SKY - if you are reading this stop the spoilers

Can you all just put like on this comment so that SKY know it's what we want (and also I will be top of the daily leaderboard for likes) 

And no funny b****rs putting 'sad face' emoji on this

Maybe getting in touch with Sky is a better way of letting them know what you want. I'm not sure the TotalRL forum is the best way of getting their attention.

[JohnM]

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave. 

I'm happy with it the way it is.

I certainly don't want to see Sky being told that the Forum supports stopping the practice.

The latest score updates are excellent and a key part of Sky’s all game approach.

Sport is only live once.

Is 'buggers' a swear word? If so I'm genuinely sorry for posting it there.

Brilliant marketing slogan. 

Please don't tell me you just made that up.

I disagree and think it is an abomination that ruins it for those that want to watch whole games without knowing the score 

It takes nothing away for me to be watching 'on delay'/not live 

In fact almost all my 'live' sport is on some sort of delayed start

The easiest solution would be to stop this madness of playing matches on TV at the same time.

So they are probably well aware it's as full of nuts as a squirrel's duodenum.

Well I never, you learn something new every day.

[Gerrumonside ref]

There’s an argument for not having clashing games at all.

But there’s no point going back to the dark ages and stopping updates altogether imo.

Don't think there’s unity on this one, BB.

[StandOffHalf]

They can do updates at HT and FT by pulling up all the scores on a graphic.

No need to spoil the in-game experience. They can even say that a game is close. No need to give the score away for those who want to watch later.

Pretty basic stuff.

While I sympathise, it's pretty obvious they're doing it deliberately to lessen the appeal of watching the games on demand on other platforms, they're not going to change it.

It was (is?) one of Sky's own slogans.

Some seem to want the practice stopped 

Others seem to want it to continue.

I propose that the Forum contact Sky Sport directly and tell them very strongly that we are firmly, definitely, unequivocally ambivalent.

This happens not just on Sky , and not just RL. TNT give latest Champions league scores of other televised matches. Sky give out Premier league scores of Sunday  2pm matches while showing the featured match,  even though its possible to watch the  others later on catch up or highlights.

Sky would rather after the featured game the viewers stayed on the channel and watched what's on next rather than watching stuff we've recorded. There's no incentive for them to say, " watch another game chaps and chapesses, on us ,  don't watch our next great super dooper program." It's also possible that giving out other scores might be specified in the contract they have with SL. This would stop people doing exactly what people are asking for here, and encourage them to sign for SL+ to watch their team unfettered by the inconvenience of knowing the score.

Come August or whenever the choice will be , watch our featured 2 games and know the scores of the others or sign to SL+. Sky are simply not going to say, " we'll keep mum about the other scores and you can watch your recordings and don't bother with our silly SL steaming service."

Why d'you think the tv negotiations went on forever? If it was just about money the deal would have been done in 5 minutes. 

" here's 21 m."

" not enough "

" tough, take it or leave it."

" hmm, OK "

"nice doing business with you,  byee"

Every detail is hammered out, times, highlight packages and giving scores etc. To think otherwise is naive.

Remember the IMG factor, they are not mugs.

I agree. After all, it doesn't happen in any other sport.......oh...er....hang on a min.....

Not sure if they're still using it but it was their major campaign slogan for a while.

There's like 30 regular posters on here. Their focus group for Brighouse probably has more people in it.

So you are saying this is an elite think tank? 

Even more reason for SKY to listen
