MOTD Goal of the month

[WTF11]

The "team goal finished by DLC is in the hat for goal of the month (and frankly I think it's by far the best of the bunch, even as a LUFC supporter!).

Vote if you can (via the BBC website, Match of the Day page).

[WTF11]

And LEEDS UNITED WIN!!!!

[WTF11]

I know I'm not the most popular of "contributors" here, but I thought the prospect of LUFC competing (and winning!) In a UK nationwide competition for the best PL goal of December might get past personal prejudice. Mayne not.

A LAW, really?

Started the thread at just before 11.00pm UK time (about 6pm Eastern standard). "Early to bed, early to rise....."?😉

Well, since you brought it up....

Since I don't live in the UK I can't view BBC highlights or vote on things like this.

Obviously a brilliant set of minds went into making the BBC such a parochial entity that no one other the UK residents can't view their material. That makes total sense since the premier league only interests UK residents.

The BBC as a broadcaster is funded entirely by the license fee which is a mandatory requirement on ALL who watch UK terrestrial TV on all channels and all streaming services associated with them.

Nothing remotely parochial about the BBC, just a funding structure that prioritises UK viewers as they pay the piper.

Btw, I recognise that a broader viewing audience for BBC output is achieved via commercial deals with broadcaster and media outlets elsewhere but they are a relatively insignificant amount compared to the funds generated by the license fee.

I would be very curious as to who they reached out to at in the US.

The prem is a large and growing audience here. In fact, I think a lot of sports fans would put it above Hockey and possibly even Pro basketball. The NBA has struck all kinds of "deals" with broadcasters and many games aren't available unless you buy a "season pass" which is pretty hefty. The product itself bears little resemblance to real basketball. Like olympic wrestling vs "world championship wrestling". It's a farce of a product. In Indiapolis we have a pro team (of which we get to pay 2% of every dollar we spend on food, drinks and lodging to support this team yet there are no broadcasts on the local TV or cable channels unless you buy the pass.

In the end, when you don't remain visible in the sport or entertainment local world you'll become irrelevant. The short sided greed eventually will lead to the team moving since the interest level drops off over time. I really could care less if they left town and I got to keep an extra 2% of my money when I go out.

Billy and Rev go to bed early. Billy is first to rise, followed by Rev about 10minutes later - after he sorts the lollipop sticks and roll of masking tape. After some spooning, Rev reads Billy 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
