Sportscene 22/23

[BILLYHIBS]

Chris- making the unmissable missable- Iwelumo and Michael Stewart both put forward good cases citing why Jeggo’s tackle wasn’t even a foul never mind a sending off

Maybes Hibs should use the VT in their case to increase the growing heat on the SFA and their administration of VAR

Worth an appeal

Quite simply have to appeal that red card. It was astonishingly bad refereeing

I wouldn't necessarily defend Sportscene - especially after Saturday - but in terms of comparisons of "technical stuff", I would assume size of budget will play a massive part.

The BBC pay more money to their Match of the Day lead presenter than they do to the entirety of Scottish football. In any other country this would be an outrage.

It’s the same ref who only booked the St Johnstone player for going in studs up in the game last season at Easter Road. It might seem petty too, but Hibs should also ask what he found so amusing as he walked off and laughed.

It’s cheating, pure and simple and Hibs should be asking him to account for his actions at the end of the match, via his supervisor.

If players get banned. refs should too…apparently he’s never been appointed to ref an OF game, but it’s alright for him to blunder his way through ours?

Why? Do you think the BBC should pay an artificially high rate for the show? Paying above the market value would be poor value for the BBC and possibly actionable.

Is the licence fee lower in Scotland?

It’s a fair point but compare the “market value” with the same product from other parts of the uk and there is certainly a disparity that should be addressed.

Didn't think that was the case anymore but the fact it's even up for debate is a disgrace. I do think its only a matter of time until they put more money into the Women's game in England than into Scottish football.

Perhaps. But isn't the issue how football is marketed and presented. If it was more attractive there would be more bidders. The cost of buying highlight rights to the EPL is irrelevant. It's the lack of interest in rights for Scottish football. Why doesn't STV bid?

No.

It would seem that people in Scotland are "paying above the market value" for their TV licences.

How?

Because they're getting less in return for the same price.

We get the amateur pish that is Sportscene whilst the rest get Match of the day hosted by one of the best paid presenters that the bbc pay for the same money. Chuck in live Internationals involving England and I’d have thought that was the obvious argument but I think you know that.

I get Match of the Day and Sportscene, what extra are English viewers getting? Do they even get Sportscene?

You could argue we are getting more, all of the UK content plus a couple of extra channels of Scottish content.

No we're not. I get Sportscene. How would the BBC paying more get me any more?

But how would BBC paying more make that better? I thought the England internationals were on ITV? Surely the approach should be to increase interest and increase bidders?

Scotland doesn’t have a “national” broadcaster, it’s a reserved matter. It’s also how you can’t see your national team playing its most popular sport on “national” telly.

Who knows, if the BBC put a more proportional share of revenue back into Scottish football you wouldn’t get amateur hour presenters; there might also be enough money left over to employ full-time refs instead of wee Willie winkie that we had foisted on us yesterday.

I think the argument is Scottish viewers paying the same money whilst the bbc pump more money into the English game whilst getting the crap we do.

It’s not the job of the BBC to subsidise Scottish Football. It’s Scottish Footballs job to maximise its TV revenue, something I can only assume they feel they have done by going with Sky for league football and ViaPlay for Internationals.

Why have individual national teams and leagues if we are all just one big country?

That's because no-one apart from the BBC wants to show Scottish football highlights.

The only option would be to stop paying for match of the day and hand it over to to Sky, BT or Viaplay.

Roots of international football. It's not popular with a number of FIFA members.

OK. What you want is for a public body (the BBC) to pay over the odds to a private body (the SPFL)? If viaplay bid more would you be happy with that?
