We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I know a lot of people on here use First Row to watch matches on here. I myself have used it several times.Apparently the Premier League is pushing for ISP's to block the website.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23004880I'll be really disappointed if it happens, although there's hundreds of similar websites.

Jase 43,479 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrAV_Eu-MK4Will be gutted if that happens! It has been a site that has worked well for me when it comes to watching matches!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJames 729 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 But that's the only place I use Now if the freaking television stations always showed the matches that wouldn't be a problem but they don't so they should leave firstrow alone *sulks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_President 404 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 they will block this site, another will pop up straight away.. happens with piratebay and many other sites. No need to fear. I actually only use that website for saturday 3pms as there is no other way of watching them but i watch all other games through Sky because it's in HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well perhaps they should show all the matches themselves then most people would watch it that way. I would be more than willing to buy a premier league pass similar to what they do for the NBA and NFL to watch any game when you want.And its no big deal they will just shadow the isp.The piratebay has been blocked for ages, yet there are 200 proxies.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I will just continue to watch through my good old cable box, where almost every game is live and in high definition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I honestly don't get why they don't try and make money from it. They know that most big football fans watch these streams, the majority of whom would be more than willing to pay 100 quid a year for proper coverage of all the premier league matches online. It wouldn't damage the ticket sales because people will still go for the atmosphere etc. And they could even exclude any matches shown on sky to avoid them getting pissed off by it. It's a win win. The cameras and commentators are already there. The demand is definitely there. Seems like a no brainer. Baffles me in this day and age with all the technology and hd and 3D etc, that they can't show all the premier league matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Why don't they just stop being wankers and make every sports channel free? Just because I'm too stingy to pay for sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffles me in this day and age with all the technology and hd and 3D etc, that they can't show all the premier league matches.I dont see a logical reason behind not doing an international league pass either!For instance, NBA has two types of packages. One that offers all access to every single game for 249,90 dollars (but the amount of games is way bigger than any football league) and another that gives access to all games from one specific team for 129,90 dollars! I dont even need to say that both packages are big hit with the NBA (and it is not only in the NBA). Not only it supply the internal demand, but it lets people from countries without ESPN ir Fox Sports to watch the games of the sport they love...The FA can do it, they have the money to invest in a decent server to make all of this possible. I bet it would be a tremendous success that would be lucrative to both the clibs and the association. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 firstrow is one of the few places who don't charge anything. but it's like the time mininova torrent site was closed. if one closes, 2-3 others will come up. I doubt the Premier League can do anything to stem the rot completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I paid the past couple of season to watch EPL online, similar to first row but of course in HD. But now that US is going to have pretty amazing EPL coverage next year I'll be able to watch everything via cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky NZ has lost the rights and somebody else has picked them up.We have to $150 NZD a season to watch all 380 PL match, (even four matches at once on the same screen lol). http://premierleaguepass.com/I don't know how common this is around the world, but I think its a great idea!
