I don't care if I'm not allowed to say that on here, I'm fed up of those vultures bleeding off us while they talk smack about us and hire unprofessional biased "pundits" like Keith Andrews. Hit them where it hurts.
I got rid of Sky many years ago

It's hypocritical to criticise Sky if you still purchase their packages

I see it at games where Leeds fans are very vocal about how sh*t Sky is then they head off home & watch their favourite sports channel :roll:

Not hypocritical 64. I have Sky sports to watch cricket, rugby, tennis, motor racing footy etc. I object to them using Sky sports news as a tool to beat up anyone or team that is down, which is what all news outlets do, papers, internet, tweeters, whatever. As I say, I usually enjoy watching Sky Sports News, but when they run and run and run with the same old garbage, it kinda gets on my chimes, especially where my beloved Whites are concerned :)

I have the Virgin xl package so I get BT, SKy sports and Movies included on top. I'm not anti Sky, I think they do great things like Sky Arts for example. Just don't think we should line their ad revenue anymore when they show us.

If it is any help.. I have never subscribed to any Sky package or channels.

And when I steal the matches (stream) it is usually sky that I get :)

Not keen on Rupert Murdoch as a person, a power-crazed greedy self-centred individual

His company Sky dictates the cream of football & sport in general with little regard to the minnows or the grassroots of any sport

Sky have ruined football for the ordinary fans who support their club come rain or shine

Terrestrial TV viewers are starved of live sport due to his total domination more or less

Murdoch doesn't own Sky anymore. It was bought by Comcast, who own NBC & Universal.

But since its widely acknowledged that Bielsa has a unique attention to detail i think its a bit silly of Frank to just go "yeah i can do that". 300 hours of analysis is an extraordinary amount, i doubt that thats normal.

So the police didnt entre the training ground? So Derby lied, also where did the pliers and things come from? No mention of that anywhere either.
This should certainly be followed up by the club. Blatant lies by fat Frank. :bear:
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.

I have to admit, I am one of the mugs who pays for Sky. I have the full package and multi room as well so I can watch what I want in a seperate room to the three females in my family.
Besides football, I have it for the golf and the NFL.
I've had it for 19 years and I keep thinking about at least getting rid of some of the channels but haven't got round to it.
From tomorrow, when I move house, I have to do without it until the 9th February when an engineer can fit a dish.

Stan Collymore really is becoming increasingly like a cartoon, and not a good quality old-school Viz one either. More like a cheap Honduran Saturday morning serial. But seriously, he presses play on the same worn-out, tired racism tape (ironically making an over-generalised and unjustified judgement about millions of people in the process) whilst acting with the same ignorance and prejudice in disregarding Bielsa's cultural background.

I'm no Guardian reader but I'm getting a very ugly 'Johnny Foreigner' whiff from a lot of these pundits, a lot of whom would brand me a bigot for doing little more than voting a certain way.

Hypocrisy already threatens to be the word of 2019.

There's definitely a whiff of some other agenda going on because of the way it blew up so quickly.

Also, if someone was spotted at Derby training ground in the summer, why not address it then, if the issue was really surveillance?

I like the red zone coverage because it shows the action from all the games as it happens

Reeks of xenophobia, mate. If the boot had been on the other foot, Fat Fwank would have been lauded for his dedication and attention to detail. But an uppity Argie? Outrage, moral indignation and the erosion of the very fabric of our society. Mostly from hacks or washed up ex players who never amounted to much. The real pros, those who have played and managed at the very top level shrug and say "so what, goes on all the time, move on". And not once do they mention his nationality, culture or language skills
