I was at the Etihad at the weekend and I said to my son I’m expecting my phone to tell me City had scored whilst watching live before they actually had

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.

Said we had to do it.. to keep us clean"


Crass.

Just leaving this in the media thread for the next time you hear or see him on BBC/TNT.

Strange that because when ever I see him, all I think is...

What a massive cock he is.

David May and Wes Brown also spring to mind

Phil Neville lol

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!

This is why you should never bet in running or in play, they have a delay to 'live' sport for betting purposes or so I was led to believe anyway.

It's really not, it's an argument put forward by gamblers as an excuse as to why they're not rich.

There was a time when any player who put on the rag shirt was automatically selected for their country.

That's true but I think it has as much to do with (eg) the weakness of the England manager's position as bias.
Every one off them is under scrutiny from the media. None of them, in my lifetime, has ever had charge of a truly great team.
Therefore, knowing the team would be likely to slip up - and when they did, the press (especially England-s mob) would be all over them with "how come [insert good player fom unfashionable club here] is picked ahead of the latest Yanited wonderboy?", they tend to keep themselves out of the firing line.
It's no coincidence that England are doing better at a time when Utd only started one Englishman on the field and one more on the bench in the Manchester Derby.

Real Madrid may decide to trigger 23-year-old Norway striker Erling Haaland's Manchester City release clause when it comes into play next summer, which is believed to be around 200m euros (£174m). (AS - in Spanish)

Of course, now that they don't want Mbappe, this will be reported on a daily basis for the rest of the season.

Didn’t @tolmie's hairdoo say there wasn’t a release clause, and it was all cartel media hope reporting?
