BishopBrennan Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Can’t help but wonder where we would be if he had that form when we had him on loan. We'd still be in the Championship and we'd still have Jim Duffy. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubes Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Can’t help but wonder where we would be if he had that form when we had him on loan. He’d still be a fat mess. It took that drop down for him to sort himself out and do his personal training qualification that’s ultimately got him to where he is today fitness wise.

port-ton Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 You see so many young talented players who aren't fit and drop down the leagues due to poor attitude and stay there so good for him that going to league one gave him the kick up the arse he needed. He never had a pre season with us to get him fit. I dare say had he had a pre season under Duffy we'd have seen something more like this version of him rather than the waste of space we had up front for us. I can't wait to see the next striker we sign in January when going for the title that ultimately costs us any success as we are getting used to it now.

Toby Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Jesus, that's grim. If they have any sense they'll bring BT's commentators and pundits over to Sky. Commons and Boyd are s***e. The problem isn’t so much the pundits themselves as Sky’s half-arsed attitude towards their coverage- in the same hour they’ve announced a £595 million five year deal with the EFL (starting a year before our new deal, which is also over 5 years) and no mention of how much they’re paying the SPFL. We all know the Premier League is the priority for them, but if thry’re shelling out that much on the EFL, we know that Scottish football is well down the list of priorities. It’s a slot filler for them- why bother investing in Chris Sutton and Michael Stewart for games that yhey’re Not really committed to? At least we’ve got another season and a half of BT Sport, but after that the fun’s over unless Sky really surprise us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapaflow Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Has anyone ever watched a Premier Sports game, it is brutal to watch.

EanieMeany Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Dunno if this is news or not, but the BBC will be showing Championship games from this season as part of the new deal. Vaguely remember reading a mention of it before, but can't remember if it was on here or not. Edit: Just realised it was mentioned a few posts up. Nm that then...

HamCam Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Sky have form for taking out the competition. BT coverage of the game is far from perfect but at least they have made an effort to make it Scottish. I much prefer BT to Sky but the numbers probably don't add up for BT to keep overpaying. As for Premier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Sky Sports have lost an awful lot in recent years, so they've maybe decided that they needed to do something about that. Apparently it's about £10m more a year than BT were offering. The comments about the coverage are spot on, but BT could have matched the offer if they really had the will to do so.

port-ton Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 BT are no longer interested in sport since the new chief executive took over, as it was the person in the position previously who spearheaded their adventure in to the sporting world, so it's no surprise that they're not willing to pay that much for our game. I wouldn't be surprised to see BT Sport shut down within the next 5 years which is a shame as i love their coverage of the Scottish game, English Premier League and UFC.

Jamie_M Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Reports say BT offered less than the current £21m deal. So for the 5 year contract they offered less than £105m. Sky won the rights by offering £160m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say its probably more that the BT staff on the ground cared a lot about the product they gave us and talking up our game, but the big executives who control the money couldn't give two fucks about Scottish football.
