What's your view on the new TV football deals? Reviews

Ever since the Premiership began in 1992 Sky have been the major player in Live Football on TV and I have welcomed that because they after all paid all that money to secure the rights to show these live games and that should be the end of that but apparently people think they should be able to affect something that they are not even part of like ...  Read the complete review

Lets have a minutes silence for Barry Took, Ladies and Gentleman.Without this warrior of filler TV would never have been gifted with?whoops ive lost my trousers ...  Read the complete review

.....could be how much we pay if the current system continues! It's bloody ridiculous if you ask me. The old deals were bad enough, but the new ones? What is the world coming to when the chances are we might not even be able to watch the next world cup? And then there is the whole pay-per-view fiasco with digital TV. ...  Read the complete review

I think that it is now becoming impossible for the average person to afford to watch football on televison. All the top football is going to commercial stations, and particularly Sky and OnDigital- the problem is most of us including me have not got the money to pay for this. Now that BBC has lost Match of the Day, it makes you wonder how long ...  Read the complete review

Amidst the news that surrounded the announcement of the new deals for English Premiership football matches from 2001/2 onwards, many people failed to notice the ramifications of the deal that was struck for the other main divisions of English football - currently the Nationwide League Divisions 1, 2 & 3. If you followed this particular ...  Read the complete review
