SPFL Sky TV deal realities

424

The proposed new deal the Guardian report Sky TV and the SPFL are close to agreeing would see a modest uptick of £2m per season to £29.5m.

For that, Sky can broadcast 60 games each year, instead of the current 48 games. Each club would also be able to sell five pay per view (PPV) games.

The analysts I have read is universally hostile. The deal does not compare favourably with similar sized European countries, the average cost per broadcast game drops and there is little account for inflation.

The analysis is also mostly lazy as our misses the point. Scottish football TV audiences are all about two tribes. Viewing figures become noticeable only when they meet.

Oh for an AZ Alkmaar, to bring drama to Celtic games from midtable.

The SPFL sell TV rights in an open and competitive market. It is absurd to bemoan the deal and not recognise the harsh fact that it was better than all others on offer.

It’s all clubs take up their five PPV options, some will be playing to a TV audience of hundreds, perhaps dozens.

    Kev-j in the sense we know you are a real person as some of us have met you even if it was briefly

     

    However, you are trolling the site using multi monikers if you want to be that individual who speaks the truth to power, you want to be “da man” ditch the multi monikers

    AT – same guff, you left racist vermin oot, that’s a good sign.

     

    It’s never too late to be the guy who is big enough, not hight wise, but integrity wise, and admit that “YOU” and 53k others are financially backing, Old Firm corruption.

     

     

    Lionsroar67 – I couldn’t lace Kev`s boots but thanks for the comparison.

     

    You say you’ve met Kev, lucky you, Kev is a hero to me, I hope he is safe and well and maybe post again one day. 👍🏻🍀

     

     

    I’m like a KEV J, tribute band, he called out PLC corruption on here to do with Old Firm ticket prices that the PLC agreed to, when Sevco won promotion.

     

    It was bad enough the PLC retaining Old Firm prices, £49 in 2016 in Sevco games, Bada said they are currently, £52, what if, as 442 PARK THE BUS says, they might go to £55?

     

    What do Celtic season ticket olders do then?

     

    Pay £55 to agree that SEVCO are RANGERS?

     

    This mess is sly Celtic PLC underhanded capers fault, and the fault of season ticket holders for financing Celtic PLC after the 2012 catalogue of betrayal.

     

    Yet the same folk, 53k who lazily, and cowardly, and sheepishly, continue to financially back up this naked, shameless, corruption, the CQN contingent are dancing around the big, stinking, Old Firm elephant in their living rooms, and are playing…

     

    “LOOK OVER THERE IT’S KEVJUNGLE`S FAULT!!!!”

     

     

    When those who speak the truth are suppressed by those dripping in the guilt of “COLLUSION”, saturated in it, then the days will be as dark as the nghts.

     

     

    Take Care.

    Think it was due to challenge on him,,I just hope Celtic get away with our squad uninjured and available for next game and a result.if it’s a point I would take but I expect us to work for 3 points.i just loathe those surfaces in the professional game,heard all the econ reasons,sympathy etc but it’s poor

    You stopped going long before you forwarded yourself as Cellics unionist reb,

     

    Have you asked your wee racist why Jeremy was disgusted with him and rejected his application to rejoin? Maybe something to do wi davidlammys big idi amin like lips- a wee example of your racist left.you and those wee refugee beating fellow brexiteers

     

     

    Send him a tenna! Find out why

  5. Away games are tougher on these surfaces- not generally because the home team are used o them- Livi picked up more points on the road than at home up to the split and though Killie won more points at home- they lost more matches at home than they did away last season.

     

     

    I foresee a narrow win

    If you weren’t a high profile clique licker those words could and woud be construed as racism?

     

    Probably be called out by you as well.

     

    David Lammy is an apartheid ass crawler, but racially profiling his appearance is wrong

     

    Maybe have a look at yourself for a change.

     

    Take care.

  7. How does a human shoit bag define integrity

     

    It’s posting white racism one second then mick Lynch the next,nup ah know mick wouldn’t have any of that shoit.

