southsidebud Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Couldn't see a specific thread on this. It looks like the Germans are planning to restart the Bundesliga behind closed doors at the start of May, with Italy planning to follow suit by the end of the month. The Germans have a plan to conduct testing to ensure player and TV staff safety (they seem so much better organised than us). It'll be good to have live football to watch again (even if no atmosphere and not the Saints). I'll now have to start reading up on the top league teams so that I can adopt one to help through the boring weeks ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A test, as the Scottish government have been stressing, only tells you that you don;t have the virus on that day, nowhere near a guarantee you won;t have it when the game goes ahead. If the players, and umpteen associated supporting staff, are tested on the day and a player shows symptoms will the game go ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that it's not an option for cash strapped Scotland - and I guess we will see if there is any negative impact from the German experiment.

southsidebud Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Lots of matches now on Freesports. Portuguese, Polish and Danish football on - giving us free games most days. There is also a Freesports app available on Android and iOS meaning you can cast in HD to the telly. (especially good as Freesports digital reception can be dodgy and is only in HD) Website below lists all the games. https://www.live-footballontv.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little interest in Overseas football either but better than none. You jump to conclusions too quickly. PTV? Potty TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a bet on it's not really holding my interest so, as I've said roll on Wednesday 17th when the English Premier League starts up.

St.Ricky Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Better than nothing is my take on it. Live game comes top. Watching a Scottish game or team at the pub a poor second and a long, long way back is watching a game at home on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
