Ditto the first part...... but..... I'm an antisocial bugger and don't want to make friends...

 

You can still live abroad and have a UK credit card.

 

You get every game in the whole efl and premier league any time any day.

 

By a fire stick from Argos or where ever, th en search facebook for a supplier who will give you instructions on what do, will cost about £60 a year or so.

I have an erm, friend that is adamant they are generic letters and it's impossible to tell whether you're streaming football or love island.

And with the dozens of legal streaming services such as Netflix in addition to gaming broadband use is already through the roof so the odd football game is hardly likely to set alarm bells ringing on the usage front.

 

So, (asking for a friend, of course) is this dodgy Firestick business different from streaming via a VPN?

 

Anyone watching Love Island at three on a Saturday afternoon is a very poor soul indeed

 

Yes you still have to pay for the game if you use a VPN as anyone abroad does, I don’t know how much of the income goes to the club but it’s not complete stealing like a dodgy stick is.

 

It’d be worth a trial period to see what happens, even if just for games over a certain distance. Interestingly you can still watch Tuesday night games without having to resort to that so they don’t care that much. It maybe something to do with FIFA or UEFA I don’t know.

 

City were very keen for i follow to continue as last season but the football authorities want to revert back to the system before last season, which is a shame as I think we’d have sold 4000 i follow passes for Exeter away. I suppose they’re worried that with the floodgates open SKY would be hyping up Liverpool v Man Utd at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon which could affect an EFL crowd on a cold winters afternoon.

 

It’s actually a UEFA ruling article 48 which gives any association the right to block TV matches between 2.45 and 5.15 on a Saturday. However as you say the German, French and Italians don’t bother. Apparently its only the English, Scottish and Montenegro FAs that enforce it. Eventually this archaic ruling will be overturned by the clubs when they realise how much revenue they are missing out on.

 

Proper football, not a marketing opportunity.

What is this 'relly' that you speak of, sir? Is it one of those new fangled things similar in everything but spelling?

 

Have you been on the free ale already?

 

was never convinced how true that and similar stories were as various articles had same details but that it was different forces

 

same as previous pre Covid rules then

 

Whilst it’s no substitute for being there I follow is a great option for some people. Perhaps a different distribution of the money raised could persuade the smaller clubs to support it.

 

Don't think the 'smaller clubs' have the clout or the authority to have any say..

 

Thanks for this. While not alleviating my overall annoyance at the situation, it does make things a bit clearer.
