SPFL Matters

***bingo70*** · 18-08-2017 06:24 PM

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'.

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.

It's a slap in the face.

Don't know if Scottish Football will recover from such a put down.

It's not just a one off though, is it? We've been taking this sort of mince from them for many years now. Absolutely no respect for the game up here. 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.

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!

Was all rather awkward!

Winner received £200k as a prize. Who's to say they aren't avid readers in their spare time whilst treating gaming as their job?

If you can be paid for doing something you love, then fair play.

It's no different from having someone paid to play football.

The League of Legends championship final was watched by 34 million people, not to mention the 50,000 in the stadium. Players can make 2-3 million dollars a year through streaming revenue alone, then have six figure pro salaries and prize money on top. The growth of the esports industry is ridiculous right now.

E-Sports is where the money is. Scottish Football is not.

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

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.
