Well, my daddy left home when I was three Didn't leave very much to my mom and me Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze...

Kerry.

I think this is a really good question. I don't know about money per game, but in terms of overall package (from Wikipedia, so not sure how accurate these figures are): Belgium - £86m, for every match in their top two leagues, and Woman's league. Netherlands - £67m, for 306 Live Matches + Playoffs. Norway - £63m, for all matches in the top 4 divisions. Poland - £44m, for all live matches in the top league. Sweden - £43m, for 240 matches in the top 2 divisions. Denmark - £35m, for all top division games. Austria - £33m, for all matches in the top division. Scotland - £30m, for 48 live matches and 2 play-offs. Switzerland - £18m, for all 180 live matches in the top division. Croatia - £8m, for all top division games. Czech - £5m, for all top division games.

I get what you say. I was just referring to a somewhat contradictory position. The tinpot nature of our league is what it is. The often childlike hating each other to death undermines potential avenues of progress within the SPFL, it's voting process and executive Mgmt and that is before you get to fans and message boards !! The SFA and how the game is refereed is another angle that is stuck in a time warp. Desire for and/or reveling in the failure of others is a football fan thing but on the same message boards (all teams) there will be threads on improving finance, the co-efficient, etc. You can only do so much by yourself. Ps. I have always thought that as fans, if you want to really annoy another club. Then either encourage or ignore them regardless if hate comes the other way. One set of fans would just end up looking like Jeremy Hunts instead of two sets.

The week's European results turned out perfectly - the complete hero/zero flip from our disappointment in Belgium and DU "flying the flag for Scottish football". It's nice to think of Spence and his ilk being thoroughly sickened by that most brutal shafting. They actually believed they were going to get through! 😂 Having said that, in general, I wouldn't be upset if Scottish diddy teams started regularly making it to the Conference League Group stages. I wouldn't class that as a meaningful success in Europe - the diddy prize money would barely put a dent in the financial gap between us and them. Pluses for us: there's a possibility that they'd contribute to the coefficient, and their fight in the league would suffer as they'd be fatigued by midweek excursions to the arse end of Europe and horsings from the pot A club in their group.

Aye! you are correct, I hate every Scottish club, I want to see them all fail as often as possible, every match! they all hate Rangers & tried to kill us, I for one will never forget nor forgive them all. You can try & build all the bridges you want, they don't give a flying fuck about Rangers!

One newspaper says Tavernier is good enough for Manchester United the way they have been performing I would be good enough

Was this not announced a few weeks ago?

What's with the Welsh Connection? In my experience, if you get more than one Taff in a room, there will be a fight, most often between the Welshmen, and for reasons apparent to no rational person.

we would be silly to smirk until we put away Eindhoven mon the gers

Of course you'll get the football fanatics who watch any and every game going that will muddy the waters, as well as the NOW tv example you cite... but I reckon there will be a large chunk of subscribers where its fairly easy to guess their allegiance when it comes to OF fans given the number of games that get shown for each team.

Yup - interesting. Right? And look at the value of the deal (wiki can be inaccurate i concede). A country with a population of 10 million. Has a TV deal worth a reported 180 Million Euro. Incredible. Even if it was only half of that.

Like i say its complex. But, for example i subscribed to Now TV for Sky sports last year. Only for watching Rangers. But while i had the subscription i watched the odd EPL game. On a Sunday afternoon I would watch Rangers, then I would have an EPL game on after while i do something around the house. The put on Monday night EPL/EFL game to kill some time will I am on my exercise bike. The data they would get for my account is that I watched 2 English games and 1 Scottish game. But I wouldn't have subscribed without them showing that 1 SPL game, and as such wouldn't have watched the two English games. But they dont show very many SPL games. So the data doesn't always tell the whole story (IMO).

I think that Sky must know which matches a subscriber views. The black box will send viewing data back surely.

I don't think there is a comparable league that shares a TV market with another, bigger league.. The fact we as Scottish and English football fans subscribe to Sky/BT/Premier Sports UK which presents English and Scottish league football is unique as far as I'm aware. There is no way for Sky to know who in the UK subscribes for SPFL content and who subscribes for EPL/EFL content. They just have UK subscribers. Its probably a bit more complex than i am able to articulate right now. but what I am thinking is there may be a large chunk of subscribers from Scotland who Sky assume pay the subscription to watch Brighton v Palace on a Monday night. When they actually only subscribe to watch rangers away games. There is an interesting list available on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domestic_football_league_broadcast_deals_by_country Note the TV deal for Portugal (population double of Scotland) and the TV deal type.

Thought United were still in it until the 7th went in...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I watched the first half and that was nothing short of pathetic. Goalkeeper scared of the ball. Charlie Mulgrew is absolutely woeful. Jack Ross emulating his mentor Brendan Rodgers in Europe. United clearly not as compact and organised as they were under courts.

Ahem...

I posted the news that he was going be to be appointed, but it was still some weeks off.

Exactly Ian

Maybe not official but there was a report on it that pointed towards him being a coach for the coaches. First team coach doesn't seem to fit that.

2014 at Ibrox, it was the Scottish Cup semi-final between Rangers and Dundee United. We were a League 1 side playing a Premiership top three team. We lost 1-3, United getting a late third clincher. The Arabs milked it, I remember BBC Scotland's Richard Gordon's summing up, "ah want to acknowledge Jim Spence, I know it means a lot to hami. After what he has been through, Jim will cherish today's result". I looked on from the main stand at the finish to see the entire Broomloan doing the Zombie. I remember Dundee United were the first Scottish club to demand our removal from the Premiership. I could go on. At this moment AZ are leading 6 - zip, I hope it goes to at least eight. Oh and, the fact Michael Stewart on BBC Scotland's live coverage is struggling to accept this justified humping, makes it even more sweet. It has just gone seven and Michael continues to reflect on the first twenty minutes when United appeared to be in control. Alkmaar was the Netherland's historic cheese town, Aged Alkmaar was a must on every cheese board. AZ have delivered a sweet nutty after taste, United are a solid processed tubed Dairylea.

Sadly many others don't see it that way; they just allow their blind hatred to get in the way of pragmatism. As it stands Motherwell and Dun U are embarrassing Scotland again.

Chicken feed. Why do they bother? If free to market it's own games, Rangers could probably negotiate a similar deal by itself.

Similar to Gonzo will wear blue as I too do not pay through the nose to wear tops advertising sponsors and Castore non advertising tops are too bloody expensive.

Tillman because he appeared both halves , Lawrence and Kent were both decent second half which unsurprisingly led to Borna having a much better game , people need to get off his back , when teams double up on Kent he has no out ball , it’s ok for Arfield and Lawrence to make runs where they aren’t going to get the ball .

I'll join in (royal blue Fred Perry cos I don't buy football tops). Still preferred the red, white and blue 150th display though and would like a repeat of that. The best colours in the world and we don't use them enough.
