REALLY REALLY wanted to get to this game. I used to LOVE playing Elgin Sh1tty in old Highland league days. Was always a highlight of the season. Would have been so good to have relived the glory days. more i think about it...more im gutted im not there.....

Barry Wilson not playing today.

the Open All Mics link seems to be UK only today (strange) ..... but if you open a direct link to Radio Nan Gaidheal it seems to be playing ... not sure if it will still play during the game, but it is right now: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/rng.asx

According to OAM .... Jonny Tuffey in goals today.

Did i mention how gutted i am at missing this game.

Can see the logic of the starting line up - but no Bloomingshite on the bench - is he injured again ?

Woke up this morning with a smile on my face, until I looked outside to see the roads. Sooo bloody annoying.

Anyone know what the minute silence was for?

BBC suggesting 1200-1500 Elgin fans. County-esque arithmetic methinks.

No live commentary on MFR

regards MFR -

As I understand it, they negotiated rights for SPL games with the SPL ... cup games are a separate issue.

The rights for cup games are held with the SFA and it is the BBC who purchased those rights for the Cup and are able to broadcast it within the UK only. In earlier rounds they tend to do openallmics from multiple grounds instead of live commentary.

The only thing I find strange today is that OAM is UK only ... its not strictly commentary so it should be global coverage ... not going to complain too much though as Gaelic Radio is broadcasting worldwide.

not going to complain too much though as Gaelic Radio is broadcasting worldwide.

probably to boost their listners numbers.....then they can turn round and say Gaelic radio channel has 3-4 times the listeners it actually has

Dont seem to be much happeining in the game?

HT 0 - 0 :/

Thank the lord for Gaelic Radio.

Whats the problem with broadcasting games overseas? All we get is English games - great propaganda for the so called best league.

Erm.....what's going on?

I hope our home form is not as bad as to get beat off Elgin?

Im sorry....but...a draw at home to a 3rd divison side is NOT acceptable!

Far more acceptable than a loss.....anyway, we could do with the big money replay back at their place

Its all to do with media rights ..... and ultimately 'money'.

Audio

For the SPL, each club possesses non-exclusive access to its own media and the BBC also has 'non-exclusive' rights to broadcast games in the UK. If the club have no objections, the BBC can broadcast commentary worldwide. However, if the club have their own service they can request the BBC to restrict coverage to UK IP addresses only and that is what happens with many teams (but not ICT). Anytime you get a game involving a club who has exercised their rights, the broadcast is restricted hence the little comment on many bbc pages that say uk only.

For the cup, the rights are with the SFA and the BBC simply is not allowed to broadcast overseas as they paid only fo UK rights.

TV

None of the TV companies in Canada are interested in Scottish games .... It was on Fox Sports World (Canada) many years ago, then on Setanta from time to time in the last few years but when I asked Setanta about regular programming they simply said nope, we only really want OF. Other games may be shown as 'filler' but no regular scheduling.

For normal TV - Sportsnet or The Score etc ... I know someone working there and basically, the same applies. there is no interest in Scottish football.

Shame ... I can get English, Spanish, German, Italian, MLS, South American leagues all for free ... but no SPL !

2808 crowd ... around 1000/1200 estimated as away fans

Sanchez makes it onto the pitch!

Flashbacks of Montrose coming back....we had an excuse then - just after pre-season, new guys in after relegation, but this.....not acceptable IMO.

I know it's a derby and Elgin aren't to be taken lightly, but we are 3 divisions apart!

It's not happening, got a bad feeling about this one!

1 - 0 sanchez !!!!!!!

DANNY "YA FECKIN DANCER" SANCHEZZZZZZZZZZZ
