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 ...

Apart from the fact that Ligue1 are showing the PSG v Montpellier live on BT Sport ESPN @ 20:00

Will they? We shall see. If so, one might have a case to complain to UEFA ... No, I said NO! snickering at the back!

I take it as a tongue-in-cheek question, but to answer it still: the European Union and UEFA are not exactly the same thing ?

[Tannochsidebear 2,413]

"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.

 

This is the bit that interests me. The fact we have a domestic cup replay, hurriedly arranged to fit the schedule, gives more than enough reason to show our game on an internet platform, thereby not competing with the main tv broadcast of CL fixtures. It is a slam dunk, and this is exactly the rule that PSG will have used to ensure they can broadcast their game. If our game is blacked out, it is because we have not applied to UEFA to allow us to show it, and if we have, we should be announcing that to our fans via our own website and showing the hypocrisy of UEFA yet again by them allowing a league game in France featuring a big powerful club to be televised, but not ours.

The English and French football authorities can take the financial hit for showing games when the CL is on.  The SFA probably don't have that option.

 

There's far too much football on TV these days anyway.  Should be plenty of spares available tomorrow.

Yes indeed, there are the likes of me over 4,000 miles away who can never make it.
