Guff football is pish

[ILikeJam]

SSN having a a major chug over the obscene 1.5b quid spent by guffball teams this summer. How is it a good thing.

Only 4 teams recieved more money than they spent

On a SSN related point...

I f*cking hate Sky News generally and have a particular venom reserved for SSN, but my Mrs wanted to catch an update on the hurricanes last night and stuck on Sky News, which rolled into a Sports update with the lassie announcing:

"RANGERS are now just 3 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership after a 4-1 win" and there ended the SPFL roundup.


I'm thinking about paying them to block all Sky channels reaching my house

Sky Sports News is appalling. Every hour it's the same 55 minutes about Nathanial Clyne's left hamstring and 5 minutes of contractually obliged 'other sports' of which Scottish football is considered part of.

I genuinely feel embarrassed that I am in some way financing this whole nonsense. Kept Sky Sports for the Lions tour, red zone nfl and cricket but I don't watch it nearly enough to justify the costs. They now have a channel solely devoted to the EPL. It's fu(king sh!t.

Must say I binned sky nearly two years now but still on basic package so we can sky+ when we are oot. Everyone should cut down the packages or bin it totally. The spfl hardly gets a mention unless it's the ugly sisters! Mobdro seems to work well!! Alledgedly!!

Just checked my Sky Account and it turns out they are undercharging me and I'm not actually paying them for the Sky Sports package I 'enjoy' . Moral/Financial Question for you. Do I:-

a ) Fess up, because it's the right thing to do
b ) Fess up, because I don't want to be hit with a big bill further down the road for the services I have used
c ) Keep schtum and if they discover it and chase me for money say "well I've nae watched it because I didn't think I had it" and hope they cannae prove I sat and watched Middle*** v Es*** the other day

Thoughts?

It's their fault for undercharging you so just keep quiet.

I was undercharged by my utility company (First Utility, the Huns of energy supply). One year later, countless phone calls & ombudsman intervention later & they still won't accept the 'it's your fault you Hun b'stards' defence.

Slightly different, they can prove you used their electric.

I can prove he watched his Sky. Its all there in post #245

First Utility (avoid the c*nts like the plague) sent a guy round to read my meter, who made an @rse of it, then wanted to charge me £120 to get the same guy round for another shot at it, then had over 25 different guesses at what my bill could be, ranging from them owing me £20, to me owing them £1000.

If anyone is with them, or thinking of changing, I can't stress enough how utterly shyte they are when they encounter a problem.

Anyway, ditch your SKY & stream the cricket.

Not sure it`s only them in the utilities market who are useless ?

i had a hassle with N-Power. Had my Gas meter changed a year back , and despite having it read twice by my reckoning , they continued to charge me by previous useage estimate. Finally I did an own meter reading thing online. And the next bill I got jumped to me owing them owing over £2k !!! First call I made to them questioning how the feck I had managed to treble my year on year useage , i got the response " well, we can give you time to pay it back ? )
I went nuts !! Imagine if I had been a weak O.A.P or the like . who might have just shut up and paid up.

Eventually got to the root of the error. They had no record of my meter being changed !! Hence the numbers hadn`t been reset on my account. ( Why they fitted a meter NOT zroed feck knows again ?!! )

Took the chunts 6 months to rectify their fault and revise my bill . Turns out I was over £600 in credit via my direct debits. ( which they kept trying to increase anyway ) So I finally got some cash back.

Pretty sure it`ll be the same withh many of the other providers as well ?
