In the context that huns use it, it only ever means either Catholic or Irish, i.e the things they despise about Celtic's background. I've never heard one of them explain about the exact specific origin of fenian as a word before using it in original context.

With regards to hun use, I agree.

I find the equivalence of orange and fenian to be quite troubling. The Orange order is overtly a sectarian organisation. Calling someone a fenian bastard is like calling them an Irish/Catholic bastard. Calling someone an orange bastard is more like calling someone a Nazi bastard or some similar thing. It's not really the same thing.
Fenian does not equal catholic.
But it sort of does

This was always the crux of the argument for me, fenian in their eyes meant Irish or catholic! and hun for us and every other set of supporters in Scotland meant rangers supporter, and not a Protestant. It’s only since 2012 that the term hun seemed to become classed as sectarian in the media

I'm a protestant & have never been called a hun.
Hun = rangers player/supporter, DOB = member of a neo-nazi organisation who like walking about in silly clothes banging big drums.

I have never got the love in with BT that some have, but they are far better than Sky. I really hope Sky don't get exclusive rights.

Maybe if they get a wee bit more money from the deal they can get SKY or BT installed or even employ people on a decent wage rather than rely on day release prisoners to do their maintenance work.

In fact the first sentence more or less answers itself.

Wonder if king will have anything to say about this?

SPFL insist Murdoch MacLennan's links to Celtic chief Dermot Desmond isn't a conflict of interest
MacLennan is a non-executive of Irish media giant INM which is owned by Celtic supermo Desmond but the SPFL say they aren't concerned.

Just a pity they never thought of investigation before the appointments of wiggy and Ogilvie. Their tenures were disasters for Scottish football but at least the rangers are the same club, have repayed all their debt, and have offered a olive branch to all the other clubs :nono:.

Funny that was never metioned nor articles printed...

They really hate anything irish or Tim connected and to be frank - Catholic- anywhere near the boards or runnign anything football wise in Scotland.

Actually pisses me off that the Record think this is a story!!

Not that I expect he gave any detail, but I assume this would mean a continuation of the status quo. Simply because I don't see Sky having use for all 60 SPFL live games given where they and the SPFL opt to screen them in their schedule.

So if true what appears most likely is Sky and BT each retaining their 30 games, and Sky retaining all the first picks.

This is what I fear the most. A simple hushed up, undisclosed extension of the existing terms like in previous renegotiations. We get to learn at a much later date that the reality is a token £5m more a year at most offered to the SPFL.

It's a step change that is needed. That's not going to happen with Sky at the helm of the biggest games, and responsible for the production of all the highlights footage, and dictating when the BBC (or anyone else) can and cannot broadcast highlights.

The issue is the spfl have no confidence that a tendering process will see a significant increase in monies recieved.

Realistically there is no competition or clamour to aquire the rights.

BT and Sky know that the spfl need them more than the other way round.

The same could be said for Super League rugby. Didn't stop them getting a £40m a year deal four years ago.

The last Super League Grand Final, the biggest game in the calendar, got less than 360,000 viewers.

The average of the last 11 Celtic v Sevco games over the last two seasons is 450,000.
