Don’t be fooled that it’s about granting anyone any privileges! They’d allow UK & Ireland folks to watch for a fiver a time too if they could, but the licensing agreements with Sky etc. preclude them from being able to do it. They’re just chasing new revenue streams, that’s all. Not just for the games themselves, but by keeping ‘foreign’ customers interested, they’ll sell more merchandise to them too etc.
I’ve always thought that the US (& Italian?) idea of blacking out reception within a certain distance of the ground is the best idea – so people who live a long way away can watch, including away games. Though that would be more difficult to implement in the UK, with so many clubs being so close to each other.

I imagine the assumption is that they can't get to away games (and home games). Well, having tried to get a ticket for an away game this season I realised I didn't have a cat in hells chance given my part-time (almost non-time) attendance at away games last season. So I will end up listening on Radio Leeds whilst Tony from Sydey as a front row seat for £5. Overseas fans might say if they lived in the UK they would attend all games. So why did overseas fans go abroad anyway ? Can't have loved their footy that match ? Or in the case of overseas fans born in other countries , why do they support Leeds instead of their local team ? Not sure whether they deserve this privilege ?

I’m currently in France, so haven’t had to flaunt any rules. But I heard of someone who was watching yesterday’s game in London. I’m guessing that they will do an IP address check to block UK and Ireland IP’s, so you would probably need a VPN (there are many available. e.g. TunnelBear, IPVanish etc.) to spoof your IP to somewhere abroad, if you are in the UK or Ireland. The sign-up asks you which country you are in, but doesn’t ask for an address (it did ask for a telephone number, and I have a French one anyway, but that probably isn’t significant). I paid through a PayPal account registered to an Irish address, and that wasn’t a problem.

Thought Shaughnessey looked okay defensively, but I agree with Verner in that he looks lacking in the passing department. It's like Philips - everyone goes on about his work rate and the number of tackles he makes - which is all great, of course - but his distribution is woeful. Having said all that, you need ball winners, and if we haven't got ball winners who can also pass the ball in Batty-esque fashion, then we still need these guys. My biggest rant has consistently been about Roofe. I cannot understand how he gets a game. But the biggest take-away so far is that we need time and a more consistent team selection, to give them a chance to get used to each other more. At the end of the day, I'm happier with what I've seen so far than I have been in years.

It has been difficult at the back with two left backs (Berardi and CBJ) and two centre halves (Pennington & Cooper) getting injured and having to miss games. We have started all 4 games so far with different line-ups, some having a player out of position (Anita and ayling) Bolton - Ayling, Cooper, Pennington Berardi, Port Vale - Anita Ayling Shaughnessey Borthwick-JacksonPreston - Ayling Jansson Cooper Borthwick- JacksonFulham - Ayling, Jansson Shaughnessey Anita Dave From: Errand Fivefold <errand.fivef...@talk21.com> To: "nat...@sky.com" <nat...@sky.com>; Leeds List <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Wednesday, 16 August 2017, 9:30 Subject: Re: [LU] Fulham Shaughnessey?

The first 25 minutes they pinged it about and we looked second best. Phillips in particular having a torrid time of it, then he made on good tackle which raised his confidence and he looked a different player, getting stuck in and moving the ball well. The team as a whole got a lift from this and the match was more even. Both teams however had a real lack of a cutting edge up front so all the fancy dan stuff went with no reward. We had only one shot on target (apart from Wood's offside 'goal') - a ball was played through to Wood and since he was a lot closer to goal this time, I did think he may score, but no, he tried , not very well, to chip the keeper and made it an easy save Second half Phillips had a shot from range that fizzed past, Hernandez had a awful freekick from a brilliant position , and Siaz pulled a shot just wide. Fulham were as blunt as us and I can only recall Wiedwald making one save when he came rushing out at the feet of the striker - good action from him. Fulham aslo hit the post. Perhaps the closest we came was a great cross from Dallas that just missed the outstretched foot of Wood So after 32k on saturday over 28K (great for an ordinary midweek league game for us) fans saw us pass the ball around a bit but have no shots or chances worthy of the name. Things will need to improve. Fulham will be up there at the end of the season, so a draw could be a creditable result, having said that 2 pts from 2 home games is not good enough and puts us under pressure to get all 3 pts at Sunderland Some general observations - Shaunnessey is looking like a real find, he is growing in confidence and may soon be giving TC a real selection headache. Anita is a tidy player and good at this level, but not a left back. Saiz is looking like the real deal - needs to cut out the moaning, diving, showing imaginary cards and needs to be a bit stronger but I do have faith in him. Alioski is the opposite so far he shows the odd flash of brilliance and does have a good work ethic but I think he is finding it faster and more committed than he expected - maybe leave him on the bench for a while ? THe keeper still does not fill me with confidence but it is clear what the plan is with him throwing it out, almost all the time, and generally very quickly - the defenders (and this is the 4th different back four in his 4 games) need to get in tune with him and him them. Pontus - did not notice him at all - not sure if this is good or bad. There was one great Pontus-style last minute tackle in the box last nigh, but that was by Shaughnessey ! We need to be patient - it is better than this time last season - and we need Wood to start scoring or Ekuban to get a run late on to help him out Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org FLAME WARS 'R US _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org FLAME WARS 'R US _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org FLAME WARS 'R US _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org FLAME WARS 'R US _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org FLAME WARS 'R US _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org FLAME WARS 'R US
