to watch the game is by purchasing a ticket

 

THE only way to watch Rangers vs Kilmarnock is to get a ticket for the big game on Wednesday night.

The Premiership duo lock horns again in the Scottish Cup fifth round replay at Ibrox following the recent goalless draw at Rugby Park.

 

But due to strict UEFA rules, punters WON’T be able to watch the game on telly or Rangers TV.

While Schalke vs Man City and Atletico Madrid vs Juventus will be beamed across the world on Wednesday, Scottish football fans face a blackout.

That’s down to a memorandum of understanding between UEFA and the EPFL, which runs until May 31 2022, preventing member clubs from having televised matches which clash with the Champions League.

The agreement previously in force expired on March 15 2017, before the parties entered into a new arrangement later that September.

 

Outlining the reasons behind the TV blackout, the memorandum of understanding states: “Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 3.8, EPFL Member Leagues may be allowed to schedule matches on dates reserved for UEFA club competitions when no other date could be found under the following exceptions: Top division matches, which had to be postponed due to force majeure or to other reasons beyond the reasonable control of the concerned EPFL Member League, may be rescheduled on dates reserved for UEFA club competition matches, upon agreement with UEFA, when it appears that no real alternative exists.

“If such matches are not to be broadcast domestically and/or internationally, no restriction applies as to their kick-off time.

 

Circumstances considered to be "out of the control

 

Adverse weather conditions;

Strike and civil unrest;

Sudden unavailability of a stadium;

Decision of a competent state authority to move a match;

Participation of clubs in the FIFA Club World Cup;

When UEFA itself reschedules matches at dates which are reserved for domestic competitions; and

“If such matches are to be broadcast domestically and/or internationally, they shall be scheduled in such a way that they are terminated at least 15 minutes before the kickoff of the UEFA club competition matches, subject to UEFA’s approval on a case by case basis.

"UEFA shall consider requests for kick-off time slots overlapping with UEFA competition matches on a case-by-case basis and undertakes to strive to find a positive solution, depending on all circumstances of each individual case.

 

"Specifically, the Western European time zone is a factor to be taken into consideration for the granting of such requests."

Premier Sports and BBC both have rights to the Scottish Cup. But with Rangers and Kilmarnock both members of the EPFL, both broadcasters will obey the ban.

If there are no alternative dates for a club to meet its fixture commitments in order to avoid that a player has to play 2 matches within 72 hours due to the scheduling of a competition sanctioned by FIFA, UEFA and a National Association

 

Gers fans had hoped to dodge the blackout through Rangers TV.

But an Ibrox source has confirmed to SunSport that the game will NOT be shown live.

Ironically, another Scottish Cup fixture between Rangers and Kilmarnock was blanked out for the same reason in 2016.
