Could Have Been In Sport

[weecalf]

This might be from sport but its not sport anymore .With all this money about in soccer .What are the chances of the game going to four quarters to allow more adverts ..Just over forty five minutes with out adverts is getting far to long .Just an old mans notion of the way things are going .Remember weecalf told you .

They can do what they like for me Weecalf, there is no way I would pay the entrance fee some of these clubs are charging to see a load of babies kick a ball.

[ummmm]

It's not about gate fees. It's the TV rights being worth 5.1 billion for 2016-2017.

I've come to the conclusion that the amount of money you are paid as a sportsperson is inversely proportional to the amount of effort you put into it. Footballers are paid outrageous sums for 90 mins work and the poor darlings complain if they have to play more than twice a week. Tour de France cyclists are paid much less for riding 6 hours a day for 3 weeks. Can you play tiddy-winks as a professional?

[ummmm]

It's not 90 minutes work. They do have to do lots of training.

Ummmm, our friend used to be the Kit Manager at Blackburn Rovers, the so called players could not wipe their rss without been told how to do it.

[ummmm]

I wouldn't know. I don't know any footballers. My mate did play for Northampton but I didn't follow his career and I don't think he lasted that long.

ummmm, it's actually the cost of the tv rights for a 3 year deal,2016-19.
