Picture quality is terrible. Like watching a game from the 90s on YouTube

I’m not watching but Scottish football is probably better being broadcast in such poor picture quality to maybe take the edge off how shite the quality of football actually is

It is what it is. I've mellowed towards how bad Scottish football is of late. Watched Ajax Feyenoord last week and the quality of that game was pretty poor too, so it isn't just our game
 
I'd find these games watchable if they stuck them on BBC Scotland with English commentary . They have to end this gaelic stuff no one understands

For the benefit of maybe three people on this forum who might be interested, the 30th Scottish Challenge Cup Final is being played this Sunday at the Falkirk Stadium, 4:15pm kick-off, and is being televised live on BBC Alba.

Raith Rovers versus Hamilton Academical

Although the competition has been running for 33 years, there have been two seasons when the competition was suspended, one for lack of sponsorship, and one for COVID. The pandemic also meant the final wasn’t played two years ago, and finalists Raith Rovers and Inverness Caledonian Thistle shared the trophy.

That means one of this year’s finalists, Raith, are going for their third trophy in a row. Their first win in 2014 we can gloss over; their win last season was over Queen of the South. So this is their third actual appearance in a final.

Accies have played in four finals, and this will be our fifth. Five finals, five venues, five opponents: v Ayr in Motherwell, v Morton in Paisley, v St Mirren in Airdrie, v Falkirk in Livingston, and now v Raith in Falkirk. The first two won, and the last two lost. Five finals in three decades might not be that many, but Accies were ineligible for ten seasons due to being in the top flight.

Raith are favourites, but put your mortgage, your wife and weans, and everything you own, on Accies causing an upset to lift our third trophy, 30 years after our last in 1993. You heard it here first.

Good luck to Raith Rovers.

I don’t understand Gaelic, but after a while it’s just gibberish. Like listening to Andy Walker.

There was a Hibs fan years ago that was OK as well. John Robbo I think.

Don't have a problem with it as long as they're being respectful as you say
