Which is illegal, you know that....you could pay the £5.99 pm subscription to IFOLLOW and listen to EVERY game...there's no excuse for theft, no excuse for breaking the law...that's what I'm saying..
Whilst not advocating the use of dodgy streaming sites, I don't because my IT knowledge doesn't go much further than turning my PC on then off, lots of things are illegal such as going 1 mile an hour over the speed limit. Have you never done that?

I'm really sick of all you 'holier than thou' people who supposedly have never broken any law in their whole lives. If you look at the opening page all I wanted was someone to get in touch with me via a PM message.. A couple of people asked questions then all of you snowflakes jumped on the thread and now we have 11 pages, how pathetic! So I'm not going to post anything else here, I am doing what I do, end of story!

Quoted from 123614
This made me laugh so much. Do you really think that most fans if offered a cheap ticket would say, "No, I'm robbing the club", if you do, then you are very naive!
Actually no, Black and White Bear I don’t think that. In fact I’m quite happy to buy an OAP ticket and will take advantage of the special offer for exiles for the Carlisle match. But these are within the financial model that our club has established. My preference is to buy my content from the club as that makes me a supporter. If you buy your content from someone else and there is no benefit to the club that makes you a follower, not a supporter. The fact is that by buying the content from dodgy bros IPTV you are undermining the club’s financial model and the more people do that the more expensive the legitimate product will become for those of us that are principled enough to insist on buying it. I expect that at some stage soon these illegal sites will be shut down (just like the pirate radio ships in the 60’s) and you will be one of the first to whinge about the price. I sympathise with your disability and hope it is taken into account the next time you are arrested for shoplifting. Or maybe you don’t do that because there’s a good chance of getting caught. BTW if you want to talk about naivety, coming on to a social media site and boasting about your ability to rip off an organisation you claim to support to people that genuinely support it sort of takes the cake.

Don’t you folk think it’s a bit harsh to be so critical of someone who clearly can’t make games? There’s no legal way to watch town in the UK on a Saturday unless you can get to the game. This is just someone trying to take a bit of joy from watching Town, I’m sure if there was legal UK streaming he’d be using that.
I don’t have an issue with people watching Town if they can’t make the game. If you can get to the game and you choose to sit at home and watch it that would be different.

If you can't get to the match, then I don't see a problem with people watching it online. I do have a problem that there are 2 ways to do it, one that costs a couple of pounds more a month but the club make about 70% of the money (after VPN fee included), and the other involves giving all of the money to criminals. 1 - the club doesn't benefit at all, you better not be complaining about budget or standard of our team if you aren't willing to contribute to the club. 2 - the service won't exist if everybody does this. I think iFollow is great. I get to watch a lot more matches than I would otherwise be able to, even if it's only the Tuesday night ones.

To be fair I think it’s even cheaper to use the VPN route, but it requires a certain technical nouse that is beyond some people. Plus the EFL are now blocking lots of VPN’s. It’s not as clear as being a straight choice between the two. The bloke has said he finds a way to put money into the youth system. Maybe an offer of some technical support may be the order of the day instead of some people calling him the worst type of fan.

It’s theft from the people who own the IP to the games being shown.
If there’s a breach of the law, Rob would be legally bound to provide the information to law enforcement.
I would be interested to see if any individual has been prosecuted for viewing an IPTV stream. My opinion would be no so really a case of scaremongering along with the ridiculous revenue stream arguement.
