    Sky/Bt

    I understand that they are the biggest supported teams in scotland but might as well change this to Celtic/Rangers tv as they are on 16 times in the 1st 3 months 8 each we are on once obviously against Celtic. Although I am pleased to have majority 3pm kick offs on a sat would be nice to get a slightly more even spread between the teams.

    It's always been that way and it's not going to change. Scottish football consists of the OF, then the rest make up the numbers.

    I refuse to subscribe to either package so don't blame me. Wouldn't give them a single penny.

    Pity there are not more like you Sky is killing Scottish Football. We have thousands of scottish football fans making the likes of Bradford , Blackpool and other non entity clubs rich. Its within our power to force Sky into a better deal if we had a mass boycott of their sports package but it will never happen.

    Scottish fans account for 18% of Skys Sports Revenue and they give us 1% back. Its no co incidence that the Welsh National Team is now lea

Its no co incidence that the Welsh National Team is now leaving Scotland in its shadow with their top teams part of the Sky gravy train they can develop and produce better players. Never thought Id see the day when the Welsh could call us diddies in terms of football but that is the new norm thanks to Sky and Scottish fans buying into the EPL hype.
    Great post. There are many reasons for the state of Scottish football - the SFA, SPFL and Scottish media included but your post highlights possibly the main one. Fans gripe and moan when we can't compete with smaller English clubs f

    I really don't see it this away at all if the dinosaurs that had moved with the times and not stood still then our product be worth much much more.

    It's easy to blame skybt whoever but if the product is dull and boring then why pay over the odds?

    So blame all the your powers of be for selling our game short I be honest the best games if last season were the play offs the last two!

    I have sky and BT cause l love watching football I pay at the gate still always will.

    English Football was on its @rse until sky took a grip of it, says it all. Dilapidated stadiums falling crowds. Sure our game is full of dinosaurs but you dont think the FA was exactly the same before Sky transformed what they were selling?? Many of the games beamed into our homes from south of the border are utter p1sh but you'd never hear any of their pundits admit it. Sky package it, brand it and sell it and folks buy into it.

    I used to have Sky and the though
