PL to act against websites broadcasting games

[Ripley]

Web broadcasting

 

I agreed/disagreed with these 2 comments on Burnton's piece

 

If Mr Burnton had done even a little bit more research he would have found a lot more available to him than 'grainy images from foreign websites'. I watched the Liverpool game on Saturday, and had a choice of four or five broadcasters, three of which had English commentary. Its a debatable point about whether or not this is a good thing.

The best course of action I find, is to take the 'no commntary' option. This allows you to actually form your own opinions of what you are watching, rather than take Andy Gray's dreadful one-eyed view of things (or even worse, Brian Marwood)

 

The best part of the whole experience though, is taking whatever money possible out of SKY's pockets. There is now absolutely no reason for me to have to pay their ridiculous amounts to watch football.

 

Anyway, even if the PL do clamp down on internet broadcasting, you can just go down your local and watch the match on any number of foreign channels if the landlord knows what he's doing.

It is illegal to watch this on the net.The thought police will be at your door the next time you attempt to cheat paying over the odds for a hairy man to ask shallow questions and a blinkered scotsman screaming cliches back as answers - the chinese coverage sounds better than the s**** we have to listen to. Long live 'underground' football.

ah but it's damaging attendances at games. nobody is going to lower league matches any more. which has nothing whatsoever to do with sky's incessant hyping-up of the premiership of course.

Or the fact they're generally greedy c***s who want £20+ for the dubious pleasure of watching a league 1 game.

 

The PL are failing to see that where it not for the increasingly expensive sky monopoly, 'illegal' webcasting

wouldn't be an issue. I may be being idealistic here, but it's fecking ridiculous that you can pay anything up to £18 to watch us on PremPlus in the UK, yet most of our games are shown in France for feck-all.

 

Rant over.

Going to a match costs too much, that's killing footy not sky.

and why are matches too expensive? is it because sky's funding of the game and injection of cash has led to clubs paying the players over-inflated wages?

I f***ing hate Sky.

Not me particularly, but the impressionable saps that are paying upwards of £20 to watch MK Dons af all people.

Its £8 per match. At least in England it is anyway.
