We appear to have a league game on Thursday.

Although I like the Boxing Day format, just choose the game you want to watch. Which is how it should be

I can never understand it, I know the 3pm kick off rule thing but sometimes on other days there are games on simulationulsy that you can't watch.

However the rest of the world does. If they gave you the option to pay to watch them I am sure it would cut down piracy.

The blackout rule is completely anachronistic. No other country does the same, and, I'm sure I've read that, there is no evidence that 3pm Satursday broadcasrs would negatively impact on attendances lower down the leagues.





and, I'd happily pay £5 per match to watch at home and avoid all the unnecessary business of attending matches. I'd pick and choose which ones to attend in person, of course, and let those reds have a stab at tickets.

I simply don't believe that there are Doncaster Rovers season ticket holders who would stop attending home games because Man U are on the telly. I just don't think football fandom works like that.

I find it far less stressful to attend than watch on television, for some reason. Probably because there are mechanisms of letting off a bit of steam. Calling Xhaka dreadful things and booing constantly, for example.

Actually, that's true. Although one of the things I quite like about our current awfulness is that it's almost relaxing watching games where it doesn't really matter what happens. Games back when every point counted were almost unbearable.

Actually yetserday was horrible because it felt like it mattered again.

I can't cope with the stress.

Freddie 'Unbeaten' Ljungberg's record is intact imo.

Mid-table Jealousy Syndrome.

Oh to be a mid-table club where you don't have to win all the time, and four points out of every nine (WDL) is comfortable.

Trouble is we're going at about two points out of every nine. :goingdown:

You had me vaguely interested for a second there, so I looked at the league positions and we're currently 8th, only one point behind 5th place. However, there are only 7 points between us and relegation!

Putting to one side the unlikely event of us being relegated, that's a pretty savage indictment of the standard of the PL outside the top 4.
