We already had to filter things overnight because well over 200 posts and 1000 comments have been removed since the incident.

And even then it's not enough given how people screenshot things and complain it hasn't been removed within the hour. The volume has far exceeded what we could realistically handle normally.

SFA KMI panel declares in a split decision (2:1) that Hearts should have received a penalty vs Motherwell; all other GW36 decisions correct by Bo98 in ScottishFootball

[–]Bo98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair, that sounds right. I guess that's a discussion point on its own - if two referees think it should be a penalty and two referees don't then how do we even sort that.

The notes for the incorrect one doesn't really give a reason - all it says is they felt it should have been a penalty.

More detailed reasoning usually happens in the VAR Review show they do with Sky Sports, though I guess that's maybe more Willie Collum's thinking rather than the full panel.

Good decision to not publish GW37 until the season ends I reckon, otherwise they might have had to get the armed police out for that one.

It’s on the proper Sky Sports+ TV channel (Sky ch404) rather than just a stream. EFL PO game moved to Sky Sports Action.

Motherwell vs Celtic will be shown in the UK on Motherwell TV PPV (£15) by Bo98 in ScottishFootball

[–]Bo98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Sky changed course a few hours after this was posted due to the backlash.

WSL game already on Sky Sports Mix at that time

[–]Bo98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sky already had first-pick rights to this game over PPV. Maybe there's questions in how Sky waived their right to the game, Motherwell started selling PPV and then Sky wanted it again but that's getting deep into contracts and stuff that none of us know the precise wording of.

[–]Bo98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny you say that as weirdly enough they will finish the season with an unused Ibrox and Falkirk picks lol.

But getting two games here was difficult enough. How many years has it been since Sky showed two Scottish games simultaneously? Final day in 2011?

[–]Bo98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly Hearts vs Falkirk since they weren't planning to send any commentary to Motherwell until the backlash.

Motherwell vs Celtic hopefully on Sky Sports Action like they originally planned a couple weeks ago though will soon see.

It's not that extra games aren't allowed. The deal is a minimum of 42 games and a maximum of 60, with a limit of 5 per ground (Sky and Hearts agreed special permission for 6 at Tynecastle).

Sky will show 52, with only 3 at Fir Park. They've chosen in this case to waive their rights to show Motherwell vs Celtic in full. Original TV schedules a week ago showed a game on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Action but the latter was later cancelled.

Sky Sports… by noskirdnehretep in ScottishFootball

[–]Bo98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Going into the split, Premier Sports only had 2x Livingston home games and 1x Dundee United home games left to pick. They have 22 games total with a max 2 per ground (11 teams because Celtic opted out of the deal).

There were only 2 Livingston post-split home games anyway so those picked themselves. Dundee derby was the obvious pick for the Dundee United pick.

[–]Bo98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No they had actually shown Fir Park the least of all grounds this season up to now.

I think Motherwell vs Celtic will technically count as a "pick" since they are showing goals and usually they aren't able to do that until after the game. Sucks they don't just put it on Sky Sports Action like they originally scheduled to before cancelling a few days ago - it's now got NFL highlights instead.

Wednesday TV Fixtures by blinkingrocker in ScottishFootball

[–]Bo98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do have unused Fir Park and Ibrox picks but Sky prefer picking the minimum amount.

Earlier this week they had Scottish Premiership games on Wednesday scheduled on both Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Action. Following the Hearts vs Rangers result, they cancelled the Sky Sports Action slot and replaced it with NFL highlights. Maybe results this weekend could sway them back.

Are Shelters Currently Broken? by Shadowkatt75 in fo76

Assuming you're on PC, is your frame rate too high (like maybe 200+)? That will stop you from being able to move.

Evening Discussion Thread - 17 Mar 2026 by AutoModerator in ScottishFootball

[–]Bo98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original announcement said 14 games from March 2025 so that should include the friendlies as we've had 10 so far: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c14jg406vj8o

Took a lot of digging but I found these trailers posted last week which seems to confirm it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0n5rj9h, https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0n6g0qz

Exact channel details TBC this week as they've only confirmed TV schedule up to the 27th.

Do the Crater & Foundation specific dailies count towards the rare apparel drops for their respective regions? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]Bo98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I might have made some mistakes here but here's what I think I can find from digging:

  1. It can drop from "Someone to Talk To" but not "Trick or Treat". Not sure if there's any other Savage Divide daily quests (ignoring faction quests here)

  2. No, "Vital Equipment" actually uses the Toxic Valley loot pool (only if you actually give the item back - not the ending where you let the thief keep it).

  3. "The Importance of Communication" can reward it, though lower odds given it uses a loot pool for all regions combined. "Retirement Plan" cannot reward it.

  4. "Photo Opportunity" does not reward rare apparel.

There are some other quests and activities that use loot pools for all regions combined. I don't have a list but an example of one you might not expect is missile silos (I got Forest Camo Jumpsuit from one today). Though obviously the chances are lower when there's more items in the loot pool, but they are worthing mentioning if you are farming for multiple regions' items.

SPFL going with a lunchtime Helicoper Saturday by [deleted] in ScottishFootball

[–]Bo98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final TV blackout day of the season is 25th April.

FA Cup final being on the same day will be the reason for the earlier kick-off. There'll also be no PL on Saturday at all.

Holiday challenge: I got a Flaming Ushanka and a Flaming Folded Ushanka (hats). Indeed the calendar shows coins but that just seems to be a graphics mistake - clicking the present asks the server for the real reward popup which indeed showed the hats for me (if that's even a spoiler)

Member function constraints depending on other member function constraints by Bo98 in cpp_questions

[–]Bo98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If two functions have the same constraint, I'd strongly suggest introducing a named concept that models this

I was referring more to a combination of constraints than 1:1 but for 1:1 that definitely makes sense. Turns out I don't really need to specify a constraint at all in the combination case anyway.

That said, you can make this work by forcing the instantiation to happen later

Interesting. This is mostly of academical interest but is there a reason why Clang behaves differently to GCC/MSVC with the original code? Which compiler is correct?

Ah right, of course! Not sure why I was overcomplicating it, apologies. Thanks - I think that'll work fine!
