Never fear, I've heard he's going to pursue his hobby on a permanent basis, and become Pep's full time proctologist. Lets face it he spends almost every waking hour firmly rammed up there as it is.Poor Ballbag.

I meant through one single broadcasterIsn't there a Virgin subscription which covers both the football shown on Sky and BT Sports?
BET 365 have been showing La Liga last couple of years.How the hell am I supposed to watch La Liga now? Sky showed every game. If City or Liverpool were on it gave me something else to watch. Problem they have is once Ronaldo and Messi are gone the product might not be as attractive. There are some good players, but not on the level of those two.
I sort of understand these posts for people who just watch Football all day and want it all under one roof but my main conclusion from this is just go to a live game even if it's just your local non league club.These distribution rights are just crazy. When I lived in London in 2011, I had less games on offer than I would back in Norway. When I came back home, they also started to take away games on Saturday at 15:00. In the past, you could toggle between three games on Saturdays at 15 - but it was changed as English pubs started to show matches on foreign networks.
Give me one single argument for doing such a thing, I don’t understand it. Ok, smaller clubs might have less people at the games if the game is on TV, but what if let’s say United and Arsenal both play at home at three? Makes absolutely no sense. Wouldn’t be surprised if the decisions are made by people older than my dad.
And Kate Abdo. The only thing good about Sky Sports nowadays is The Debate and Hayley McQueen and Kelly ‘milf’ Cates.They also let Natalie Sawyer go.
Truly cost cutting.
Is Eleven actually a proper TV channel or will it be streamed on the net?So now us consumers will need yet ANOTHER subscription that will cost £20+. Sky, BT and now Eleven?
An absolute joke. Offcom need to do something about this.
After this it'll be pay per 10 min slot with various pricing for quality of stream. Or basically it will be like dodgy stream now only paid for!It'll be pay per game at this rate, each game costing roughly the price of a match day ticket!
Do BET365 stream every game from those leagues?I sort of understand these posts for people who just watch Football all day and want it all under one roof but my main conclusion from this is just go to a live game even if it's just your local non league club.
Mind you I'm one to speak. Bet 365 streams games from La Liga (and Segunda), Seria A + B, Bundesliga + 2, Portugese league, Dutch league, French league, MLS, Turkish league, all the South American leagues and also the Scandanvian leagues during the summer.
Ironcially the only Football I can't watch on there is any of the British leagues although they do show the FA cup games.
Yep. They show all Spanish games (as they stagger their 10 fixtures across the weekend. Show all the Italy 2pm games on a Sunday aswell as the Saturday and Sunday night games and same with Bundesliga.Do BET365 stream every game from those leagues?
He'll probably be offered a pay increase to join this random channel and take over their Spanish punditry. I wonder what he'll choose.Poor Ballbag.
A bigger loss than losing both La Liga and Champions League.They also let Natalie Sawyer go.
Truly cost cutting.
His day job is still a journalist for one of the Spanish sports papers isn't it?He'll probably be offered a pay increase to join this random channel and take over their Spanish punditry. I wonder what he'll choose.
MONEY OR SKY?
Guess which Betting site shows pretty much the whole of the ATP tour....I don't watch much of La Liga, but will watch the odd Barca or Madrid match. I'm lucky that my parents pay for it, but if I was, I'd probably just cancel Sky Sports now and just pay for BT.
I also watch a fair bit of tennis and they recently lost out on rights for the US Open and they won't cover the ATP tour from next year.
I'll probably subscribe to Amazon Prime next year for it.Guess which Betting site shows pretty much the whole of the ATP tour....
Better then ten sports, but don't cut the mustard when compared against twelve sports.
I just use the website, small screen in the corner. Can be a little hard seeing if the ball has gone out or not but can't really complain. You do get commentary for the grand slam events.I'll probably subscribe to Amazon Prime next year for it.
You can't watch Bet365 on the tv and no commentary, I assume.
Yo, DM me please. The one I used to use got shut down.Makes no difference to us shrewdies that pay £10 a month for IPTV and get the full shebang.
