Guest worth_the_wait Posted 4 June 2020 Posted 4 June 2020 Whilst there are problems with how to implement social distancing for the VAR operatives, I read that the Premier League don't want to drop VAR for the remainder of the season. Changing rules mid-season would affect the integrity of the competition Today, the Premier League have agreed a rule change mid-season to increase the number of substitues to be used from 3 to 5.

(free) How do sky do free to view given they have no free to air channels? Or is there some sky channels on free sat?
Chrysalis Posted 4 June 2020 Posted 4 June 2020 11 hours ago, Webbo said: Why do Sky and BT get a refund when they're getting extra matches? Some are being shown for free, but they still get the advertising revenue. Probably due to contractual terms been broken, although they still get the games they not on the agreed date. Sky had to do a sky sports pause thingy, I assume to prevent a mass exodus of subscribers, they likely already a lost a fair amount before they started that as well.
goody2028 Posted 4 June 2020 Posted 4 June 2020 Great to see amazon securing the most dullest game of the season 👍

Sky will put it on the free-to-air ‘Pick’ Channel and simulcast on Sky Sports. Pick is 159 on Sky and 144 on Freeview. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/04/how-watch-premier-league-fixtures-free-tv-sky-amazon-prime/ Premier League fixtures free on TV: How to watch free-to-air games on Sky and Amazon Prime There are 92 games up for grabs now, and here's how you can watch them By Telegraph Sport 4 June 2020 • 1:07pm Premier League fixtures free on TV: How to watch free-to-air games on Sky and Amazon Prime Free Red Nev and Jamie! Fans will be able to watch Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville on Sky Sports free-to-air as the broadcaster shows 25 games to non-subscribers upon the resumption CREDIT: EPA REX The Premier League is (almost) back, great news for football fans and certainly a welcome relief for clubs and broadcasters. The English top-flight season will resume on Wednesday June 17 with the juicy prospect of Manchester City vs Arsenal and the less-mouthwatering-but-welcome-nevertheless Aston Villa vs Sheffield United. Both will be televised. There are 92 matches still to play and fans will be pleased to hear that an unusually high proportion of them will be available either on free-to-air TV, or on non-paywalled versions of subscription channels. It looks almost certain that viewing figure records for a live Premier League game will be broken: that record is currently held by the "Aguerooooo!" Manchester derby in 2012 which was watched by 4.04 million. But which match will break it? Here is what we know so far about the resumption and what will be watchable for free. Which broadcasters have got games? Sky Sports will show 64 games: that's the 39 they would already have had and an additional 25. BT Sport will show 20 matches, picking up a further 12 games. Amazon Prime has four matches. The BBC also has four matches. What is available for free on the Beeb? For its first foray into live top-flight football since 1992 the BBC might or might not have chosen Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace, but you have to go with what you've got don't you? That looks likely to be at 7.45pm on Saturday June 20 and it will obviously be free at the point of contact. The details of the BBC's three other games are still being horse-traded among the broadcasters and football authorities. And what is the first game back? Telegraph Sport can disclose that the first Premier League fixture back following the coronavirus crisis is likely to be Aston Villa v Sheffield United on Wednesday June 17. Again, not necessarily a fixture that the neutral had circled on their calendar at the start of the season, but there will be plenty tuning in to Sky Sports for that at 6pm, ahead of Manchester City v Arsenal at 8pm. Will Sky be making games available for free? Yes, it will. It has announced that the Merseyside derby will be available free-to-air: that occasion could see Liverpool crowned Premier League champions for the first time. It will take place on the first weekend (June 20 and 21) but is still TBC. Sky will put it on the free-to-air ‘Pick’ Channel and simulcast on Sky Sports. Pick is 159 on Sky and 144 on Freeview. 25 games on Sky will be free-to-air. Is BT following suit? No, at time of writing BT Sport is not going to make any games available for free. What about Amazon? The newest entrant to the Premier League right landscape, Amazon Prime has got four matches and they are going to make all four of them available for free, i.e. you will not need to be a paying member of Amazon Prime. Gawd bless ya Mr Bezos. However, it's not yet quite clear if you will need an Amazon account or to give your details - because Amazon is not on any TV channel it will require either a smart TV or a laptop/tablet/mobile so you would be surprised if there was not some email address required at the least. What we know so far (will be updated) June 17 Aston Villa vs Sheffield United (6pm Sky) Manchester City vs Arsenal (8pm Sky) Weekend of June 19, 20, 21 Aston Villa vs Chelsea (Sky) Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace (BBC) Brighton and Hove Albion vs Arsenal Everton vs Liverpool (Sky Sports, Free) Manchester City vs Burnley Newcastle United vs Sheffield United Norwich City vs Southampton Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United (Sky) Watford vs Leicester City (BT Sport) West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (Sky)
moore_94 Posted 4 June 2020 Posted 4 June 2020 What is our bench possibly going to look like now then with 9 available, if we say we have our normal starting line up with Justin in for Ricardo then possibly: Ward, Morgan, Fuchs, Choudhury, Praet, Albrighton, Gray, Iheanacho Leaves one open space with the following first team players : Jakupovic, **Amartey**, Mendy, James (Amartey is the only one I haven't seen training pictures of) I can't see Mendy staying beyond his current contract so unlikely to be him, otherwise the following youth players having trained with the first team: Daley-Campbell, Gyamfi, Thomas, Kapustka, Hirst... maybe one of the first 2 as cover for right back?

I imagine there might be a fair bit of rotation, especially with an already congested fixtures list PLUS FA Cup games too. Another CB would definitely have been handy...

RowlattsFox Posted 5 June 2020 Posted 5 June 2020 Why do they have to make it awkward with the staggered kick off times spread over days, purely for tv ratings? or is it a more covid related situation? Limiting VAR staff for example so they only have one group of refs at one time?
