I dunno really, I just get tired of the same old main commentator and one ex-player commentary setup. They spout the same cliches and talk in the exact same manner all the time.

Didn’t see any of the build up though so not sure who the studios pundits etc are Anyone else noticed much different to the established Sky/BT shows? Probably the same production teams/camera people. Would imagine most are self employed and if they know their trade, they'll likely get the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I won’t be doing is buying subscriptions to multiple platforms to watch football - I’m fortunate enough to say I won’t be paying, not can’t pay, to watch all the games now and going forward isn’t going to be cheap. I get the football authorities trying to maximise income, but there must be a tipping point and for me it’s been reached. Especially when you can get games for free on streaming sites, and ususally in HD, I honestly don't see why anyone would pay even if they wanted to.

Yes all games are live you just select which one you want to view the good thing is you can watch 45 mins off early game then 90 of then 2nd game or watch 90 of first game then last bit of that 2nd game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubStixx Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I had a quick look at the Palace v Bournemouth game and it looked like a good service. I struggle these days to watch non-City matches. I'm not emotionally invested, so get bored pretty quickly. Probably just my age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Of course, he could just not show any football, but then like he says in the replies, the customers will go elsewhere & he wont get them back once that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I really like the idea of this. They could even charge £20 a month and get all the football under one umbrella. Would save me £14 per month straight away. It's vital that the 3pm blackout continues if something like this happened though, a few in the replies suggesting that it should be done away with. It would kill grassroots & lower league attendances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 We have to blame the FA for these ridiculous TV prices. Sky/BT/Amazon charge these prices because they pay, literally, billions to gain the rights. The FA just sell the rights to the highest bidder, with no regard to the fans, greedy ******* the lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Personally I would much rather talk to people than watch a PL game. I would like to watch a City game and the CL final but that's about it. Try to get the men to bring their women with different incentives and your pub will flourish. No one is interested in PL football. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
