I always pay for Sky sports, Bt sports and Prime but now it’s getting spread over more channels Premier sports fro that crap euro nations league and soon Amazon. :neutral_face::neutral_face:

Well I had to pay Optus the princely sum of about AuD100 (~15p) for each of the last two full seasons of PL. 20-21 included the CL but last season that splintered with Stan taking the CL. It’s a really clear example of how marginal cost and the consumer surplus operate - there is no reason otherwise for it to be so much cheaper to watch PL and CL in Oz.

Prime is Amazon isn’t it?

Not when it’s Optimus.

Just when you thought Fenerbahce fans could not sink any lower…

It’s pretty shocking

:nauseated_face:

Ban Fenerbache from European competition. Fuck em! This is a country which still allows Russian tourists.

I don’t know, tasteless as that was, I still think the stabbing stuff merits their exclusion more.

As a club, if they had anything about them, should withdraw themselves from the competition…

What stabbing stuff is this?

I remember Galatasary fans being involved in stabbings years ago, but not heard anything about Fenerbache fans also stabbing people

I think it is a sad day when we going to ban football clubs because a part of their fans support a person we don’t like.

Bans are a last resort and this doesn’t merit it …but “a person we don’t like”? Really? You make Putin sound like Ronaldo.

Should that not read …a part of their fans support a ruthless dictator whose actions are responsible for the deaths of thousands of people?

In my view, what the Fenerbache fans did is no different to showing support for Hitler, with the Nazi salute or swastikas.
