You missed it. Maybe 3 or 4 days ago the guy with the Crystal Palace avatar said just that down to the quote. That it makes good business sense not to get BT Sport. It has been my favourite moment on the forum so far due to the sheer level of lunacy attached to it. And all his cronies came right in and all backed him up of course. Read back through my post history because i responded to it a couple of times. You simply missed it, but thankfully you acknowledge you must have missed it so no worries. just responding to your post to confirm i've seen it.

I am never wrong about any matters to do with football broadcasting so please do not inform me I have got the wrong forum though because it's annoying. I'm not stupid, I know which forum is which :D

We are getting fed up of members using the report post button simply as a means of feuding with each other and are not far off using the infractions system to put a stop to it if you can't stop yourselves.

This thread is temporarily closed so you all get a chance to read this warning without it vanishing off the last page.

BT Sport looks very professional based on what I've seen from that stream. Not a playout cock-up in sight!

And then Helen Skelton came on. Thats worth the £15 a month for it alone.

Except for at 8pm in the evening she was telling us what was coming up on BT Sport "this afternoon"

I do have to say that everyone needs to calm down about this.

What may have happened is as follows:

1. VM 'accidently' put a board up on their TV platform indicating that BT Sport is coming soon. Bomber AF reveals the strategy. This leads to BT deciding that VM has breached the confidential agreement reached between them and reneges on the arrangement to provide BT Sports on 1 August. After all, VM viewers had become convinced that they would get the channels from day 1, so they were not inclined to jump ship to BT.

2. Then there is all the hysteria on this thread about how dreadful VM are for not bringing us BT Sport, with people threatening to ditch the platform. This just encourages BT to wait a bit longer in the expectation that those who are impatient will come over to them. BT have nothing to lose by waiting.

So perhaps we should all just shut up about this and calm this thread down. While BT see the amount of anger on here it will just keep the interim window open to try and get more customers.

So if anyone on here really is thinking of jumping, could they please do so now rather than just whingeing on about it. Once the thread calms, perhaps BT will relent. But not before, IMHO.

If you really want the channel here before the 17th, Mum's the word. Ignore the agitators that are just trying to stir you up.

BT are clearly picking a fight with Virgin over broadband. I support Virgin fighting back. The only winner is Sky who BT claim to want to compete with. They've picked the wrong battle. Keep up the good work Media Boy.
