Winky thing means fuck all. It's us doing what we need to.I know but that’s what it is. Hence the winky thingy

Of course it is.Believing that we've sent them there so they progress, and we go on to buy them back and flip for profit is so much Stockholm Syndrome that I reckon the WHO will be getting involved
FFS. Although we appear to agree on something, why are you arguing against it or me?Winky thing means fuck all. It's us doing what we need to.
Of course it is.
It didn’t. Our people are twats. I’m disappointed too.
Yep.Got a wee bee in your bonnet about this haven't you pet?
You're arguing a point about Grasshoppers that absolutely no one has ever made or will ever make.But still faith that this is going to end up earning us money?
At the end of the day, Fosun have had the ability to invest in an open, straight forward way, and haven't.
They've had opportunities to use any of their 100+ companies to sponsor us, but haven't.
Using young players and sister clubs to invest money is less efficient than easier methods they've already ignored. It ain't happening
Well you're not giving it to them are you? Skank bastard.But still faith that this is going to end up earning us money?
Yep.
Without wanting to justify the it too much I agree with this. I'm also more likely to stay engaged if I can actually view the product and usually end up buying some merch along the wayIptv in general, or just for football? Or in a like 'piracy funds terrorists' kind of aversion?
I can only speak for me, but I can't really go to games, my life doesn't allow for it. I can generally manage to make myself available to watch the games on a foreign stream though, and so that feeling pretty guilt free about.
Watching the streams doesn't cost the club any of my cash because I wasn't going anyway. The game or two that I am able and choose to attend, I do so despite knowing I've got a stream. So streaming in and of itself isn't a barrier. Tbh I don't think in a binary choice between 'going' and 'streaming', that the latter ever wins, because they're vastly different experiences. I think those that can't go will stream, but streaming won't prevent 'going' in any significant way. And if a few do decide to stream instead of go, we've got 10,000 people on the waiting list to ensure the club still gets its seats filled. I guess I am technically stealing from South African sports networks, but then I'm also watching the adverts and helping with brand exposure.
I'm not naive enough to think it's not a 'victimless crime', it's illegal and probably largely immoral. But actually I think it's less immoral than charging a parent and a kid the best part of a hundred quid to go and watch a game of football, which is what it cost me last time I took my kid.
Oh crap, injury?Some bad news on Chiquinho I’m hearing.
What have you heard? The club posted a video of him scoring and the guy in the bushes watching the friendly yesterday didn't say anything about an injury.Some bad news on Chiquinho I’m hearing.
