Shame about the broadcast last night although people complain its not like BT could have anticipated the issues they would have had at Brechin and its no like any games will be on there in the near future.

BT are actually supporting our game where as Sky especially after the collapse of Setanta have done nothing but downgrade the Scottish game while pumping literal billions everywhere else. I actually fairly enjoy the BT broadcasts and if I take the blue tinted glasses off personally fairly enjoy Chris Sutton's analysis in particular he only had nice things to say about Rangers and in particular MW recruitment this summer.

You see a lot of posts on here about other clubs and away support and kicking when we are down but no one is more guilty of kicking us and the Scottish game in general than Sky and thankfully BT have started to dismantle the monopoly they had over our game deciding what and were they were going to spend the minimal money. Its not like we are going to be getting anywhere near the English game ever but competition and the attractiveness of our game currently can only mean more money for everyone which is what I hope.

Rangers being back where we belong will also help that.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly but MW said that the last game would be our strongest line up either that or it will be the Burnley game really looking forward to seeing Rossiter in particular. .

Agree with the comment re BT. They have been a supporter during the past 2/ 3 years while we were in the lower regions.

However the true blame lies with those supposedly looking after the Scottish Football's interest and they are still there so don't expect miracles until the whole Scottish system is brought up to the 21st century.

the league up here is a joke tbh, has been for yrs, never been a fan off this split bollocks tbh, and this new cup format seems bizarre, two league of 20, play each other twice ( opens up for more of a challenge imo) , do away with the league cup play league games instead and have a winter break, how these clowns that make the decisions get a wage escapes me.

To be honest the product is rotten and say what u want about sky they are at least putting some money in. Do you think the BBC would pay the same? Also after last weeks results in Europe we are lucky sky want to televise any of the games.

Preparation is the key if a news report was happening ft there and the broadcaster had weeks of notice then your signal would be bang on but bt charge crazy prices so I believe it is unacceptable they could have ran checks had back up transmitters not just turn up plug in and realise that it doesn't work compared to sky their prices are too high as they know that football supporters will pay to watch their team but it is over the top. Plus even worse than that picture last night is having to listen to Chris Sutton and Michael Stewart they are the worst pairing that you could get after neven and Cosgrove we need rangers TV on sky with games and our own commentary.

Yeah but with proper investment it wouldn't be I feel we have been completely underfunded for years especially when we were in the lower leagues you need money so all clubs can compete maybe even retain some of there better players and attract better talent so the product is better, just my opinion.

Know what your saying however they are only giving us what they think it's worth.

When there was competition in the market with Setanta we actually had a decent deal but since they sank Sky have done there best to give us the bare minimum in my opinion. With better funding I think everything improves on all aspects from crowd numbers to the quality of the Scotland squad I feel we are really underfunded as a nation and feel Sky didn't and doesn't help our nation enough in comparison to the prices it pays for others we don't even scratch it and I'm not asking for those kind of deals but better deals means a better product in Scottish football.

Nice wee speech about BT but forget to mention Joe public pays for a product if they can't deliver them they should refund, you wouldn't go and buy Mouldy bread out of a shop and be expected to just forget about it get it sorted or Feck off!

Celtic and Rangers didn't want the setanta deal, but were out voted by the rest of the spl at the time, we had a decent deal with sky at the time, I agreed with one of the posters that said they blame the suits running our game, as Barry Hearn said, they are a joke and if they worked for him they would have been sacked years ago, with rangers being back this is now the time that they should be trying to line up better deals, but they couldn't get a good deal even if it was handed to them.

I don't mind Sutton being part of BT commentary but please can the producers tell home to drop the overated pronouncing of "The" when referring to our club.

just trying to be smart and getting a dig in.
