Eleven Sports could be in trouble

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

See premier sports have live sfa cup football
Makes no sense at all this
Need a bigger platform for the game

SFA sold out basically

Why is that despicable? Did you get BT with the intent to watch Serie A and believe that you were duped?

Yes.

 

[davek]

deserving to be despised : so worthless or obnoxious as to rouse moral indignation

I mean harsh , I’m presuming you’re a big Serie A fan then ?

Yes.

 

[Yarrgh]

Yes.

In that case you were lied to. I presume that they released you from your contract with them because of it.

To be read with a raised eyebrow and the knowledge that they're probably just a big bunch of shysters who sell on 6 month/ 12 month/ etc. subscriptions and there's probably something in the small print that doesn't guarantee anything.

BT via Virgin Media. I'd rather they covered Serie A and left out the PL games, tbh.

The Bundesliga coverage is probably the best of the deal. French football doesn't interest me one iota. I'd rather they replaced that with the Dutch League.

I bought an annual pass but have to admit I have watched only sparingly.

I find myself defaulting more to whatever French/German game is on BT, just for the convenience of watching on TV.

Eleven have presented streaming as something revolutionary when all it is in reality is a backward step for the viewer.

Being able to cast to TV is not enough, they needed carriage on Sky/Virgin/BT and if not that, then some Netflix equivalent.

I don't blame them for having a go, and expect the rights will be mopped up on the cheap.

It was clear Sky and BT were not going to facilitate them in any way and why should they.

The less fragmentation in rights, the better so in the long-run it will be a good thing as long as lessons are learned on all sides.

Good point

If you watch all of the Premier League and Championsip football across both SKY and BT on most weekends, that's roughly 5-6 matches

Who really has time for other League's once you've watched all that? Who even has the stamina for MORE football after watching it all?

1 match a week is enough, especially if it’s the quality of Everton v Watford this week.

Free* streaming says hi

*illegal?

 

[larbert toffee]

Despicable that BT stopped showing Serie A this season.

Maradonna's retired Dave.

Dave is Koemans self loathing alter ego. Confirmed.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Good. I miss watching La Liga on Sunday nights badly.

 

[stannyr]

Careful what you wish for. Amazon/Netflix will be next.

I don’t know a single person who has an Eleven Sports subscription.

I think @davek has.....I know he posted about taking the free trial anyway.

But other than that, I have never even heard anyone talking about Eleven Sports, let alone open up an account.

I took a month-to-month sub out. Ended that just after the first El Clasico.
