  1. Possibly, you are right, but there are lot's of streaming sites showing all kinds of TV throughout the World and they seem to get away with it.  I believe that Now TV was available internationally at one time, so what happened to stop it?

    There was probably a change to who had the rights for international broadcast.  The streaming sites you are referring to are illegal and not to be used as a barometer of what Sky can and cannot do!

  2. I've just realised something....

    NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE BAYING FOR BLOOD FOR MY LIKING!!!!

    COME ON GUYS, LET'S DESTROY CARDIFF THIS EVENING!

    Seriously, I've scrubbed my tip of a draw and now expect us to absolutely hammer Cardiff tonight.

    I saw enough at Brighton to think that on our day we could beat any team in this division.  The way we play, with the amount of chances we seem to both create and concede, I suspect our results will continue to be something of a lottery this season.

  3. Unfortunately Now!   Only in the UK.  I just don't understand Sky, there are thousands of ex pats living all over the world, why do they throw away all this potential revenue?  It's beyond me!

    I doubt it's Sky's fault, obviously they wouldn't turn down another revenue stream, it's probably an international broadcast rights issue.

    To echo others, I stream Now TV (via my Apple TV) and it's a very good way to watch without shelling out for a Sky Sports contract.  Streaming via Apple is the only way you can get it in HD though, for those of you that care about such things.

  4. Can you imagine SL sanctioning selling one of our best players if we're still near the bottom? I just can't. Sometimes that's to his detriment. Brentford, for example, would; we often let pride/fear get in the way of rational decision making when it comes to selling players.

    If Lansdown was willing to spend £9m on a further striker then he clearly there is absolutely no financial pressure to sell one for a similar figure. I cannot see Kodjia going anywhere.

  5. What bothers me most is that thanks in large to our disastrous summer recruitment, we have completely wasted the momentum built up during one of our most successful seasons ever. Competing against bigger clubs with bigger budgets, that momentum was one of the few cards we had in our hand that others didn't, and it's gone already. Already we look like what we are; one of the smaller fish in the pond.

  6. So we're 21st after today's results. Probably fair to say performances have been better than 1 win in 6, but I have to say if someone offered me 21st now I would take it. With 27k seats to fill next season, survival has never been more important to this club, so even if the squad is capable of more, I would still bite your hand off just to be in this division next season.

  7. That's because they set up with 10 men behind the ball because we gifted them two goals from corners. You're talking nonsense to suggest the formation was at fault.

    We were incredibly poor defending two set pieces and that's what cost us.

    Agard should have been on, there was no one running the channels in the second half

    Gifted?

    Two very good corners whipped in with pace and precision, difficult to defend against. Not saying we couldn't have done better but any chance we might recognise that goals we concede are not always entirely our own fault?

    If we'd have scored those, we'd all be saying what a great corner and a great header.