  8. That’s a quote from your racist scum bag

     

    Send a tenner to the toilet as that’s where hes broadcasting from

     

     

    Your right racially profiling is wrong,except when scum you like do it .Those tory voting socialists,racism the basis of brexit.send him a tenner. Wee hoor a cause

    So, no apology or retraction for your David Lammy insult?

     

    Just double down and make out that its somebody elses fault?

     

    Celtic FC is cemented to the base of the Scottish swamp, thanks to he 2012 onwards supporter base.

     

    Lie, Deflect, Deceive, Double Down, Brass It Out, etc.

    The brexit racists tory voting scum pretending he doesn’t know who I am talking of ?

     

     

    Send a tenner to what’s it called the ‘shoits’

     

    If you phone the ‘shoits”you will get the

     

    Lazy brexit left doling out quotes like the one cited above

     

    Phone wee George.always good for a bit of conditioning.and stereotyping,pity it falls on the hooring fake who like you.

     

    It is good that anonymous shoit bags like you who would beat back refugees are attempting to define race when your whole brexit logic is based on being a racist.

     

     

    HahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Cracking documentary on the BBC?

     

    That the same BBC who a couple weeks ago, aired a documentary about the people who hadn’t taken a certain pharmaceutical product?

     

    BBC spent a total of 5 days filming with 5 or 6 folk, then condensed 5 days of filming into a smear campaign against the 5 or 6 who were kind enough to take part.

     

    What the 5 or 6 weren’t told was, the 3 principle interrogators’ especially the show host, Dr HANNAH FRY, ILLUMINATI pics of her holding a peacock feather over one eye aha, show host and presenters were majorly funded by big pharma companies and were charged with smearing the 5 or 6 to make them, and anyone else who didnt take any pharmaceutical products look stupid and dangerously a risk of disease!

     

    Another BBC psyop exposed for the frauds that they are, I’m sure BOB MARLEY must’ve been turning in his grave at the thought of being milked by the BBC.

    game day again and the bhoys are sure to bring along

     

    some sunshine and another 3 points tonight.

     

    Only changes I can see are young Liel for Maeda, and will

     

    it be Turnbull, or Mooy for Reo ?

     

    9 o’clock k.o tonight for us here, so no early morning rise

     

    yahooo, all I’ve got to do now is keep myself sober to watch

     

    it. 🍷😜

     

    H.H. Mick

  20. Good morning cqn from a dry at the moment Garngad

     

     

    3 points today is all that matters but I am going with 3 – 1 to the Glasgow Celtic.

    Seek help please.

  21. Good morning from another soon to be hot day here in North Staffs.

     

     

    Had a quick scan back – dear me

     

     

    Bada – cheers

  22. Gene – Probably. Although it’s good to have options.

     

     

    I wonder if there is any truth in the Ross Barkley rumour? I think he would be a good addition.

     

     

    I also would like another centre forward and winger, I know I am a greedy so and so.

     

     

    D :)

  23. bigrailroadblues on

    Good morning all from Govanhill. I hope you are all hale and hearty. Gerrintaethum Celtic!!!!

  24. HH one and all

     

    I have a sneaky suspicion that Ange will start big GG (Greek Ghod) today and replace with Kyogo in 2nd half.

     

    Anyhoo, in Ange we trust.

  25. Tom McLaughlin on

    Someone is due a right good hammering.

     

     

    Today’s the day.

     

     

    Quick goal and Killie shit their pants.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

  26. Abada today maybe Mooy,,maybe Gio.Nothing like being certain,and that’s nothing,blah blah.

     

    JJ in swap deal for Barkley,trumpets and Englander rag. Is that right,Aye.

     

    Nothing against Barkley,a very good box to box guy,great experience.Could be very good for us in SPFL.

     

    Would he come ?Comparisons to the Huns Ramsey deal are laughable.If we could get him,why not?
