@HLTCO All so a lad can get 150k a week and not give a fuck. Get down your local park and watch the lads who pay 5 quid for the privilege of playing. There's usually beer and sandwiches in the local afterwards.
There are 380 Premier League games every season, 200 are shown on UK TV. To watch them (forget the other 180), you need 3 packages.
Sky Sports: £20/month with an existing sub, more without
TNT Sport: £30/m
Amazon: £8.99/m
= £58.99/m or £707.88/year
The market for FireSticks exists because the prices are ridiculous compared to the rest of the world, we’re not legally afforded the opportunity to watch all the games and ere forced to pay more than anyone else on the planet for the privilege. Throw that in alongside the spiralling cost of actually going to games week on week and this is an inevitable consequence of the deep passions which form a huge part of English football’s USP to a global audience.
Everyone has a tipping point, if prices were reduced and availability was made wider, piracy would be far less of an issue but they know that already.
So let me get this right, a father of two has been jailed for over 3 years for helping a load of poor people watch the football.
Whilst the BBC news anchor who purchased and downloaded 41 indecent images of children walks free on a suspended sentence?
Make that make sense!
@LBC What an idiot. He should have said his mental health was fucked from riding kids and this was his only outlet to give him some self worth. A decent barrister would have gotten him a suspended sentence and a cushy pension.
The absolute state of this ...
Jack Chambers & Hildegarde Naughten shouting over each other like they haven't been in government together for years.

@Care2much18 The most baffling thing I found about it was that Chloe had been paying €2,700 a month for her place before she was left unemployed and homeless. I then looked at Dublin rents and was utterly disgusted. Complete failure by those elected by the people, for the people.
@Lost7310@gervaisclips Yes, priceless. Sarpong and Lionel Blair amongst others in Celebrity Big Brother. Including a mother made famous from appearing on News at Ten after the murder of her son.
@Lost7310@gervaisclips It's not him. It's June Sarpong. She says something like "I haven't thrown away my dignity". Then the song comes on and they all start chicken dancing.
