[CB Hibs 68]

Just been checking the fixtures for Stranraer and as well as playing today they are also playing on Tuesday and Thursday.That is a lot of Fitba for part time players before a big cup tie against full time opposition.Hopefully Hibs will capitalise and put them quickly away.

Thats not right that they are expected to play 4 games in that time.
They are surely entitled to ask that the Thursday game be cancelled and played after cup tie.
That schedule would be tough enough for full time pros.

I agree but according to the BBC fixture list they have two midweek games.

Aye it’s an early KO. Doubt that will make a difference I’d have thought it would be all sport off, such is the divine importance of this ‘event’.

Thought national silence was at 3 pm . Funeral may be earlier which may affect our match .

The game will be moved.

The SFA will fall into line with the mood in England as they always do.

Though to be fair to English people they seem to be perplexed at the sheer amount of "pretendy grief" being overloaded on to them.

Think it was at Pittodrie

I agree but I think Dumbarton had that schedule before their 12.15 Saturday game against Aberdeen.

Best case scenario will be the iPlayer.

I can’t believe this is a consideration. Most normal people have only been allowed up to 30 odd people but these *******s need an audience of 55 million?

Incredible lack of self awareness from them.

Stick it on one channel, the people that want to watch it can. The people who don’t, dont.

Why is that not an option?

When did anyone ever listen to him Stevie though. He had more class than ever given respect for . Especially as he was a self given Hibby, not just the the Duke of Edinburgh for protocol reasons x

[Carheenlea]

Is the game scheduled for BBC Scotland 1 or 2 or the other BBC Scotland Channel? Surely plenty options across their network for alternative broadcasting.

As the national broadcaster I understand the obligation to cover the funeral, but just stick ours on BBC Scotland Channel or Alba and let folk decide what they want to watch. Or just scrap it altogether and let The clubs stream it themselves.

We never had any National TV or Radio to speak of yesterday other than exasperating tribute and mourning, and even this morning it was ****. They’ll take control on Saturday. I’m more concerned about them scuppering football all day never mind the TV. Hope I’m wrong.
