KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The art of not hearing the result

There is one way you can watch football for free.

Watch the highlights when you don't know the result. However ths involves the difficult and clandestine art of not hearing the result. People radios television showrooms are a danger. I often watch Liverpool on match of the day in this manner normally an unimportant away game such as end of season when there is noting to play for.

The best I ever achieved was when working in a Liverpool office when Liverpool were playing a champions league game away. I was recording the game to watch when I got home and I managed to avoid certain people and walk past the Liverpool echo stands at the station.

No because watching on match of the day is effectively via subscription licence which the bbc pays to the clubs for showing the highlights

But all Premier League highlights are available by Tuesday online at Yahoo. The only thing that requires is an internet connection.

But you are clearly not contributing to the club's needs directly. Not like any "real match going fan" at least. Surely this has to be looked upon as semi-bad support?

Maybe we could call that kind of supporter "LFC-supporter-light" or something?

quite correct stanley

What if I don't pay my T.V license?

That's a criminal offence

The club are getting an extra 20mil next season I think due to the new tv deal. I think people (coolflames) are just looking for any reason to try and bait people.

Well duh, but does it make me less of a fan?

The club want as much money as they can get and will explore every avenue to extract more and more money. They won't be satisfied with that paltry £20m
