(26 Dec 2014, 9:54 pm)Tom Then again, I agree with that.
Some of them are clear decisions, but they must be under a hell of a lot of pressure.

After talking about the legality of pubs broadcasting football the other day, I saw an interesting notice in the Window of The Wheatsheaf earlier which said
Employees of the F.A, P.L, Sky Sports and Bein Sports are not allowed on these premises by management until further notice.
Can they actually do that???
@Fozz - the ref criticism issue isn't a difficult one to sort out. Give the referee a press slot after the game, where they can explain their 'big' calls. It would eliminate some of the guesswork carried out by pundits for hours afterwards.

It would eliminate some of the guesswork carried out by pundits for hours afterwards.Yeah, I think Refs should get a slot after a match to talk to the cameras, if a big decision has been made, it would be good to hear first hand from a ref, why he made the decision, and the chance to apologise if he laters sees he got it wrong(although it is too late by then, though your red card maybe rescinded)...
(28 Dec 2014, 9:35 am)MurdnunoC As long as the pub is not specifically targeting groups whose characteristics are protected under the 2010 Equality Act - they can refuse to serve (or levy conditions upon) any person who enters their premises. For example, some bars require a certain dress-code while some shops have notices stating 'only two children allowed in the shop at one time'. The latter might be challenged on the grounds of age as age is a protected characteristic (although targeting children isn't necessarily discriminatory) but the requirement of one conforming to certain standard of dress is not discriminatory.
Barring employees of the FA, PL, Sky Sports or BT Sports would not be classed as discriminatory as it does not specifically target any cohort protected under the Equality Act. So, yes, the pub can actually do that.
(28 Dec 2014, 10:07 am)aureolin I've seen it before elsewhere. It actually protects them to an extent, as if one of these employees come in, and they later get a court notice, then they can try and press charges for the said employee being on the premises without permission.

(28 Dec 2014, 2:14 pm)MrFozz A question about barring certain people from pubs, what would stop Sky, FAPL and Bein planting people in the Wheatsheaf or through a mystery shopper kind of thing???

(28 Dec 2014, 4:05 pm)MurdnunoC As Aureolin has stated, if a plant has been placed inside the Wheatsheaf, they're on the premises without permission. That may impede upon any legal action.Thanks for the answers...

The ones I have always hated in football are Football Dataco, the people who sort fixture lists out, they are evil bastards, the amount they charge for to publish fixtures is extortionate...Had a canny little site with my mates about 10-12 years ago and decided I wanted to publish the fixtures for Sunderland, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Darlington...The site was getting about 5,000 hits a month until Football Dataco came along and asked for a shit load of money for the licence to publish the fixture list...Anyway I tried to get round it by using fake names, similar to the way Pro Evolution Soccer does/did i.e. Wearside Reds, Tyneside Blacks, Cleveland Reds, North Tees Blues and Co.Durham Quakers...Website ended up closing as the legal threats made me sick and my mates felt intimidated by the threat...Robbin Bastards
As with the blackout rules, that was another thing I never could get my head rlund
