From a personal and supporter point of view, I want to watch Rangers, I couldn't care less about any other team
Strange people on here consistently go on about looking after Matchday going fans, now they want TV to move games to suit them
You can always record the other game
Which posters have argued for both points?From a personal and supporter point of view, I want to watch Rangers, I couldn't care less about any other team

We should really care about this, especially after the record numbers the 3-3 draw brought in.Who really cares about this?
People in England don't give a fúck about Scottish football.
The idiots that run Scottish football don't care about it either so they shouldn't start moving kick off times about under the pretence that they do.
IMO there is only one point, show our game at 3 pmWhich posters have argued for both points?
Are suggesting you care about fans you have never met?We should really care about this, especially after the record numbers the 3-3 draw brought in.
We could have the vast majority of UK football fans watching our final.
So nobody then? Just different people expressing different views.IMO there is only one point, show our game at 3 pm
And?We should really care about this, especially after the record numbers the 3-3 draw brought in.

No. I'm saying we could have much more exposure.Are suggesting you care about fans you have never met?
Extra time would start at 3.30, plenty of time.No, because there could be extra time and pens
And what? What else needs said? More viewing figures and more exposure for the game up here is a bad thing?And?
How is that plenty of time?Extra time would start at 3.30, plenty of time.
Oh aye, FA cup final 16:30 then.How is that plenty of time?
Over the years our support has had to put up with ridiculous KO times, Ross County's early KO for exampleSo nobody then? Just different people expressing different views.
Your post made it look like the same people were offering up contradicting views.
Because that will allow us a better TV deal?No. I'm saying we could have much more exposure.
has the Scottish cup final ever kicked off earlier than 3pm?? I know the league cup final has kicked off at 2 before but I cant think of a time when the Scottish cup final has been earlier though i could be wrongAgreed mate, but there’s been a couple of instances in recent years where it’s been earlier. Really hope it’s 3PM.
The FA Cup Final was originally moved at the request of the Sponsors, ( Buds ), for people on the Staes to watch itWas the FA cup that moved to after 5pm for years, so they can bangle any request for us to move
Yes, mate.has the Scottish cup final ever kicked off earlier than 3pm?? I know the league cup final has kicked off at 2 before but I cant think of a time when the Scottish cup final has been earlier though i could be wrong
Address the second part of my post for your answer.And what? What else needs said? More viewing figures and more exposure for the game up here is a bad thing?
Yes, mate.

The were always the same kick offs, we'd drive down to Girvan and catch the English cup final on Ulster tv if Rangers weren't playingWasn't a problem 22 years ago. The Chelsea v Arsenal FA Cup Final and Rangers v Celtic Scottish Cup Final both had a 3pm kick off time.
It could, why not?Because that will allow us a better TV deal?
What would you like addressed? The authorities don't have any control over who watches our game, as in tunes in anyway.Address the second part of my post for your answer.
Last season’s put a stop to that, plod will make it 12pm to spoil everyones fun.The Scottish Cup Final should always be a Saturday at 3pm. You don't %^*& with tradition.
If the FA Cup Final is at the same time - so be it. Happened many times in the past.
The finals have always been generally played on the same days / time. No one in England watches Scottish football anyway so there’s no problem.
That's what il be doing!!Why don't people just follow grandads theory just have 2 tellys so you can watch them both.
Why would you want to shorten the close season by a week?Don't know why the Scottish Cup final couldn't have been scheduled for Saturday 1st June instead with a 3pm kick off.
The CL final takes place that day but not until 8pm.
Why would you want to shorten the close season by a week?
Because the close season is shite.Why would you want to shorten the close season by a week?
Some people are still stuck in a time where they think the Old Firm game is the biggest derby in the world unfortunately.
It’s a showpiece final though.How dramatic.
As if our games aren't moved every single week to accommodate English footballs TV schedule.
The BBC hold the rights to both finals which poses an obvious scheduling headache and last year, the SFA got around that by moving the Inverness vs Celtic final to a 5.30 kick-off to allow both finals to be shown live UK-wide. But that sparked fury from both clubs involved in the Hampden showdown who were left furious at the break from tradition.
UEFADon't know why the Scottish Cup final couldn't have been scheduled for Saturday 1st June instead with a 3pm kick off.
The CL final takes place that day but not until 8pm.
Don't understand the logic there at all.UEFA
The last time it was scheduled for the same day as CL Final the Scottish Cup Final was played on the Sunday in 2013
So it doesn't happened
Probably not but it isn't an available date to schedule such a match onDon't understand the logic there at all.
Do they think the CL final's thunder is going to be stolen by a match taking place in Scotland five hours earlier?
I’d quite like to watch both. Move the FA cup final to 12pm.
Problem sorted.
