I really should start going to my local junior league football matches. £3 entry. Same buzz !

if you think only premier league teams would struggle if TV money goes out of football, then you must live in an alternate universe.

Yeah, should have clarified that! But there are unfortunate souls who can't see beyond the Premier League. Shame really.

Yes, as a Championship club Rovers receive £2.5m per season and between £10,000 and £100,000 if a game is selected for broadcast. Norwich, bottom and relegated, received £98.6m last season, this season their parachute payment is £40m, 23/24 - £35m and 24/25 - £15m. So it's hard to see how a PL club like Norwich would survive with a £98.6m hole in their earnings this season.

They'd certainly struggle to attract the calibre of players they currently do.

Perhaps I've misunderstood what you meant by "Lose TV money, lose football....its that simple really" as there are plenty of leagues which barely get any television coverage and are absolutely fine.

Blackburn lost 6.6m last year......may well have been 10m plus with no TV rights, i wonder how long that is sustainable.

add to that the 4.5m they receive from the premier league for solidarity payments, which wasnt listed above and then you can see how TV money is needed at all levels

I'd only seen clips of the goals. Watched Sportscene and it seemed like everyone was having a wee contest to see who could get the most digs in at the pitch.

Funny that they didn't mention the state of say, Hibs' pitch, which has about 3 blades of grass on it.

Its the go to excuse after any cluster fcuk.

Yes, you're quite right it is £4.5m. I knew this, my £2.5 was a typo. As for the club's sustainability that is a whole other discussion which I'm not going to bore people with.

No the 2.5 was right, thats what you get from the championship tv deal, the 4.5m is additional from the premier league in solidarity payments…..

Anyone know what Henderson has supposed to have said?

not a clue......

But according to reports Gabriel has been interviewed and stated he didn't have any issues with what was said. But time will tell i suppose. its strange that there's been no leaks from players or management like in the past. Arteta also stated what is said on the pitch, should stay on the pitch.....but i'm not sure that should be the case myself.

I'm watching the ROI v Scotland game and whatever they're putting in Megan Campbell's Weetabix is clearly working. Her long throws are absolutely outrageous, make Delap's look pathetic!

From admiring those long throws to despair at pro IRA chanting...

Classy stuff ladies. Nothing will come of it of course.

So both mainland Celtic nations (Scotland & Wales) falling at nearly the final hurdle. I didn't watch Wales (struggle to watch women's football to be fair) but mates have said we got what we deserved, nothing, weren't good enough.

NB. No disrespect meant to women's football, I have got to the stage in life where with the exception of the Welsh National Team (male) I have lost a lot of interest in football.
