TV Coverage Ban Lifted

UEFA have lifted the ban on 3 o'clock kicks offs being broadcast on TV.

Sounds like thoughts are moving towards behind closed door games to finish the season.

Sounds like a sensible idea. We can all still watch the games, the season gets finished and all are happy.

What's not to like? Surely every team will get behind this. If clubs can't get revenue through gate receipts at least they'll get some TV.

Seems strange
You would think the Belgium football authority would make the call based on the situation in Belgium
And in consultation with the appropriate health authority locally
Are UEFA The football folk really over riding that
You’ve got to play ?

It was being used as an example of how we could just stop here granted by some agenda ridden folk

If you can’t play safely you can’t play at all

I think you are right the belgian fa acted after advice from the government so certainly a tad dodgy that uefa are going against that

Ah but the football authorities are above governments. Don’t Fifa they have a rule that expels governing bodies that have been interfered with by their governments?

They will never get a full agreement over multiple countries with various severity levels

This seems best handled by individual governments and not self serving football authority

Belgium have been hit hard and are raging with the Netherlands that they are doing the herd thing.

There was a proposal to do something similar here if i recall while we were in lower leagues.

Dundee united publicly said they wouldn't vote for anything that would benefit rangers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can’t remember. Would seem odd that Dundee Utd would comment about rangers on a decision that only affected the top league, if you guys were in the lower leagues?!

Don’t know, but the premise in Belgian is similar to ours. Top teams break away and play the last games against each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
because it would increase the size of the league and reduce the total number of leagues it meant rangers would skip a year. United actually stated thats the reason they voted against it.

I can’t remember. I thought they were against the idea of a change of set up previously that meant rangers could get shoehorned into a tier below the current SPFL rather than starting out in the 3rd division, rather than a vote against reconstruction because it meant rangers would miss a year, but like I said, I honestly can’t remember. I think a lot of teams were against certain ideas because they were purely designed to help rangers in 2012.
