  1. To be fair their deal with the MLS means that for a very few select games are available free of charge to everyone, another few are available for free to Apple TV+ users, and the rest you have to subscribe to the MLS app which you can only get via the Apple TV, possibly in conjunction with having an Apple TV+ subscription. They will likely go for international rights as well, in as many markets as they possibly can. International rights are largely sold regionally and usually mean any game can be see, especially in the North American market. The domestic market is more complicated. The games are sold in packages, and no one TV provider can have all the packages. You obviously can’t have 3pm KO’s either. With the EFL wanting to scrap the 3pm KI blackout in their deal, which comes up for bidding before the Premier League, then you would imagine the Premeir League would also sell the 3pm KO’s which will require a change in the law. You think someone like Apple may also press their luck and try and get the law changed about having more than 1 broadcaster. If they do though you would think there would be a law put in place to make sure that the prices must be competitive/reasonable. If Apple or someone similar does gain the right, you’ll probably see like what Amazon have done with the stats and such, alongside possibly be able to watch games/goals from other games in game. For what it’s worth though, Apple have just brought out a documentary about the Super League.
  2. Not sure I think the death threats are real. It seems to be a recurring event that owners when under pressure at clubs come out and say they aren’t attending games because of safety fears ahead of protests. We had it for years with Ashley, and other owners have said the same. It seems to be tactic they use now to start pointing the finger to fans and taking away their credibility to protests.
  3. Shame NUST gave that money to charity, we could have went and finished the job.
  4. Looks like his face has been merged with Harry Redknapps.
  5. If you are saying Chelsea and Liverpool can get in the top 4, then you can’t rule them out either.
  6. It’s also £50 for a year, well below the price of Sky and BT.

    Joelinton

    Take the driving ban, pay the fine, and above all learn by it. He should not have done what he did but going his readings it doesn’t seem to indicate that he spent half a night in a pub and went home.
  8. Nah, if you get a result in the 1st leg then they’ll throw out their 1st 11 in the second and proper go for it.
  9. What next, a £10m player transfer fee cap for all clubs except pre-2010 Premier League Champions, exemptions for Spurs and Liverpool? It was all just a bit of fun when they were buying football and selling behind the backs of everyone else.
  10. We got 2 yellow cards in quick succession. The 1st one was justified in my option, the 2nd was harsh. I saw the attack that you were on about, and he should have let play go. I also thought there was 2 occasions where Leicester committed a backpass.
  11. Referee’s wearing NUFC strips.

    New U21’s coach? Didn’t he do coaching after playing?
  13. That’s not where he lives, at least it wasn’t when I was working for a company who delivered his new carpet that needed a crane to be lifted into place.
  14. This, he lives in a nice house in an alley behind Front Street. He’s had loads of cars over the years from Aston Martins, Porsche etc.
  15. Scotland is like that in my option. You can go somewhere and theirs lovely stone buildings etc, next thing you turn a corner and they have ugly grey houses with the shitty red borders around the windows and looks bleak as owt.
  16. I’ve not been to Leeds itself but in Yorkshire, Sheffield aside, everyone seems to support Leeds. In Doncaster there is plenty of Leeds fans there, and I’ve said in the past, loads of our fans there, in fact when I was there last weekend there was a father and his son wearing a Newcastle shirt playing football on a bit of grass literally outside of Doncaster Rovers’ stadium. On a non-match day you’ll likely see more Newcastle and Leeds shirts than Doncaster Rovers.
  17. Same. The Premier League is not his level, the level that we want to be at is not his level.
  18. There were a few games later on that had a similar atmosphere, and I believe they send out scarves for the Portsmouth game which also had a similar feel. They should be pushing where people can get a scarf from, be if the club shop, Backpage, and I have noticed that People’s Price in Newcastle also has them for sale.
  19. Was he? I can’t remember hearing much of anything about him before he was linked with us. Maxwell Aarons was the one who was rated highly. He’s shown nothing during his time here to be anything other than he was, a cheap buy for Ashley to cover a hole in the squad who was young and who he hoped would develop somehow so he could sell him on. He’s not up to the challenge and I can’t say he would even do the job for any decent Championship teams.
  20. Not sure it was to be honest. We had 3-4 1st team starters today. Ok the team we put out should have still been able to win and would have done if we had VAR or decent officials, however those who got their chance fucking wasted it.
