    O/T:- Freedom Of Speech Supressed

    Don't say anything about the Premiership, as the BBC don't like it. I replied to a story about Relegation and Champions, and below is the email I received...

    I'm guessing this is the topic you posted on:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...s/cp8y7rj8md6o

    If it is, it's hard to argue with their decision. Your post had nothing to do with the discussion and was aimed at taking it elsewhere. I actually agree with the main sentiment of what you posted, but I can see why it was removed.

    In the contract all the media companies have signed with the premier greed there are clauses preventing them from publicising criticism, it?s not just the BBC. Several journalists have been banned from games.

    This has to have been one of - if not THE most boring Premier League seasons ever. A one horse race at the top for pretty much the whole season, whilst the relegation battle never realistically involved more than 4 teams and is now effectively over with 9 games still to play.

    I'm getting concerned because I haven't had a post removed by the beeb for a couple of weeks (so have avoided the raised eyebrow treatment from Mrs Mouf). Mostly they have been aimed at Man City cheating their way to years of titles. Unfortunately those ******** (my asterisks) a Norton keep mucking about with my IP address so can't log on atm.
