    So what are peoples thoughts on this.

    I know many on here obtain content from this Internet lark with the aid of a magic stick of fire. Presumably at some stage if a streaming giant comes on board like DAZN then they are going to attempt to secure their IP. To be honest I have no idea if that is feasible

    Part of me does have divided views. I certainly enjoy the ability to see the 3pm kick offs, I certainly think away games should be made available 

    But at the same time do we pander to the armchair fan too much. It will, in time, categorically start to impact on match day attendances. Nothing beats live in the stadium football, but I promise its not really worth 4 hours in the car and freezing your nuts off. But that would become the norm 

    For the EFL does short term gain become long term pain 

    Gotta wonder how that would affect the iFollow crew...

    It's not an argument about free speech, though is it.

    Not really.

    Its whether what he said broke the terms of his employment at the BBC, and it was found that he did.

    Clarkson said something awful but he said it in an article for which he is employed and which had been reveiwed and published by his employer, so he couldn't be sacked

    Well he tweeted his thoughts on his own platform - his personal account on Twitter, - not on the BBC. 

    That is a violation of his free speech, no? 

    The calls for objectivity and impartiality (from the BBC) would be a little more credible had the current chairman of the BBC not himself previously donated £400,000 to the Conservative Party and had also facilitated a loan (of around £800,000) to the disgraced former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
