But you just seem to be using this website as a source for all information on anything football related. People are getting tired of it and it's just spam frankly. You want to know about Kyle Naughton, World Cup TV rights or whatever- look it up.
It's called promoting discussion mate. How do you not get that. In the case of this thread, it is political. If I was looking for just information, believe me, I wouldn't waste my time looking for it on here. And please revise your definition of "Spam."

LOL, lazy? I didn't bloody well say that I can't be bothered to look for info on the broadcast rules. Anyway, I've read that Sky were in contention for the 2010 world cup rights and failed. So that means they are eligible for at least partial rights...

Category A - must be shown live on terrestrial
Olympic games

Football world cup

And this would appear to conflict with what I read as I think this makes out that all FIFA World cup matches are to be shown live on terrestrial. Correct?

Well no it's asking for info which you could find yourself, and I'm not just talking about this thread. And you either know that and are just being lazy or disingenuous or you don't' and are frankly not very bright.

How the fuck do we know what you read, unless you post it? It could have been on the back of a toilet door for all we know.

I think they should mud wrestle naked to decide.

It would take years to get started...

"Who has the rights to televise this? What sort of mud is this? Is this traditional or American wrestling? What's the difference? Why do they call it wrestling? What is wrestling anyway? Why do we have to be naked? How do I get undressed?"

I didn't say you NEEDED to know what I read. Why would you? Even if I did read on the back of a toilet door, I'm still asking whether people can confirm it.

Uh no, I wasn't asking for info, that's what you assumed. I didn't say, "can someone please find some info for me." My question "does sky have the potential to get rights" was meant as rhetorical, because in my mind, I believed what I read to be true, so I had the answer and was promoting discussion on how the hell that could be the case inside a footballing country. I believed it to be true because nothing surprises me anymore with regards to Sky controlling football. As it turns out, they cannot get the rights which is great news. @tiger666, mate you're a troll for trying to lead me to believe the opposite was true!

Might help though, if you posted a link to what you read.

Which you could have found out for yourself. As you could with Naughton.

Look you can waste your time excusing yourself after the fact but you're getting on people's nerves around here so maybe just think the next time you try to 'promote a discussion'.

WTF? Seriously, how dumb are you? I just TOLD you that I wasn't trying to find out information! Just READ it should not be that hard.

Ahh, so you've done a survey! Great. But maybe you should provide the fucking results before making such pathetically desperate and laughable statements. And what do you mean "after the fact?" What fact?