Is this NBC online package?It's an absolute joke, in America and Canada it cost $49.99 for 250 Premier League matches for the 2017-18 season, which includes all of the 3pm KO's.
It's a topic for another thread (I can't seem to make a new one) but I think its about time Saturday's 3pm KO matches are shown on TV. The argument that it would stop fans attending matches just doesn't wash with me in this current day and age, especially for clubs like united who would fill the stadium regardless.
Fans are literally being made to pay through the nose and the costs keep on rising whilst we get less and less football for our money and more sh*te like 'the Debate' show or whatever it is called with its hyperbolic debate topics. We are literally paying Craig Bellamy's wages to sit there and discuss football at the expense of watching live matches.
Back to my original point, it is a joke how much spectators get in the America's for a fraction of the cost, something needs to change.
EDIT: NBC cable subscribers get every single live premier league game, whereas subscribers to both Sky Sports and BT Sports get just over half the amount of games.
IPL is popular in the UK, international events like PGA and boxing will pick up a lot of viewings too. There's not much of an incentive to watch foriegn footballs when we have 2 incredibly competitive and exciting leagues here.I wanted to meant sports leagues from other countries, sorry. Not clear enough. Will edit my post.
Ratings are down because United ain't winning.About a week ago Sky and BT were said to have bid around €5m each when La Liga were hoping for around €25m.

Been trying to find viewing figures out of curiosity but it's surprisingly hard to do. There's something called BARB that has figures but they don't give everything out unless you're a member/involved in the industry from what I can see. Some bloke on a forum who says figures are from there reckons Real v Barca can get 700k, some other games involving one of them get 100k and for most matches in general it's between 20-75k.
If true more people watch the Championship than La Liga outside of that Real v Barca fixture by a considerable margin.
These are the Scottish football viewing figures, and every Rangers and Celtic match would be competitive with or beat the non El Classico Barca and Real fixtures. Got them from this blog. Less SPL games are shown, but they're not exactly coining it in - £15m a year. I'm not in the industry but I'd imagine it makes a difference to advertisers whether fans of the actual teams playing are watching or casual observers. It's probably easier to sell something to a Hearts fan watching a Hearts game than a Everton fan watching Villareal vs Getafe, more emotional investment.
Premier League ratings were down the other year, if they still are then I imagine there's a general slump across all leagues. I'd guess a large chunk of that will/would have been Kodi and other streams.
I would doubt this. I'm sort of a Grimsby fan (I used to have a season ticket when I was younger, I don't care about them any more, but I still sort of follow their results) and our gates have remained pretty much completely consistent over the last 20 years. We tend to get about 4-5,000, and then 8,000 for a big game (I use the term 'big' loosely). That was the case in all divisions from what is now the Championship, which we were in when I was a teenager, to the Conference, sorry 'National League', which we were in for several years recently.Ok, smaller clubs might have less people at the games if the game is on TV...
Smart by Sky. I don't think there is anywhere near the hunger for La Liga as there was a few years back. It'll be even less when Ronaldo and Messi leave the scene.
The $50 is extra this season, in addition to the requirement of having a cable/satilliete sports package that includes NBCSN to begin with. They call it the gold package or some nonsense. So basically, it used to be that if you had a cable subscription to NBCSN, you could also stream every single PL match online, since even across the varying NBC networks, they didn't show all matches on TV, especially the smaller market teams didn't get much air time on the cable package.Is this NBC online package?
Because the TSN and sportsnet packages show all games but coat over 100 dollars a month if you want all channels.
Which is why I stream with iptv. Sick of being ripped off.
They don’t seem to add anything though, in recent years all they’ve done is lose content (Prem League, Champions League, La Liga) whilst rising subscription costs. BT seem to be taking boxing more seriously, they’ll lost that next.Saves money for content that people actually want to watch? The viewing figures must be bang average for them not to shell out such a tiny fee.
Honestly the sooner an Amazon type establishment comes in and takes everything away from them the better.
