Recorded SPFL matters as was busy earlier, just tried to put it on to discovery sky sports decided that two guys playing FIFA on the Xbox takes priority over Scottish football now.
I can't be the only one that finds it completely bonkers that sky are showing FIFA as a sport now surely?
Fairly ironic name for the show as well......'spfl matters'........just not as much as two spotty teenagers playing a game against each other
Shocking considering they're trying to up thief game to match BTs coverage. Not that I have any interest in it but watching other people 'gaming' is actually a pretty big 'sport'.

What the **** are you 2 on about? I just watched it and I don't know what you're talking about.
These people who are earning all this money doing esports need to stop playing computer games, read a book and educate themselves.
Watched it for 5 minutes. Did anyone else find it funny the player - Kris Boyd, interviewing his manager? Asking about why he signed so and so and why he chose tactics etc? Talk about undermining the manager!
It was originally scheduled for 6:30 but they cancelled it and put it back to back of 10 as the kids playing a computer game had over run.Quote:

Sometimes I wish we would just tell them to shove it altogether. Screw the TV money. Full attendances and 3pm kick offs should be our aim. Not bending the knee to this lot.Quote:

The growth of the esports industry is ridiculous right now.Quote:

It's not just Sky. I tuned in to listen to Sportsound, BBC Scotland of course. What do I get? A run down on EPL matches. WTF???? I want to hear good reporting of Scottish football and if they run out of material on the SPFL Premiership I would rather hear about Championship or lowered Scottish leagues than stuff about Chelsea and Liverpool.Quote:

A BBC Scotland sports journalist proudly tweeted yesterday that they'd have all the best English premiership chat on sport sound last night. It was reassuring to read the number of tweets slating him for it.Quote:

I'd rather watch someone read a book than watch them play a computer game.Quote:

I don't think Sportsound are the culprits if someone is selling our game short - they have a daily show talking about it.
Interesting, cheers.Quote:

To be honest if you actually play a game it's impressive to watch the pros play it at the very highest level. The amount of skill it takes is vastly under appreciated by the general public.Quote:
