Yes, but don't you remember the last 2 major tournaments - non-True subscribers sat down to watch the footie, and a big green screen appeared telling the world that True had nobbled other providers from showing the games? e.g. my main provider is AIS. If I tried to access even free to view channels, the screen of death appeared.

[Edit] I have several alternatives, including True ID, but True even nobbled free to view on their own True ID whilst trying to force more money out of people.
True, but it seems a little odd that True would be advertising on their own app that the games are on those other channels, if they were planning to seek an injunction against them.

Anyway, I'm not too bothered because as mentioned, if push comes to shove, the games are on BBC and ITV anyway.

And Doo. The likes of True hate Doo, but sometimes they force people (Thais) down that road.

Disappointing. From a forum moderator, no less. A Welsh one at that. Hope we're not going to be getting some trouble from yourself on this thread, Pete.

Us Celts must stick together.. :wink: Scotland have about as much chance (more so) than Wales would have had if we had actually qualified. Let's be fair, the phrase "Football's Coming Home" has been around since 1966... What on God's earth would happen if it actually did? BB et al would be lost for words!! :D :wink:

I shall now take myself aside and slap my wrist for the unwarranted outburst!! :roll: :D

Don't worry, that isn't our only song. You should come for a ride in my car around major tournament time. I have CDs full of patriotic football anthems playing :D

The Scottish have been atrocious. Offered absolutely nothing, they're lucky the scoreline is what it is.

Next game up today should be in interesting one. 🇪🇸 vs 🇭🇷. Lots of big names involved not least the youngest player to ever feature at the Euros - Lamine Yamal (16 years, 338 days) in the starting line-up. Spain awash with talent, but there's a giant of the game in Luka Modric for Croatia. Also city's Gvardiol.

Looking forward to this one.
