Scottish Football Thread - 2023/24

My mates a huge Buddie and he even admitted last nights County v St Mirren would get football stopped.

Livingston v Motherwell. Ffs!! Livi are getting relegated and Motherwell will be safe but bottom six.

For years we’ve wanted a title race and now we have one we are showing this dross!

It’s the equivalent of City v Liverpool but Sky show Sheffield United v Crystal Palace!

I’m all for highlighting other teams in the league but we need the TV deal torn up and completely rethought out

I get where you're coming from; honestly, I do. But for the neutral fan, seeing the same old teams (North AND South of the border) can get tiresome.


But we're not neutral; we're biased, and want to see our teams on all the time!

Is it still the 4 home game rule that apply.
If so that should come to an end.
If teams are having a decent season and going for an European spot give the more home games on TV.
After the split there should be more relegation games on the TV as well.

It is the 4 home game rule. I hear it’s Rangers and Celtic that wanted this as they don’t want too many of their home games shown. I agree it has to go

Rangers came to a deal with Sky to show an extra game from Ibrox and in return Sky agreed to allow Rangers to show two games at Ibrox on RTV for UK residents

We have BBC , BBC Scotland and Alba. Surely we could have lower premier teams on a Friday night. That wouldn’t interfere with current deal. Extra revenue for teams in the bottom half of the league and possibly encourage Old Firm fans to go along.

I was going to say there are better minds than me but then remembered we have Doncaster!

Celtic 6-0 up at half time against Dundee. 10 must be a possibility, if they keep their foot on the gas.

Well that was made a lot more difficult than it should have been. Very soft Killie penalty and I’m being generous and then late in the game the clearest handball you’ll ever see by Mayo with outstretched arm and VAR inexplicably doesn’t give it. There’s also a shout after Findlay handled ball but would have been harsh

Three points and up the road and hopefully the last this season we play on that utter abomination of a ‘pitch’ !!

On a brighter note I’m delighted to see the Warnock Banter months continues.

One of the most inept refereeing performances I've ever witnessed. Rangers should have been down to 10 or possibly 9 in the first half, but the ref had already given a decision against them so shat the bed for the rest of the game and from then on just gave them everything they asked for.

Never seen a bigger bunch of time wasting, play acting pathetic cheats, they were all at it near the end.

Kick and rush football from them, a really poor side and if that lot go on and win the league then Celtic will be absolutely kicking themselves, not a good side at all.

And the penalty when Lundstram arm is tight to his body?

The foul on Barisic before cross ?

The ball hitting Findlays hand?

Mayo , on a booking , stopping a cross with outstretched arm?

Not one bad challenge from either side in terrible conditions played on a pitch not fit for schoolboy football!

I want to know what players could have been sent off. Not a bad challenge in the game from either team.

No team has benefited as much as Kilmarnock from poor refereeing decisions against Rangers! Ayr Blue admits in the first game that Rangers were denied a stick on penalty. The SFA have admitted clear VAR mistake in awarding them a penalty at Ibrox.

It’s actually laughable and not a little pathetic to blame a referee who denied Rangers the clearest penalty if the night. I actually don’t think the Findlay one is s penalty but if you’re giving the one against Lundstram then..

Sky panel were laughing at the Killie penalty. Handball decisions are so inconsistent for everyone. Mayo’s tonight and St Mirrens last night. They look clear as day
