    Referee is having a complete mare here. Demotion level performance.

    Brad Friedel is great bench muscle.

    VAR has somehow made the errors worse.

    I mean, since he plays for my beloved blue boys I can appreciate the Thiago Silva hail mary dive, but if I were a Spurs fan I'd be putting my head in the freezer.

    I was only half watching, did the referee blow before the goal was scored?

    Both sides have been fucked over by mental decisions, so all is unfair in love and war.

    It really is criminal that Arsenal haven't managed at least one signing yet when it is clear the squad needs significant reinforcement.

    We're only on the 23rd and everyone knows that last moment January signings are always successful, so you'll be fine.

    Ziyech is pretty much just a left foot, but it's a good left foot.

    Some of his crossfield balls are dreamy.

    Fuck you Spurs. Go home. 1 win here in the last 70 odd games, and about 34 mental meltdowns in that time.

    Only went to the 9th taker on each side, pretty tame for an Afcon shootout.

    Sky Sports Mix. Nigeria in their worst ever kit. Chris Samba on co-comms. His voice goes very well with my Sunday night ironing.

    Is it just for me that the picture quality on this is really shit? Like even the Sky logo, the scores etc. but only on this channel for some reason.

    No, but if you like to watch sport and have the financial means it's a pretty good investment.

    Unless it’s the EPL it seems. Every time you lot are on about a game it’s on BT or Premier. What’s the ratio these days?

    My stream of Tunisia-Nigeria on beIn sports has just cut to a "commercial break" at about the 25th minute. I'm assuming the game itself hasn't paused but that they're just choosing to show commercials instead. What is this shit?

    If you have an decent internet connection and a little bit of knowledge of where to go, you don't need anything else and you can pretty much watch any sporting event going.

    You can blame the keeper but he's hit it so hard and it's got a wicked knuckle. Great goal.

    It’s never that handy though. Fucking about with pop ups and abrupt endings. If you’re into something then pay to watch it properly.

    Even if you have a decent connection it's often a faff and/or shit. You're paying for the convenience to be able to watch whatever football you want with no fuss, except the "whatever football you want" bit isn't really true.

    I don't want to have to worry about searching the web or knowing where to go. I want to walk up to my TV, press the 'on' button and have the game on the screen in glorious HD with zero chance of it buffering, cutting out or the authorities getting to me.

    What else am I going to spend the money on. It's like a decent pair of trousers per month. It'll only stop being value if/when they lose more rights, but currently 70% of the football and nearly 100% of my other favourite sports are there.

    My Sky Sports is 2 packets of fags a month. I used to buy 35 packets of fags a month. I’m watching the NFL now with zero hassle, not a chance I’m fucking about with a laptop with an ad covering half of it.

    I use my mate's Sky Go and then got a BT Sports pass for the Champions League.

    Also can't be arsed with the faff of streaming. My internet connection is good but that's not the problem. It's the streams themselves that go down.

    MotoGP's video pass works out at Ł13.95 a month. It'd be the only sport I can give undivided attention to.

    That’s only for free streams. I’ve a paid for IPTV, has all of Sky and then football from around the world. Works great, has a list of channels, sorted into category, such as Sky Sports and BT Sport, it even has a generic ‘Premier League’ one, which gets changed each game day to links to the game.

    I have one too, and it's pretty good. There's been 2 or 3 times over the last few years when it's failed me on a big match and I've had to scramble around for a stream, but 99% of the time it works well. And I only pay Ł40 per year.

    What's the legal position of IPTV? Sounds a bit sketchy really. Is it not just the same as saying your car runs fine on red diesel so why shouldn't you use it?

    That's where it falls down for me. I have no qualms about using illegal streams particularly (although I rarely do as I don't really enjoy watching football on TV at home all that much) but paying for access to illegal content is not on my to do list really.
