You also made preposterous presumptions about Soccer Saturday and you are hoping MHD's questions will go away. 

He's done nothing to contradict my comment that most people who watch it don't go to games regularly. I've made my points clearly and stand by them. There's nothing further to discuss on it. 

You just keep latching on to his comments because you looked a bit of a silly Billy yesterday and are hung up on it.

I have a season ticket at Pittodrie and watch Soccer Saturday regularly. Since I had kids, my away games are down considerably so usually watch it when the Dons are away or if they are playing Fri/Sun at Pittodrie. Whether that be in my house or in the bar with a coupon and some mates, that depends.

I'm not arguing that no one who watches it goes to games. Many people do. I don't think the MAJORITY do. I've explained that I think that as the majority of people who follow football don't go to games regularly. So it'd be strange for the majority of people who watch a programme that's on when the games are actually on, to go to games regularly. 

Anecdotal comments about what you or your mate does dont change the discussion.

Anyway, a truly fucking dull discussion. I've made my point. I'm done now.

It was a bizarre thing to take the moral high ground about to be fair.

Nah. I've not. You'll need to show me how it's been demonstrated that THE MAJORITY of soccer Saturday viewers go to games. That was the discussion.

There was no "moral high ground". I said I wouldn't watch it. Said why. NEM said it's mostly armchair beauts who watch it. I agreed. ?

[styrofoamplates]

I don't watch Soccer Saturday. 

I don't go to many Dons games. 

Make of that what you will.

I've mentioned living there on here a few times. It wasn't out of the blue at all. 

You're doing that thing where you mistake you not knowing about something for it being untrue or never discussed previously. Your world and sphere of knowledge is not THE world. 

^ This.

Aye just because someone does not reveal all about themselves in one go any further revelations thereafter are suddenly called into question.

Wise up.

I like to watch Soccer Saturday in the pub after leaving a Dons game after 20 minutes. 

Then leave the pub later on with no clue of any scores. Dons included. 

The voice of reason once again ?

No one claimed that,  you claimed the majority that watch it are 'armchair beauts'.  You were being disparaging about people that watch it,  like they're not real football fans like you.

No it wasn't. You were making such ridiculous claims, you went so far as saying YOU went to more NFL than the plastics went to fitba.

It wasnt a ridiculous claim, it was an exaggeration for effect. I've pointed this out to you about 5 times now ?

Yeah. The majority who watch it don't go to games. That's correct imo. 

[Guest milne_afc]

People who watch football on tv probably make a bigger overall contribution to football imho.

FWIW, I’ll flick between Open All Mics and Jeff and the Boys - there’s not much between them.

But the majority that do go to games also watch it when they're team is playing away from home or on a Sunday.  So pretty much anyone that likes fitba and going to the pub will watch it occasionally?

They've made a big contribution to the degradation of Scottish football I'll give you that

[Redforever86]

The only figures I can find a random date in 2016 show about 600,000 viewers for Soccer Saturday over the two sky channels. 
 

More than that attend games each week on average in the UK. 
 

Therefore if the average fan who attends games also watches Soccer Saturday sometimes then there aren’t that many watching who never attend games. 
 

These views and stats could be skewed by multiple factors including times of games, similar shows, viewers per household, viewing in a pub etc etc etc. 
 

There are probably a proportion of people who watch soccer Saturday who never go to games.
 

Probably more who are illegally streaming games or only watching games on sky etc.That would be a more interesting debate. But ultimately just as pointless.

I would disagree with that. Theres loads of people who only go to home games so would watch it every other weekend.

If I didn't go to Aberdeen I'd normally go watch East Stirling or Stenhousemuir. 

Why do you ask? 

Not trying to stir things up or that but I'm going to cast doubt on this claim. No danger you go to watch East Stirling or Stenhousmuir but haven't mentioned it.

The boy sitting next to me earlier was watching his new show (looked fucking garbage as per)  whilst slagging off the victims of the windrush scandal

His new show is utter garbage. My youngest watched it and even he thought it was a pile o pish.
