Scottish Cup TV Deal

The SFA have announced that, from next season, four Scottish Cup matches from rounds 4-6 will be shown on the tv. The BBC will also cover a game from rounds 1-3.

Two games will be on the BBC from rounds 4-6

Two games will be on Premier Sports from rounds 4-6

I'm glad the games aren't on Sky, but Premier Sports? Not sure I'm delighted about that.

And this is a SIX-YEAR deal that's been struck. I'm not sure how much they're getting for it though.

So, Sky Sports are not fussed about losing Scottish Cup. Soon, they will only show EPL & EFL games. I'll be surprised if they are making such a large bid for SPFL rights as was quoted last week.

And, we are supposed to sign up to Premier Sports now? No chance, I'll grit my teeth and watch Sportscene for the highlights & suffer Michael Stewart's inane ramblings and Stevie Thompson's crap analysis

I enjoy viewing the highlights online via the website, or via the clubs Youtube channels, because Sportscene is awful.

Michael Stewart must hate sitting next to Thommo.

Grizzly wee angry face like a hobbit thrashing his nubbin with nettles.

Those bashing Steven Thompson are just homophobes. Learn to be more open minded towards pooves.

In fairness I prefer any pundits or channel to Sky's scottish coverage. Apart from Hayley its dreadful.

Glad I got my IPTV sorted out last week, coz the way sports is going the stuff I enjoy watching is gonna be scattered across 5 or 6 different channels all requiring different subscriptions.

I wonder which games will be on premier and which on cooncil telly.
Premier sports is garbage. Don't think they've ever got through a match without something breaking

I'd imagine they get turn about picking a fixture. Hopefully the BBC gets first pick.
