UK TV BLACKOUT?

With the new NFL season almost upon us ,us oversea NFL fans find ourselves in a position where we have no NFL TV coverage of the sport we have all adopted and taken to heart. Up to now we have had fantastic coverage ,over the past few years we have had double headers on SKY and then C4/C5 with SNF .The MNF has been on ESPNUK and the Thursday games have had SKY showing them.We have even had 5live extra with radio commentaries on games.
Now with season about to get under way we have NO official games in the UK .We don't even get Total Access any more. Alister Kirkwood was on TV last Winter telling us how the UK was planning to go even more NFL friendly and talked of a UK based  franchise. I feel now the hushness/secretness, call it what you like ,  of the whole situation is now starting to get the UK base rankled .
Why is being left so late to be announced one way or another? I hope they are not planning on showing MNF on another PPV channel as being rumoured. We know its not legal but are we going to be left with dodgy streaming only or is all a crafty ploy to get all overseas folk to sign up for Gamepass on NFL.com.
Going back to how it was would be a step back in time and a kick in the punters for us UK fans. How many remember what it was like Pre internet.We had a hour of highlights from the week before and sometimes if the wind was blowing hard and in the right direction and the weather allowed then you could listen to US Forces radio.

CMON DUDES GET IT SORTED ,WE WANT TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENING!!!!!!!

ShabbyShebby Sings From Venky Hymn Sheet

Having got back last Friday evening from a two week holiday on the wonderful Island of Corfu with its hot unbroken sunshine,Mythos and relaxation ,I immediately became stressed with the Venky Crazies. May I say that I took every opportunity to write on dusty windows and huge sand letters with the infamous words KEAN OUT all over Sidari.I was sat in a bar last Weds night when my hand started and pint started shaking,the wife couldn't believe it was because it was less than a week and pre kean tension had started ...it soon stopped with a big glass of Ouzo !
I returned to rumours ,giddiness and gullibility of what the dodgy geezer had to say at "open meeting". I was toldthat at the meeting Singh had said that numb nuts would be fired if he loses three in  a row and that he had called MGP a pensioner whose legs had gone.
I'm on record as saying I don't trust him as hes another puppet employed by the Lunes From Pune (I said that from the day I heard of this "pundit") . How can this employee have more power than the brothers .If rumours were to be true and they wanted Kean out after relegation, then why would a pundit off Asian Telly who apparently thrives talking rubbish and loves to wind up the viewers have more power than the Unchuckle Brothers,it doesn't add up.
He unprofessionally slagged a Rovers stalwart  and subsequently was forced to apologise. What are this new puppets credentials ? A Malaysian footballer and controversial pundit (he wanted to play Gerrard has left back for England !!). Also what is his job? GLOBAL ADVISOR. If anyone wants to correct me has any other sports team in the world got one? Had anyone even heard of such a job,especially in a league out of the countries elite.?
We played Ipswich on Saturday and I listened on the radio and Ive lost that much respect now for the owners and my team that when we and they scored I went oh .no emotion  and for anyone who knows me that's unreal. Then the shiny headed no brained buffoon said if they hadn't been in our box so many times they wouldn't have scored.Hes an absolute headcase.
Last night saw our first game at Ewood in this league and it was appalling ,Ive NEVER been as bored in my entire Rovers life,I wanted to leave at half time but my lad stopped me.72 mins for our first shot speaks volumes. People on fans forums said Hull wanted 0-0 ,but the truth is we could have been 3 down by time we had a shot. I wish I had joined the masses of not renewing as seeing Kean stand there makes my blood pressure rocket ,that cant be right.The highlight of the night was shouting to Sav to get his boots on.
Then Talksport laid into the fans again as I drove homeI was driving home   for hating Kean ,for booing and for Premiership snobbery.Then today the slob AKA Brazil and his sidekick plastic Manc from Bolton laid the boot in again and said Rovers fans could only ring in if they didn't slag Kean or Venkys. What is it with the media and its Kean love in? Then the fraudster Shabby showed his true colours on the same station when he completely backtracked and squirmed about he cant sack Kean and it was a generalisation remark.
THIS BLOKE IS ANOTHER LYING BULLSHITTING COG IN THE VENKY BRAINWASHING MACHINE.HES BEEN BROUGHT IN TO TELL THE FANS WHAT THEY GULLIBLY WANT TO HEAR AND NOTHING ELSE.
