I can't mind drinking much in Burghead so I guess it may have been in yon pub up the back in Hopeman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think so. Not too fussed either way re home/away breakdown. Montrose away would've been preferable but would have to rely on Scot Rail getting their act together. Fraserburgh these days makes Peterheid look like St Tropez. To put it mildly The Broch wouldn't be the most pleasant of places to go for a pub crawl.

Few extra bob for televised game. https://spfl.co.uk/news/spfl-announces-record-premier-sports-cup-prize-p All welcome. My overriding views on Doncaster (and the level of his negotiating skills) makes me wonder if having a TV company as sponsor as well as sole broadcaster is good business. In other words will the income from one revenue stream be equal to or more than from two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denismcquadeno.eleven Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) * Nice to see the BBC referring to the trophy first instigated in 1946 as ..”The Scottish League Cup” and NOT The ‘PST’ (!) (Premier Sports Trophy!) Having said that, if it was named ‘The Premier League -Just Four-Trophy’ you wouldn’t be far off ! For at the stage when most Premier League clubs actually join the competition they ONLY have to overcome FOUR rounds of competition, before the winner gets their hands on the gleaming silverware. (Contrast that with the year Thistle won it, when they played precisely THREE times that number of games (12)! (This modern day paltry number of competitive rounds for most top tier teams to win a national trophy could well be a record! Wonder if it is in European/World football.…‘Guinness Book Of Records anyone’?) NB: It also surely (even, ever so ‘slightly’) takes the gloss off those teams who like to bask in the wondrous achievement of winning… the glorious ‘Treble’! We know who you are! Who can miss you?) * On another not totally disconnected issue, it seems that Rangers FC and the Beeb have ‘buried the hatchet’ of animosity that appears to have been coming mainly from the Ibrox direction for most of a decade! For, it was announced yesterday, that the “Restrictions on reporting on Rangers FC by the BBC” which have been in place for the last SEVEN years have been lifted by the ‘Bears’. (These were first imposed by the ‘’red, white and blue team’ due to reasons of which I am unaware, but it must have been some perceived unfairness or ‘slight’ felt by the Govan side. For myself, I had been totally unaware ANY restrictions had actually been in place since 2015, when looking at the BBC’s coverage of ‘the Mighty Gers’ but there you go. Also, I was unaware of the BBC’s great sin/crime, for which it has obviously had to atone for seven long years! The Old Firm’ seem to be permanently in our faces when it comes to all reporting of Scottish football. So, much so, I hadn’t noticed any difference! Hope that doesn’t mean, I will in the future! It seems the BEEB said it had apologised and was happy to “continue apologising” in its excitement about the two, becoming on better terms. Ie ‘friendly again’! I’d say, “Don’t overdo it, Auntie Beeb, lest we end up thinking you’re “much less impartial and objective” than you’re supposed to be claim to be! In your attempts to curry favour (pun intended) with RFC, I’d hate for some or any of the ‘spice’ to be lost from your probing, searching interviews with management and players at Ibrox (or anywhere else) and they be turned into a sycophantic, bottom-kissing exercise! Perish the thought! Edited July 21, 2022 by denismcquadeno.eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perish the thought! If I remember rightly it was actually one reporter that was banned because he publicly said, after a fine by UEFA for sectarian singing, that Rangers were not actually serious about banning certain songs and one director had said 'The Billy Boys' was one of his favourite songs. The BBC then stopped sending any reporters to Ibrox as a protest. No doubt they have now come to an agreement as the reporter concerned no longer works for the BBC or something similar. UPDATE : Here is a watered down version of original story not actually mentioning what he said: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/bbc-refuse-send-staff-ibrox-6179565 Edited July 21, 2022 by dpj More info found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
