fringo Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 It never did manage to be as good as Sportsreel. Before my time I'm afraid but there should be some good nostalgia on the programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabmania Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Only 30 minutes, had potential, but left me wanting more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sums up all that's gone wrong when they're showing this on the first Saturday night of the league season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It ended too abruptly for me. Enjoyed it but they could have stretched it to an hour surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Average at best. Why didn't they just screen something showing the highlights of today's games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Jane Lewis said on Off the Ball yesterday that the State Broadcaster can't even show old footage of the national team now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 As 1-2 others have said, it could have been better if it had been an hour long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 As 1-2 others have said, it could have been better if it had been an hour long. It would be even better if they made it a weekly thing with different games from the week from years gone by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Tbh I was surprised it was only 40. Did Sportsreel run right up to 1975?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Btw liked the 80's retro highlights for Dundee Utd v Aberdeen. Even had Archie commentating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Jane Lewis said on Off the Ball yesterday that the State Broadcaster can't even show old footage of the national team now. They can if they contribute financially. They're too busy paying the phannies like Danny Murphy and Allan Shearer wads of cash to be on Match of the Day though.

Toepoke Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So who now owns the rights to old Scotland footage?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 So who now owns the rights to old Scotland footage?... I think it's whoever is the current holder of the broadcasting rights - I assume that is therefore currently Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
