userabcd Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) 600 million baht is too much to watch grown men on a patch of grass running around kicking a round ball about. And when they happen to kick it in the net on either side, they run around like crazy or end up taking off their shirt and sliding on their knees and other team members run up to them, jump on them and its all hugging and kissing each other. The supporters in the stands making loud noises and using foul language. Edited November 11, 2022 by userabcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Oh please, like they would wanna miss out on the ads revenue from Thailand, SE asia has huge amounts of watchers. It's like the news nowadays is such a low level, they post this garbage. Edited November 11, 2022 by ChaiyaTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well except for that debacle in Saffer land with those silly poo-poo-zelas or whatever they're called, I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of that. Plus I was in Australia and we had to suffer that boring old Martin Tyler fella droning on and on ???? However it's now just a money game and that price tag is just silly.

However it's now just a money game and that price tag is just silly. oops, you almost said Kaffirland there! Martin Tyler, IMO, has the only acceptable "received English" voice to be found anywhere in tv commentary. Always relaxing and not like that terrible schmuck Peter Drury, who screams every time a player comes anywhere near scoring a goal. (Clearly, he is aiming to have his minor private-school voice repeated ad nauseam for years to come.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world cup, like almost all international professional sports, can viewed for FREE om vipleague I doubt many Thais know that 100 % , but I have 2 good choices from UK and Australia , which will be better than vipleague , those kind of sites are iffy at best ,buffer too much. regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there will be options to pay for it and then watch it. Pay for it! Expand Agree 100% - why should football be 'free to view' when other sports e.g. F1 you have to pay for Because any free to air productions still cost to produce. Many countries regard the World cup ,globally the most popular and widely watched event and of such great interest to a significant proportion of the Thai population that the many that cannot afford subscription channel charges should not be precluded from watching such an event. The Thai government covering the cost of screening the event on free to air channels divided by the number that would watch is very small . It’s a service covered by general taxation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
