Are the day's of live football on council telly a thing of the past?

Question

With Sky getting the rights to show live Scotland games, and the BBC only getting the highlights package. Are we all being subtly pushed in to getting sky to view games. Irealise we will still get free matches on ITV but the BBC used to be our main provider of free games.

Answer 1

the fcuking BBC should put a decent offer in cause we pay good money for that shite and a never watch it anymere since they sold neighbours!

Answer 2

yeah, unfortunately.

I've been pushed into getting virgin media for sky sports and setanta for the first time this year as I'm planning spending less time in the pub and will only get to 5 or 6 league matches this season.

Answer 3

lol yes, maybe the odd CIS/Scottish cup game but definately not league games (just highlights)

Answer 4

Seems to be that way.Looks like Sky have the most money,and that's the thing that will get them the games.

Answer 5

It's getting that way,the only one you can depend on would be channel 5 (you may laugh ,but they show friendlies,internationals,uefa cup games,dutch football,south american matches and a couple more overseas leagues)

am sure they could make a bid for the rights to buy the tv rights for all Scotlands games

as i believe 5 for sport to be better than 4,3,2 and 1(as they've gone rite down hill)

Answer 6

when u r a rich bass like me,we dont really care about the poor mortals.i have sky so hard cheddar and get to the games like me anyway

Answer 7

it is like everything else today money talks and sky seem to have more
