But it also gives a govt (or someone with dictatorial tendencies) to take that challenging of content and untruths and use it to crack down on dissidence rather than actual wrong information because it all depends on what the person in charge decides is wrong.

The thing that annoys me about this is how it's marketed as adding competition into it and improving service In reality as all those match packages are different games it's actually just increasing consumer cost and inconvenience if you want to watch all the games. It's only competition if more...

Not entirely sure on the point you're making but I'm not saying that everyone will just suddenly say "nah, bored with that" and have a mass exodus just there is only so many new fans they can gather and keep interested and how much they'll pay, esp as you say with a major economic problem likely...

Team in Scotland called Keith. Same as the team named after William Fort.

It was like taking something one of us wrote on here and using it as expert opinion and basing policy on it. It was and forever shall be a massive scandal that should have seen people in prison.

I agree, but I think social media and bots/algorithms have made that a lot easier because it keeps people in the bubble regarding recommendations etc. What we really need is an algorithm that links to the opposite view, not the same.

It's impossible to tell the effect on viewing figures right now. I agree that after this there will likely be a massive demand after this over. However I also believe that it might be higher if it were finishing off the old season rather than starting a new one (although may depend on club and...

It may have been Mandleson's brainchild, but Campbell was the architect of how to work it.

It will most definitely get a boost for the short term as it's been gone a while (like new season boost to numbers) then it will tail off. Like me - I'm really starting to wish I could go to the chippy but if it reopened and I had it everyday for a week I'd soon become tired of it and not want...

That isn't Netflix. It's using Netflix as an example everyone will have heard of to explain what the intention is.

I hope you're OK Pipkin. We're here for you if you need us and don't be afraid to contact the professionals for advice and to help you through. All our thoughts are with you.

But it's only a bidding war for as long as people are willing to pay more for the product so they make money. A lot of people now feel saturated with football. If we have a season (or if you had you're way quite possibly two) finished by arbitrary desire more will question how much they really...

Because they assume those paying out wouldn't make a claim for money back due to the season not finishing. They got less than they paid for and would want some money back. They could refuse to pay out for this season's finishing places because it didn't actually finish which would be far more of...

We may well do but I assume the rules regarding stadium capacity/facilities etc would still need to be met, so we'd still have to have a deal agreed with someone that we could play in. Depends on if the stadium deal is based on a monthly fee or fixture based. Dunno if we'd have insurance to...

With Bolsonaro in charge it could be carnage. As far as I know he's still saying it doesn't exist isn't he. Although I'm not one to wish ill on people usually it would be quite fitting if he caught it. And don't expect their figures to be accurate - reckon a lot of those in the slums will not...

The only proposal I've put forward is we finish this season off, then go from there depending on the timescale decide to either play the 2020/21 season if timing allows or go forward into 2021/22 if we don't. Yep, utter lunacy. The other options being we either cancel this as if it never...

I'm getting some D and a vitamin beer......

Although I have been on first gen Playstation etc round a friends house just to join in but never got into it or bothered by it. Not been on a console for well over 10 years. Never seen Star Trek or Who, but have seen Star Wars, Potter and LotR again as a social thing but not massive fans. But...

I'm talking about the power of the TV companies. I'm talking about Sky etc not putting in the same bids for TV rights they have done. If they don't and no-one else is willing to offer it what are the clubs going to do? Force them to up their bids? Not going to happen. They'd have to accept the...

If you really don't get it then maybe you ought to consider whether or not you actually understand capitalism, especially in it's purest form.
