    Why would any governing body sanction this fight? Reputationally its a disaster for them isn't it? The Luxembourg route was used for Haye Chisora due to disciplinary reasons following the brawl in Munich which is a lot more justifiable than this particular event at the moment. The more likely route is that Matchroom win their legal discussions with BBBoC or hold it as an exhibition fight instead (in name only obviously).

    When the news broke yesterday my initial thoughts were Benn wouldn't be the sort to do that but when you think about how sudden his improvement has been over the last few years it does raise a lot of suspicion, particularly when you look at the masking capabilities it has for steroid use.

    I hope Eddie see's sense and pulls the fight as it isn't worth whatever money is on the line as the measures he's going to have to take will be damaging to Matchroom, he's done a lot of good for British boxing over the last decade but this would stink and would always be held against him. If the DAZN move was going better for him and AJ was still on top I think his judgement would be better and not so financially driven, maybe because he hasn't failed a UKAD test it opens up a lot of legal liabilities for them if the fight doesn't happen as CEJr could sue them directly so he has to show mitigation measures to ensure he isn't liable?

     

    I dont think they will hold it as an exhibition fight.

    Because exhibition fights are not scored by judges, so should it go the distance.  There is no official winner.

    Just cant see that being acceptable.

    They’ll lose so much cash now I think they’ll crowbar in anyway possible to make it happen. I’m also hoping to nab some PPV codes as I do a fair bit of work with DAZN so happy to share with the MVPs in here ??

    My guess would be if the BBBoC say no.  They will already have the Lux board lined up to step in.

    So as long as Eubank is happy to box, I would expect the fight to happen one way or another.

     

    Would love a code if there are any up for grabs

  3. I think Robins TV is actually pretty good.   Bearing in mind we are a football club not skysports.

     

    Occasionaly I have had to watch a city game, via the opposition feed.  Which means you get the other teams commentators as well.

    Compared to other teams, I think we are pretty good.

    One match I watch (sorry cant remember the team) the commentators were clearly older ex players ... who had had a few liveners .. and were just chatting to each other ...putting the world to rights and taking the opportunity to settle various (decades old) scores with people at the club.   Was comedy gold

  4. I used to live in Norwich.  It is a Fine City, I know this because they have a big sign on the city limit saying so.  Plus the locals will mention it.

    If you ask anyone in Norwich about pubs.  And quite often, even if you don't ask.  They will tell you that :

    "Norwich has a Church for every week of the year and a pub for every day of the year!"

    This is usually followed up by an adendum of which pubs/churches have closed recently ?  Or other remarks which through the validity of this claim into doubt.

     

    Anyway, there is no shortage of pubs.

    Or any of the many of Bible verses on forgiveness. For a bloke with scenes from the Sistine chapel tattooed on his back Jones could perhaps do with a bit of a Sunday school refresh.

    But Dave, RR needs to pretend he was absolutely certain we would get promoted with anyone in charge that season as it's the only way he can make himself the central character in the story. ?

    A new wave of Gonzo journalism?

    Pointless!!! Could have someone’s eye out with those! ???

    So, is this under the umbrella of Pula / Bristol Sport….or a cynic might suggest Jon’s new venture is taking money out of the club for his own company’s benefit.  Nice cushy number if so.  Be nice to get some transparency on this.  At least with the club sub-contracting certain elements to the likes of JMP, it’s a business-to-business relationship. To an outsider looking in, this looks all a bit too convenient!

    Perhaps they are for aerodynamic downforce?

    Imagine if they did take him on tour with them.

    Then started posting various pics of Stan around European landmarks. 

     

    Or maybe he is on a modelling assignment for a new range of OSIB merch?

  9. Tried quite a few official (?) ones before, all were very slow

    Just installed one and it is very good and has every channel, UK and Irish channels, all sports, movies and PPV stuff.  Plus Bristol City games.

    So far has been perfect.

    Abrahmovic played a key role in supporting Putin, and helping him get into power, at the start of the century. Back then Putin needed the financial support of the oligarchs.

    That has now changed as Putin has increased his power, and own personal wealth, so much. The oligarchy is now subservient to Putin. This is why you see so few of them speaking out against the regime, or certainly not directly criticise him. 

    Should count his blessings.  Not all of the (wealthy) people who put Putin in power are still alive!
