R.I.P. TigerTv Page - AFL honchos come the heavy

New York Tiger said:
I concur with everything Jack has said. I live in the same country as Jack, and have over the years watched the product quality to the USA dwindle to an abismyl level. It originally was on ESPN, available to to cable subscribers, then it went to Fox Sports World only available to sports premium cable subscribers.

Now, the only option to watch a game on a real TV is through Setanta, available ONLY on a satellite TV provider owned by News Corp. (Murdoch). No one in this country apart from pubs and farmers selects satelite, because the cable quality is that much better. Besides which, if you live in built up areas like where I live, and like most people living in a Condo, I am not allowed to install a dish!

BTW The broadband access through afl.com.au is pathetic - I wrote a letter to Andy, obviously not going to get a response or even for his to read. He doesn't give a sh!t about me, he more concerned with hiding the illicit drug problem in the game that he manages.
You cand download the torrent of it NYT.The're ussually available immediately after the game.Always good quality.No ads.

*smile* the AFL.

PM me if you want me to show you how.
 
Pathetic reaction from the AFL. There's so many football matters that they administer poorly (e.g. food prices at any AFL venue, free to air tv coverage, tribunal, inconsistency in application of penalties especially in Kerr/Cousins cases, draw bias, umpiring, rules changes) and this is yet another case of Big Brother overeacting.

What a joke. The AFL is a very poor sports administration organisation. They have taken the peoples game away from the people. Men and women in suits paid massive amounts of money, with no common sense at all.

. . . Instead of my novel I read the Copyright Act in bed last night and after a very restless night have decided to question the AFL further. Feels a bit like David vs Goliath but I think it's important to clarify things especially seeing I don't consider we have breeched the copyright act as claimed.

Does anyone know Danny Denuto's phone number? :help

Good for you, Rosy.

They (the AFL) should be tickled pink that there are sites like this to promote our game - albeit, the Richmond cause - instead of acting like schoolyard bullies.

God knows there is plenty to occupy their time without worrying about what PREnders are up to - the mess the rules are in at present would be a good starting point.

Then there is the drug problem, and the unfair draw, and will there be a 4th field umpire, and what position to give Sheedy.

Go get 'em Rosy......................Send them these post's and see what their reaction is.
Know they probably wouldn't take the time to read them , but what the Hell , nothing to lose.
In fact , that's what these types want................."people to be seen , not heard."

Keep on them Rosy , the Little people are still the Majority , let's show these Clowns that the "Game" exists because of people like us , to them it's only a Job , to us it's our Life.

P.S. Who's Danny Denuto ?????

Rosy is trhinking of Dennis Denuto, a character in a movie called 'The Castle' ; he was a solicitor IIRC


Thanks for that "DDT" , seen the Movie many moons ago , can't say I remember the character , but at least I get Rosy's post.
 
side track for a minute.................

Big thanks Rosy for putting the TigerTV on in the first place, really stirred the heart to see such great highlights.

I thought that when dumbmetriou took over the role as head nazi that things would improve guess i was wrong. Why is it that everyting the AFL seem to do or say is always negative, they really are not fan friendly at all and treat the AFL fans the same way that big banks and telephone companys do ,like crap. Dont think i'll renew my afl membership this year might get a Melbourne storm one instead *smile* Nazis >:D
I thought so too. It appears we were better off with a South Australian running the show.
 
About the posts that were deleted, I'm sure other members will recognise why some information shouldn't be in public forums ;)

Give me a PM if you want any... details. I only have 35% of the details though!

Tiger TV was fantastic and gave many of us enjoyment that otherwise we wouldn't have had. But the AFL have now grabbed their ball and gone home... what a baby :police: :police: :police: :police: :police:

Indeed. Well done CMT.

Thanks rosy.
A lot of hard work up in a clod of cyber smoke but much appreciated by you and your offsiders all the same. :)

From what I've seen over the last 19 years from afar , your interest should be focused on keeping the "Great Game of Australian Rules Football" just that..................."Australian Rules Football" because from the product I've had the "Luxury"of seeing a FEW times in the last couple of years, the Game resembles nothing to the one I grew up playing and loving.

The AFL made a statement recently that the game is to be known as "Australian Football" and that it has never officially carried the name "Australian Rules Football".

Australian Football. Fits very nicely with its owners, the Australian Football League.

You're never going to get clarification now that you have removed the videos, they have got what they desired so they don't need to bother spending any time answering your questions. Had you left everything up then maybe they would have done so.

It is basically outside their jurisdiction and would be very expensive to prosecute. They would almost certainly prefer it were not on youtube either, but will be very hesitant to pick on a big guy, but are more than happy to pick on a smaller fan-site.


Sounds like the U.N.
i`m fuming over this,what a bunch of slimy,low life, pathetic ,pedantic little people.
dogmetriou and co. are so filled with self importance it`s sickening.
wouldn`t the old footage belong to channel 7 and not Anal FL?

this could be a stab in the dark here, but if they can`t do anything about stuff on you tube why doesn`t one of us just upload all the tiger tv stuff to you tube and provide a link to it?
