It's only a civil offence though not criminal so if taken to court it's a fine no criminal record.

But if you don’t/can’t pay the fine…

Was he the lone York supporter among the 900,000 from City at York?

Think so - his whitty(sp?) retorts of 'shitty City' and 'shit team no fans' were a welcome break from the onfield action........

If they are still there in May await the attacks.

It is an offence under Section 363 of the Communications Act 2003 to watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer* on any device without a valid TV licence.

Define 'live'. If you are streaming over t'internet then there is always a lag, even if just a few seconds. Therefore not 'live'....

 

[Elbow beards]

That's fine, I choose to break the law because I dislike the BBC. It maybe helpful to you if you know how to deal with these people, but that's your choice.

But surely if you dislike the BBC then you won't be watching any of their programmes to break the law. What you really mean is, you want free stuff rather than paying for it.

That's actually a very interesting article.

I just turn on my Smart TV and the programmes appear so I don’t know if it’s on t’internet. :-)
Mind you I record most of the programmes so I’m not watching it live. ;-) *lol*

I get good programmes and so I don’t object really to paying the TV Licence. The only thing I object to is that, like all over 75s, I had a free TV licence and they took it away. :-)

What I mean is I don't watch any of the BBC, however by law you need a TV licence to watch live TV so I choose not to pay it and line the pockets of an organisation that shields pedeofiles.

You don’t fool me Eccles Blue, I see this for what it is ….. a shameless attempt to get Bluemoon members to crowdfund your TV license

There's lag no matter how you watch "live" but good luck in trying that argument with a judge.

This is very true. I was video chatting to a mate of mine that lives out in Thailand once, City were playing on Sky.

He was watching it as well and suddenly said "oh, City have scored!"
"No they haven't!"
"They have, look!"

Faced the camera to his TV, took about 15 seconds after that for City to score on my telly, and he was 6000 miles away!

* rofl* nah you're ok thanks. I pays me own way..... but thanks for the thought. *still laughing*

Judge? The courts must be busy with millions not paying!

If we and Girona both qualify for next seasons C/L especially if we both are drawn together in the same groups then that is a headache that will have no cure.

I'm not sure how it works tbh

Agreed. There's definitely lag. There's been plenty of times when I've been watching a game while simultaneously following it on here, and there's been posts about a goal having been scored. And it's over a minute later before I actually see it.

Me neither but surely two clubs with the same ownership wouldn't be allowed. If all things were equal then one club would have to be pulled to avoid match fixing allegations and which club would that be? Surely not the one most likely to win the damned thing? And then, what about the club that missed on qualification only to see the club that pipped them have to be pulled. Another headache for our dear friends at UEFA to adjudicate over.

UEFA have already had to deal with it. Villa, Brighton and Milan are all part of groups with more than one club in European competition this season.

UEFA relax multi-club ownership rules, allow Milan and Villa to compete in Europe

UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has cleared the way for several teams to compete in next season's competitions after Europe's soccer governing body relaxed its rules on multi-club ownership, it said on Friday.

Well I'm glad someone has been keen enough to research that. No doubt there will be a team of Bluemooners watching how UEFA try to fiddle their way out of this to satisfy their own interpretations.
