Don’t expect Paramount+ to spend £100m a year on Scottish football
Skydance has uncovered “tens of millions” of dollars in luxury hospitality spending under the former Warner Bros. Discovery regime, including expenses for dining, travel and gifts, according to two sources: • The former WBD regime spent in ways big and small — like stacks of receipts for sandwiches and green juices from the gourmet grocery store Erewhon • The company expects to save “millions” by reducing spending on outside vendors, studio services and redundant marketing budgets • One source even suggests press junkets will be revamped Read the full cover story: wp.me/pc8uak-1lI5Jm

🆕 Largs Thistle have been given the green light to keep their floodlights beaming until 10pm following a meeting of North Ayrshire Council today. It paves the way for Ayr’s Scottish Cup third round clash at Barrfields to be beamed on the BBC with telly chiefs keen to air the Ayrshire derby live to the nation.

A moment to note something. This - and the work on Brand- can’t be replaced by AI, however sophisticated. It can’t be replaced by content creators It takes teamwork, painstaking quiet work over long period, and the conviction to take on the legal risk. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

Reliably informed that a match has been selected but there’s a curfew for floodlighting that needs to be agreed with the local council
Yeah very surprising! Wonder if clubs rejected the choice and BBC didn’t want to stump up for it. They’ve actually only shown one match from this year’s competition so far.

First draft of a SPFL version of The Simpsons “We’re playing Softball”
Davie Martindale has done it. Ross County have never done it. Dundee haven't done it since the 70's. Hibs haven't done it for 15 years. Hearts have done it 9 times this century. What is it?

Someone could be threatening my family and I don’t think they could make me phone in and say this.

Football in 1926. Boots like bricks, a ball like a cannonball and shorts you could go camping in. Could today's players hack it? 😂 Watch our 1926 experiment in the brand new AVFTT, streaming now on BBC iPlayer. ⚽

Exceptional bit.
Dopo aver subìto l'umiliante 1-9 contro il Como e con lo striscione di protesta dei tifosi ancora alzato ("Siete la vergogna di 120 anni di storia"), il Lens ha preso questo gol contro l'OM dopo un minuto.

That’s Kilmarnock avoiding relegation then
Gary Caldwell understood to be a name on Aberdeen's shortlist for their next manager. Been admired by the club for a little while.

Amazing, what a shout that is! 😂😂 Clearly not a real Aberdeen fan or he wouldn’t have went this shout.
'Who would want to come here?' 🤷 Aberdeen fans react to head coach Stephen Robinson's departure from the club and who they'd like to see next ⤵️ #BBCFootball

I started this account in 2016 to bring back memories for people who enjoyed football on TV before it got as saturated as it is today. It’s something that I enjoy doing, and I hope many people out there enjoy what I post. I don’t post for financial gain, only for the memories from when I was a kid growing up with Saturday and Sunday afternoon highlights and the occasional live game. So I was amazed and astonished to wake up this morning to find my account locked because of two small highlights I posted yesterday which X disabled. Both were from 1972 West Ham v Man City and Leeds Utd v Nottm Forest, but what I couldn’t understand was that it was the Premier League that complained. Could someone please explain to me what the problem is regarding this issue, and why it effects the Premier League so much they have to complain when it’s 20 years before their time?
