Bits & Bobs

No mate. Sentencing guidelines are just that and remember this is Magistrates not Crown with a unreliable witness / victim.
If Barton had worried about trial by social media he'd have never worked in the game again after putting a cig out in an academy player's eye - but still got offers of work.
 
if all this had happened to coley and not that dick barton we all know what the outcome would be. shelf stacking for the former. do not talk about role models in the game when people like him are still in it.

Congrats to Seamus on signing a new 1 year extension on his current contract, keeping him here until 2023 - well deserved

Well done to Seamus great to see longer contracts and extension,s to current ones for players the management want to keep, hard to imagine when Seamus first arrived.

No. Saturday 3pm games are subject to the blackout again. In league two quite a few games are getting moved to Friday nights and to 1pm Saturday kickoffs.

The good news is the FL are seriously looking at how they could build on the success of the last 18 months and implement something without the PL just showing all their games on Saturdays at 3 pm and it seems what they're looking at doing is creating a difference between a broadcast and a paid stream and allowing streams but not broadcasts.

One of the things they are looking at is where you buy a season ticket which gives you access to all your clubs home games either in person or as a stream at a reasonable price but then charging considerably more than last seasons 10 quid if you were to buy on a match by match basis.

But apparently one of the things thats holding things up is that they've yet to come up with a way of making the i/follow system more secure to prevent all the pirate streams that were about. I guess it's all a matter of making sure that they come up with something that would be guaranteed to create extra revenue and not eat into current gate earnings that would be a lot harder to pirate than it was last season.

No Saturday games between 2-30 and 6-00 not quite accurate with the the times, midweek games on I follow unless on sky, Bank Holiday games at the descrestion of the home team. Papa John's trophy games apart from semi- finals and final which are on sky.
 
Quite a few Burnley fans on social media complaining about walk on prices range from £30 to £50 they are right small working class town price of being in the Premiership or new owners out of touch.

thing is football is far different than going to the theatre. the latter at the top end which premiers league football is, you,d go a handful of times at most during a full year. at burnley its 19 league games over 9 months to find money for. you can see some of their fans picking games where the club will lose out financially in the end.

thats a knocking bet at those prices imho.
 
Messi to leave Barcelona because under the Spanish league,s financial fair play rules especially following the Big Six fiasco they can't afford him at 34 years old they had a 5 year contract on the table for him to sign with his salary reduced by 50% to 20 million Euros a year in layman terms roughly £360 thousand + a week. Some players they wanted off the wage bill to accommodate Messi haven't gone so basically they can't afford him game at top level is nuts way beyond working class lads like myself and many more in this country.
 
I reckon they’ll find a way to somehow keep Messi at Barca. He’s the poster boy for la liga too. The rules will be twisted and they’ll find a way to keep him at Barca even if just for 1 more season. After that I could see him going back to Argentina for his boyhood club Newells old Boys.

He could always play a season for nothing ........ won't make a difference to his overall wealth.
