Fox Sports World...Doing Well?

My question:

Are there any SPL games ever televised that don't involve Rangers or Celtic?

I'd like to see the Dundee or Edinburgh derbies on FSW. Dont think either have been on in years though.

i agree... sometimes they do not show the best
SPL matches... i would love to see the
Hearts v Hibs games... alot of passion in those
matches...

I get tired of Celtic and Rangers clobbering some
of the lower teams...

I wish ( hope someday) FSW could pick and choose which games to show , I bet their ratings are higher when there is an american playing . As it was they totaly missed out on the clash of the american keepers Friedel vs Keller a few weeks ago.

There's enough on the channel for everybody - you can tolerate me seeing Rangers play Dundee United at 11 p.m. EST on Tuesdays.

I absolutely second that. There is nothing better than seeing Rangers clobbering the little patsies in the SPL.

Competitive balance? that's for fools. What we want is monopoly. Rangers monopoly, not Celtic monopoly.

for the record...


Celtic Monopoly.... :)


FSW coverage of the Scottish Premiership hits
home with alot of EX-Pats... with what they pay
for the delayed rights..... i would be totally
enraged if they removed it again...

Oh, and I can watch the CFL every Sunday on CBC if I want.

Problem is, most of us aren't lucky enough to get CBC, and they no longer uplink their signal in the clear for those of us with satellite dishes.

Personally, I'm pumped FSW carries the CFL. Clearly, the players aren't as good as the players in the NFL, but the style of game is so much more entertaining.


As for the SPL, I may be the only one, but I, for one, wish they'd show some matches involving non-Old Firm teams. Give me Hearts-Hibs, give me the Dundee derby, give me anything but sectarian bigotry on parade. I can't even watch Rangers and Celtic play without getting irritated at them and their fans.

you're gonna get sectarian hatred in the Edinburgh derby too dude

and dont let the religious matter completely ruin the Old Firm game for you. I went to one last year, and although it was incredibly intense, I did not witness anything over the line. They're still like most clubs when it comes to having many, many good sports fans following them. In fact, I'd say that a Redskins-Eagles game is more disgusting that the Old Firm these days.

If they're going to show cricket at least show some recent games, the ones they've been showing are all about 10 years old.

...and how about some Japanese baseball, that might widen the viewership.

Japanese baseball?? that sounds interesting. I would be willing to watch just see them smoke in the dugouts.
