Because those broadcasting rights may cost a mere fraction of what they would in the Premiership, and may therefore make an online streaming service economically feasible? No club with the overseas following the size of NUFC's has ever gone down, so there's no precedent for this. IMO it's more than worth investigating whether this would be a worthwhile endeavor. to be fair many would say leeds were as big. The Premiership's popularity overseas was nowhere near where it was right now when Leeds went down though. Plus, Leeds were never a particularly well-supported club outside of the UK.

Is anyone on here in contact with somebody who gets to go to the supporter's panel meetings? If so, would they be willing to get that person to pass on word to the club about the possibility of broadcasting our matches online for the benefit of foreign supporters if we're playing in the Championship next year? If we go down most of us overseas will no longer have any way of watching the matches, and I assume not being in the Premiership would clear up a lot of the messy TV rights issue that stops them from doing this right now. It benefits the club short term in that a ton of overseas supporters would be willing to shell out a couple hundred a year for such a service, and also long term as if we're ever to be a "big club " again, keeping foreign fans interested while we languish in the Championship will be important. Should there be any legal issues (I'm not sure how TV rights work for the Football League,) surely they could be worked around by limiting access to countries where there are no conflicts of interest? In any case, I think this is an extremely important issue for a lot of people on here, so I would appreciate it if someone could help us get it communicated to the club.

That's for sure! When was the last time we had made all subs at 61minute? That's not an optimal situation of course considering possible injuries/sent offs but clearly we tried to change the course of the game which can't be said about his predecessors. The frustrating thing is why can't he get it right the first time?

I'm starting to think that it's going to be Hull, us, and West Brom.

In retrospect, Lee Cattermole pretty much sent us down.

We didn't need to win this game, but we needed to show that we were improving under Shearer. Having seen us continue to turn in Houghton-level performances, I feel pretty confident saying that this group of wasters is just fucking incorrigible and that we're going to need nothing short of a miracle. 9

It's always easy to blame the goalkeeper.

Nailed on to be a Toon player within 3 years then.

It's an English team on English TV...it's going to be biased. It's not even implicit bias. It never is though. I remember them loving our Champions League run, Boro's UEFA Cup run., etc. I see nothing wrong with English commentators favoring English teams. Wouldn't it be stranger if they were completely neutral? You should see what commentator's' here do for Man U when Park is playing.

I think it might be Pattison

Some people seem to have a weird masochistic love affair with Given. "Oh yes! Hurt us Shay! We're a shit club, we're not worthy!"

Milan? Yeah, Milan. Stupid commentator.

Champions League really is a bit of a joke now. Might as well be a domestic cup. Apparently an English team hasn't lost a two-legged tie to a non-English team since Man U lost to Roma in '07.

what the fuck?

I lack your psychic powers, so obviously I can't argue with you on that. But even I can tell that that's a bit of a contradiction?

PLEASE NOTE: I KNOW YOU ARE HAVING A FEW RUCKS & DON'T WANT TO JOIN THE HORDES BUT GOOCH INTIMIDATING!!!! Aye, the 6 ft 4 inch yank may have hassled the 5 ft 9 inch hunchback but anyone around 6ft & he played like he was shitting himself. Yup. He's basically a big tart. I do remember him being absolutely shit with us ("Bramble with cornrows," how ironic that statement now sounds,) but I feel like he would be the kind of defender that strikers would hate to have to play against just by being fucking huge and built like a tractor. That's what I meant by "intimidation."

I told them there would be consequences.

Or perhaps he's just supporting his team mates. Or perhaps your stalking is getting infantile and tedious. What the f*** is your problem Oldtype? What the fuck is my problem? What the fuck is MY problem? I'm sorry but this is getting fucking ridiculous now I'll just leave it at that and let the absurdity of the situation speak for itself.

Or perhaps he's just supporting his team mates. Or perhaps your stalking is getting infantile and tedious. That's exactly how I'd sum up your negativity recently. Seriously? I'm the most noticeably negative person? On THIS forum? What is this "let's gang up on the easy target" day?

I guess Smith keeps going to the reserves matches because they're hoping that if he keeps watching them, he'll be good enough to play for the Reserves one day?

Holy shit he hit that one hard

Assuming he actually got a touch on it, that was fucking class from Drogba.
