There seems to be some controversy over this. But sod em. Rules are rules. And the 3pm blackout rule is right. So there.  If some shit fans don't like it even better!  |

The live UK games have already been picked so that's that. It'll be on live here. I'll watch us and in the background have Lester v Man City on to occasionally glance at. Which, the shit would be horrified to learn, is actually considerably more interesting . |

As if they all don't have access to dodgy IPTV or streams of the games online...
ManUre and Scouse must be the most pirated teams out there for their worldwide 'fan' base
They could always go to the game! Self entitled pricks.

I mean what was the point of signing him if they can’t show his debut on live tv?The Premier League should be ashamed of themselves for not allowing special dispensation. It’s probably the biggest footballing event of this century.

And here's me thinking he's only at The Shit because- as good as he is- it's the twilight of his career and if he was younger they'd have no chance of signing him.

Speaking of The Shit: Manchester United to have Covid-19 spot-checks at Old Trafford starting with Newcastle game - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58469827Not a bad idea considering the volume of traffic from Essex, London and the Midlands that head there every home game. |

Fucking right. In fact, the whole M56 should be fogged with disinfectant twice every Saturday. |

Generally speaking football journalists have zero empathy with the views of run of the mill football fans who drag themselves up and down the country watching their club.
They are however completely zoned in on the feelings of the glory hunting PL fans who never leave their armchairs.

I’m amazed that journalists like Jason Burt write stories like that🤔 Like you say sadly they’re in their own little world. Surely respected journo’s like Percy who work for the same paper think differently🤔 |

The vast majority of us will be supporting our own team at 3pm on Saturday and I doubt there will be a single one of us that gives Ronaldo and Man United a second thought.
Unless you are a gloryhunting armchair tosspot, no-one is likely to give a shit.

Dodgy streaming has done nothing to affect attendances and it's been going on since at least 2008.
Lower league fans aren't going to stop attending their team's matches because they can steam matches legally. Legalising 3pm broadcasts might make it easier for some League 2 fan to find a stream, but fans want to go to matches, and I'd bet that lower league fans appreciate and understand the importance of attending their games in person because of how much their clubs rely on them.
All it does is increase accessibility for fans who can't go for whatever reason. It won't create any more armchair fans than exist currently.
