Ha ya but not all of us have fibre broadband in the heart of the city... living out in the sticks means it could be a very stop/start annoying evening..

Being brutally honest the PL has nobody but to blame for themselves - if they choose to stop people watching matches in Ireland (for no particular reason) then people will look elsewhere..

Definitely not here or UK but seemingly not on the continent either

Someone put up a link a couple of pages back that had a list of the tv channels which are showing what games.. haven't got the time to look for it, but it's there anyways.

Maybe so, but the rules of the forum are that stream requests aren't allowed; and that includes requests for recipes (I mean, seriously, why bother being subtle about it. It's not going to escape notice). The question of asking if they are on international channels is also, obviously, a discussion about what channels to stream and thus is really pushing it. And given the discussion has gone for a few pages and been talked out, I think we can move on a bit.

On a personal level, mind, I agree. But gotta enforce them rules :pac:

(Oh and it's generally frown upon to respond in a contradictory way to mod warnings, so bold boy. Don't respond to this unless ye PM me....)

Will I Amnt · 17-01-2015 12:58PM

Think it's on Bein Sports too.

Delboy5 · 17-01-2015 01:00PM

Rumours of 433 today with blind in centre half...

Falcao just tweeted something on Twitter - very strange so close to the game.. I just wonder is it a sign that he is benched?

Tweeting about "David fighting with Goliath knowing the Lord is with him", very strange so close to the game alright.

Out of interest is it against the rules to talk about what channels it is on outside of Ireland? but not discussing where to watch them illegally.

Probably a stupid question but is it just talks of streams that are banned?

Of course you can mention what channels they're on, its the illegal stream links that's the problem.

Sorry mate, wasn't trying to be contradictory in any way against mods - only the PL for their stupid Irish broadcasting rules.

2 minutes on a mobile phone to send that. Wouldn't read much into it.

I presume they were just leaving the hotel or something and they were allowed to do what they wanted before that. Probably an overreaction from people in here.

I can't ever remember happening within an hour and a half of kick-off though .. Your probably right though, it's probably nothing.

Trigger · 17-01-2015 01:44PM

The Tweets and Instagram posts could be put up by someone that has access to there account.. A united employee or a PA or even their wives/partners.

They could be allowed be on their phones up to an hour before the match, depends on the rules that LVG has with his players.

I know Arsenals rules where posted in the humour thread and they have some like that..

yabadabado · 17-01-2015 01:45PM

Its a balls that its not on TV here/UK.Pub near me has a lot of the foreign stations so that will have to do.
Where is the best place to see what channels have it ,want to be sure its on before I head in?

thelad95 · 17-01-2015 01:49PM

I was always under the impression that a lot of players tweets are probably done by some office worker or as mentioned above a PA or agent.

If not, I'd find it pretty worrying that professional footballers are arsing around on social media an hour before kick-off. I know it would only take 30 seconds on an average smartphone but it makes you wonder where a players head is at.

Depending on what satellites they have set up for.. Seemingly it's not on French, German or Spanish TV either.

Really? If I have anything important to go to I'm on the phone probably until 5 minutes before. It has all their music on it presumably and you can see them with headphones getting off the bus. Hardly going to impact anything really imo.

RobertKK · 17-01-2015 01:55PM

Sure they all wear headphones listening to music...maybe on their iPhone which is an iPod with a phone.

I don't care as long as they win and if it helps them all the better.

It could be a United policy to allow it, given they give figures for social media at the Earning Release conference, to impress the investors.

CR 7 · 17-01-2015 01:56PM

I thought all of those player accounts are very obviously run by some PR person/people most of the time.

thelad95 · 17-01-2015 02:00PM

Speculating here but LVG sounds like the kind of manager who would ban social media on matchdays.

Whatsisname · 17-01-2015 02:00PM

I wouldn't think so, Ronaldo, Messi and Ibra are all ran by PR teams. Most, if not all Utds players are themselves I think

Falcao Starts!

RobertKK · 17-01-2015 02:00PM

Daley Blind was pictured yesterday on the train with his iPhone.

Evans was on his phone, showing something to Carrick.
