    From that perspective perspective it's quite clever.

    Otherwise though, they're misleading their customer and undermining their product. Pretty poor for me.

    As far as BT Sport are concerned Hibs & Well are the undercard, the fodder that requires a good beating in order to set up their precious Old Firm final! God I hope it's a Hibs v Motherwell final, though a Hibs/Rangers final would be fun

    Clearly unaware that there is no 'old firm' any longer.

    It doesn’t say “old firm” anywhere in the advert?

    Clever advert.

    At first glance folk might think there’s an old firm game on and then stop and read the details.

    People in England or Wales are more likely to want to watch the Old Firm than Hibs or Motherwell.

    When I read the thread title I thought maybe BT had done something to offend Africa. Phew.

    I know what you are saying but.... a clever advert would be one that provokes interest in Hibs and Motherwell.

    Disrespectful as you can get. **** BT.

    Fingers crossed both or at least one seemingly peripheral team ie us or Well roll over BT's bumboy pals. That's a shocker of an advert.

    I've often said that as far as the media are concerned Scottish football only has three teams: Celtic, Rangers and their opponent. This confirms it.

    There is nothing clever about this advert.

    It is so unbelievably stupid you might think it a bad joke thought up by a moron.

    Poor show from BT.

    Our game in a nutshell. I can understand BT doing it as all they care about is ratings but this is a classic example of how the rest of Scottish football is treated and why our game is dying

    Wow you really have looked deep into the depths of your sensitive side. Come on mate it doesn't really matter, the only thing that matters is that Hibs are playing Celtic in the semi final of the cup, getting hung up on this predictable marketing by BT is all a bit silly to me.
    Didnt you recently delete a thread about Danny Swanson because others didn’t agree with you, then change your username to “Sleeping Scouse” and your avatar to “gone fishing”? Seems a bit rich to call others out for being too sensitive when you are a tad touchy yourself.

    The club obviously thought it was worthy of a reply so its not "nothing"

    It’s not nothing though is it. It’s a deliberate attempt to disrespect our club. You might be happy to have hibs as an after thought but most on here are not and we have every right to be annoyed.

    Haha no I didn't change it myself at all! As for Danny Swanson it seems Lennon agrees with me :-)

    Why are folk saying our game is dying? What have I missed?

    This is like Regan’s Armageddon chat!!

    What you all feeling so down about? It’s a good time to be a Hibby!!!

    I’ve never felt so optimistic about my team as I do now.

    Great retort from Hibs

    Agree with an earlier comment that BT have been good for Scottish Football, and hopefully this has simply been the ill thought out work of an over enthusiastic advertising employee.
