Register with any of Portsmouth, Peterborough, Fleetwood or Sunderland's iFollow to watch the relevant game. Pick the team you hate least and give them your tenner. I can't watch it because I have no TV License but I can and will be signing up for a month's audio commentary. Joey Barton won't be getting my money. Nor will the Marras. Nor will Darragh Macanthony.
Is online radio commentary available when Champions league is playing? If so, you can get local radio from respective clubs.
As my mate in Donny who didn't have a licence once said to the guy from TV Licensing when their scanner finally located him. " Why do I need a licence, my telly works fine without one."? Seriously with all the repeats on the BBC, plus all the Cookery and Antique programmes they show, they should be paying us.!
Best thing is they have the cheek to try and stop free tv licences for the OVER 75's, good grief they must be paying millions on presenters, plus i dread to think what the big boss's are on!!! !
Thousands are not paying it nowadays, I think it would be impossible to police it, are we the only country in the world that pays to watch TV ( not satelite) ? I think many of these lunatic countries also have state ran TV
Might be best way. Other week when Sunderland were playing Accrington every time I checked score Sunderland scored. It's a good job I only looked three times.
It's a good job our fate is in our own hands. I don't trust Fleetwood or Peterborough. If the game is lost then both are likely to just cave in.
True PT. A lass I used to work with ( Geeta) at Doncaster Council moved from India with her Mum, Dad and Sisters to live in Uganda when the "legendary" Idi Amin was in power. Her Dad was a high flying financial advisor and by the sounds of what she told us, they had a comfortable lifestyle. Her Dad apparently wrote an article in a specialist financial magazine and shortly after, he was contacted by an Aide of Idi's. The Home with servants and the salary he was offered were apparently irresistible. Geeta said for the first couple of years, things were idyllic, but suddenly the mood of the nation seemed to change their attitude towards Amin,probably due to his links with Gadaffi. He decided to mount a media campaign to try and turn the tide. Geeta said you could be watching an episode of " Bonanza" and suddenly, the State run TV crackled and Amin would appear at the side of his pool. He would say something like " Hello there. This is your Big Daddy. I bet you were wonderering what I was doing.? Well I'm going for a swim." With that, he'd wave and dive in the pool. The programme that people had been watching would then continue. He'd apparently do a similar thing upwards of five times every night. For one reason or another, Geetas Dad became agitated. He confided in his wife that there were things he was being asked to do, regarding Amin getting his own money mixed up with that of the State, that didn't sit well with him. She advised him that he must follow his principles and to refuse to do what he was being asked to do. He kissed his girls and his wife goodbye one morning and went to work. Presumably he told whoever he reported to, he was not prepared to do what Amin wanted him to do. This was around 1977. The family waited a week, but Geetas Dad did not come home. Her Mum had a bad feeling about the situation and asked a friend to drive her and her girls to the border with Kenya. Courtesy of diplomatic officials in Kenya and India, the family flew out of Kenya and were eventually granted the right to live in the UK where two of the girls and their Mum as Doctors, worked in Medicine. Sadly, one brief year later the head of Tanzania Nyerere and his troops overthrew Amin and he died in exile in Saudi Arabia in 2003. Geeta and her family never ever saw their beloved Dad ever again. She used to have a right go at us if we complained about the Government and our day to day lives and having seen what she'd seen in her formative years, she probably had a point.!
Don’t blame the BBC for the free licences thing. Completely the government’s doing. They scrapped licences for over-75s, making up the shortfall to the BBC. They then cancelled the free licences, ending their financial contribution and passing the responsibility (and the ensuing blame) on to the BBC.
You do. It's 'live TV' and therefore the BBC won't let you watch a game without it. https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ95 Live TV means any programme you watch or record as it’s being shown on TV or live on an online TV service. It’s not just live events like sport, news and music. It also covers soaps, series, documentaries and even movies.
