If sky has the rights to certain live games, there is nothing anyone can do, apart from either paying a subscription or nipping down to the local to watch it. It isn't just Scotland and Wales, England are also on Sky on wednesday night. I cannot watch the game, as I don't have a subscription to Sky, or cable.

I just accept this is the way things are done, why can't the moaning buggers accept this too. :rolleyes:

I will just catch the highlights at some point, and in the meantime rely on radio for a live broadcast. It's better than nothing.

You can moan as much as you like, but if Sky has the rights, there's bugger all you can do.

Snippet:-



Absolutely no mention of any other Home nation... OUR money so people can watch England while the rest of the Home nations have to pay to watch our teams.

I think the point trying to be made is that the BBC has only successfully bid for England home games. This peeves off a lot of scottish, welsh and irish license fee payers, as it does england fans who have to watch away games on sky.

And I'm peeved at not being able to watch England, whether that's home or away, the venue matters little to me. I can't watch England because Sky has the rights, I accept this, I'm not happy about it, but I accept it.
