Re: Sky Sports
Removed SkyTV from my abode when YaYa Toure, (a wendyballer ) arrived in the Engurlish Primadonnaship on a weekly wage of £210.00, which his agent then asked if that was net. The ridiculous wages which have destroyed the sport, were largely possible because of the SkyTV deals and the players can now hold the clubs to ransom and the clubs can do nothing about it.
Rugby has some way to go before it falls into the same swamp as wendyball and I hope those in power don't just chase the dosh and put safeguards in place to keep the game real and affordable.
It would be very easy to be seduced by TV companies and their promises of a Worldwide audience and the increased exposure, but IMO the resultant outcome of watching badge kissing mercenaries selling their skills to the highest bidder and demanding transfers because the hairdryer in the changing room isn't hot enough, would be as sickening as wendyballist's wages.
Sky can stick their deal, I'd rather suck Satan's scrotum.

Re: Sky Sports
I witnessed thee most disgusting thing I've ever EVER seen on a wendyball pitch today. John Terry was subbed off on the 26th minute (his number) and given a guard of honour by his team. Mid. Fcuking. Game.
Absolutely grotesque. Kuntflaps.

Avert yer gaze Dave. Since I stopped watching Wendyballbox, I have achieved Nirvana (at least twice) and with a clear head I was able to recognise all the kuntz in the World. It's shortened my Xmas card list by approximately 100%

Re: Sky Sports
That's our Pablo Dave, if he can steal the signal, he'll add it on, he knows the more sports channels the better he will do getting subscribers & I don't think the Guarda Civil give a crap about SKY's profits.Dave wrote:No problema senor Baggy!
I rent the hovel out a fair bit so not worth getting it turned on & off, but over the winter if I've a rake of months with no renters he'll turn it off & put a hold on the DD. Had a TV smashed by 3 Icelandic Motherfu'ckers in April and was having grief getting the signal on the new TV, out comes Pablo the next morning sorts it out, sees a little interference on HD channels & reports it to the company who do our resort TV, fixed within a week, now crystal clear on all channels.
Last July mysteriously my Spanish bank account was blocked, Pablo's payment hadn't gone through for 2 months. I had to sign a non-resident form but the bank didn't bother telling me. Called Pablo but he was on holiday, told his mate what had happened, he said, no problem wait until Pablo comes back. No problems, no threats to cut you off, great guys. Anyone near Murcia looking for sports channels in their gaff, Pablo is the guy.
He is some caballero, mi amigo Pablo.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

There's a cafe bar near me called Dave's - full Engerlish, fish'n'chips and burgers supplied to Albion's finest inked ambassadors.
He's just opened another one called Dave's II.

Re: Sky Sports
Too Many Daves
BY THEODOR GEISEL (DR. SEUSS)
Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons and she named them all Dave?
Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one and calls out, "Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get one.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!
This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.
And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate ...
But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.

Absolutely Russ and you being a Toryboy, I'm sure you will insist on paying top dollar. I'm actually taking mine off at the end of August to prepare for occupation.

Quality Tender, I giggled like a lassie at parts. Your fears might be realised but not before I'm dead I fancy. You have tiny little grounds in general, limited audience compared to the beloved game of the unwashed (Sorry Gary, I know, I do watch occasionally when my mates call, almost never on my own. Believe I am to be summoned to a Belfast Bar to watch the Europa Cup this week) so massive money is a long way off I think if ever.
For example, semi-final full house in Exeter yesterday, full house 12000, makes Mexico's crowd of just under 16000 seem respectable.
It's all a bit Heath Robinson for the flash money.

With Logie & Co holding us back, it'll likely remain Heath Robinson until long after I visit my last fire.

Re: Sky Sports
According to Walesonline Sky have been outbid for broadcasting PRO14 next season.
Apparently the Irish up and coming station Eir sport have got the deal.
I know Sky only showed a certain number of games and terrestrial TV here has a giant share but if there are games on Eir sport only, then you will pay esp. us with Sky.
I assume it will all pan out but I’m not interested in another pay for view channel.
