This is no different from years ago when we all sat listening to the top 40 with our personal tape recorders.
Everybody has copied a CD, and it is so easy to record all the latest from Spotify.

It is purely personal choice, however but if it's free it tends to be a lot better than if you had to pay for it!.

Just saying.

How are you watching them if not streaming, legal or otherwise?


There is a difference.  The website that shows the content is the one who is streaming it.  Peopl
E who watch it are not streaming it, they are watching it on a website. Companies like Sky are only going after those people who stream the content for people to watch.  With over 5 million watchers it is not worth their while to hunt them all down.  Also, all my research so far confirms that not one single ‘watcher’ has been prosecuted for watching streamed content.

I honestly don’t care about people pirating EPL games etc, billion dollar companies which are working against smaller clubs like ya aren’t exactly the kind of people I’m sitting there being upset for. But hearing excuses as to not spend a minuscule amount of money helping your local team out vs purposely buying a service which pays nothing to the club when you actively have a reasonably cheap legal offering is bizarre. I’d understand if it was the cost of a Sky subscription but it’s half the price of a ticket to the game on a Tuesday night.

Thing is, you only get weekday matches on iFollow, you cannot view live matches on a Saturday afternoon.  I have already stated that I cannot attend any matches, anD the amount of money I have paid into GTFC over the last 56 years or so leaves me with a clear conscience.

Can’t wait for Ian Holloway’s budget next year, apparently he’s being given special permission to spend the gate receipts of games played 56 years ago.

If you know how you can get the Saturday ones too through iFollow. Bit of a grey area but the money still goes to the club. I live up in Scotland so it's a bit unreasonable for me to travel 6 hours to Cleethorpes and back!

That’s still you breaching copyright you muppet. Morally it’s like sneaking in without paying.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Theft from who?  I am not streaming the matches.  Also I would like to see how anyone could prove it.  As for rob giving my data to a third party, he would be on dodgy ground re the Data Protection Act.



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.

That is the very definition of streaming. Only you are streaming it from an illegal source, albeit as a third party.

Anyway, as you say, it's up to the individual, so i will say no more...
