SMcoolJ Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If I was a betting man, I would say that's a pretty average deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Had a look at what the old deal was, and appears to have been £10million over 5 years, but that was just the top flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Had a look at what the old deal was, and appears to have been £10million over 5 years, but that was just the top flight. Aye im sure it was £2m a year as well. And a quick google seems to suggest Irn Bru were paying £1m a year for the lower leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_B81 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ironic how our National Leagues and main Cup competition now have major gambling firms as their sponsors at a time when players are getting fined/suspended for betting on matches.

I don't really get that argument. Appeared to be used almost as a defence for the players found guilty. Plenty clubs and competitions have been sponsored by alcohol companies, it wouldn't excuse a halftime pint of cider for the players. The rules on betting are probably a bit OTT, but that removes any grey area, and shouldn't be a massive sacrifice! I'd happily give up my Saturday coupon to play professional football!

BremnerLorimerGray Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 In the cold light of day it's a shite deal, but unfortunately better than the non existent we currently enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Did anyone here Tom English going on about the pitiful amount we got from BT? Doncaster didn't deny it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wembley67lisbon Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 2 million a year. That is absolutely pish Must be one of lowest in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot scotland scottish Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Doncaster's ramblings on Sportsound last night were cringeworthy. I was a wee bit disappointed in Tom English as I thought he would have gave a far rougher ride than he did (granted I only heard the last half hour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Why don't they just have a rule that prevents you betting on the team you play for losing? What about number of goals conceded? Yellow or red cards? Corners? draws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, English wasn't hard enough. He should've been armed with more ammunition that Doncaster couldn't brush off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Jim Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I didn't hear Doncaster last night but this morning on the sports news they were reporting that he said there were too many fixtures. Was that from the interview with English? A few years ago when he was asked about changing to a top league of 16 he claimed they couldn't because there would be too few fixtures. Why the change of opinion? The cynic in me wonders whether the SPFL are now pondering a top 16 for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Aye that struck my mind when I heard it. He's probably waiting to see who gets promoted to the Premiership Edited May 14, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khana Lagur Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks to Barry Hearn for all the hard work on this one Pish deal, but it just goes to show that Scottish domestic football is generally seen as a poor product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
