    I remember  somebody saying that it is an unwritten rule  that players don't play against their parent club.

    I'm sure there have been English teams that got into trouble for that fairly recently. I feel like it might be the case for cup games, but that in league games these agreements are against the rules. Might just be an English thing or even something I've imagined though.

     

    Edited to add: looked it up and I'm definitely wrong. Premier League rules say that players cannot play against parent clubs. Not a UEFA rule though. SPFL rules seem to be the same for cup and league matches.

    The 2nd BBC commentator annoyed me with his "poor decision making by Hendry" sneer. If the shot had gone through and either ended up in the net or drew a save it would have been "a brilliant effort" by Hendry. But it was a split-second decision by him, and the shot got blocked. That doesn't make the decision "poor".

    Also then it was the fault of Dykes, who's "got to score from there!", ignoring the fact that their keeper pulled off another excellent save (one of a handful), which is what often happens. 

    I hate these commentators who know what should have happened after every split-second event. 

    I thought Scotland played well, apart from the finishing and Marshall's costly ramble (he was otherwise excellent). The Czechs' game plan worked, ours didn't.

    I thought we were awful. Didn't look strong enough and thought there was poor decision making all round. That might have been that the Czech tactics stopped us from being effective going forward at all, found that hard to judge on TV. They looked like they'd thrown in the towel with five minutes to go. In saying all that, it did come down to how clinical each team was, which is positive.

    Dykes' saved effort was an ok save, but it was hit fairly close to the keeper, with a third of the goal empty. I think it may have been brought back for a handball in the build up if he'd scored anyway.

    Really liking the new away top .....definitely put a Breitner on my day .....not sure if one of my favourites but definitely Klose.

    Will be purchased and definitely has my Vogts :) !

    I hope the Neuer home top is just as nice.

    Being in the Championship will probably result in a couple of Friday night games at Firhill as BBC Scotland have the rights so you can watch us win then go to rehearsals/gigs on Saturdays with a spring in your step.

    I read on P&B that every team had two home matches live on Friday nights last season. Or something like 20 Championship matches were shown and it was limited to 2 home matches per team so they didn't lose out on too much streaming revenue.

  5. I suppose anyone upset with this development was unhappy with the creation of the Premier League, the "expansion" of the Champions League to include 4th placed teams (at the expense of other nations champions going through up to 4 qualifying rounds knocking one another out in the process) and has never had a Sky Sports subscription. The only surprising thing to me is that anyone is surprised.

    The Champions League was already practically a closed shop with a few spaces available to make it look like it was inclusive. Now that Arsenal, Liverpool et al can't guarantee CL football every season they need a new model.

    Oh well nvm.  Onto the proper footie next week.  Some good game time for the squad this week.  

    Disappointing re stream 2nd half.  Maybe revert back to youtube.  Camera work still needs tinkered with some zoom action too before it would become a product worth paying for.

    Not sure they'll be able to put a YouTube stream behind a paywall, which I assume we'll do once the competitive football starts, so that was an important test today which didn't work. Hopefully they can identify what went wrong and sort it for next week.

    Some Hearts fans saying well done for free stream Jags as they would have been happy to have dropped a donation in.  Did we miss a trick considering we could not access Tynecastle feed free?

    Whilst it's been massively improved since the BSC game, it's still a test stream. It went down once or twice during the Ayr game so they could make changes/improvements on the fly. Maybe they want to do similar tweaks and not have people asking for refunds if/when it goes down.

    Anyone else notice players ghosting in and out just over the hallway line in thistles half ?? Not sure if it's my stream, or if there's maybe more than one camera being used side by side and th merge of them isn't quite working

    Looks to me like there might be multiple cameras. There are dark lines coming from around each main stand side corner and next to the half way line line you say, feels like different cameras stitched together. 

    If that's the case then the slow panning is a software thing designed for smooth motion rather than the camera being slow. Perhaps suggests it could be fixed (or hopefully manually controlled!!!)

    I'm assuming that this is the same set up that I read about that the Mark Millar guy has helped all lower league clubs set up? 

    No camera operator, its all done with motion sensors. I was sure I read that it was going to come with an app that you could pick your camera view etc. 

    That'll maybe come later. 

    It could be. I get that it's a test stream, so perhaps I shouldn't be so critical. But I don't get why a manned camera wouldn't be allowed.
