One possible bonus of streaming games live is the return of a traditional sunday 3pm kick off, that may encorage more fans at the ground

Premier are pretty good in that regard. HD streaming of live matches with absolutely no stuttering or issues whatsoever.

It never ceases to amaze me that youngsters today will happily listen to music on a phone which sounds very like the small hand held, tinny AM radio on which I listened to Radio Caroline back in the 1960s. Technology - it's wonderful, isn't it.

Bongser too loathes having young 'uns choice of music aired tinnily to him on public transport (though they, of course, have the basic human right of being able to trample on the former human rights of others - perhaps a good, old fashioned thick ear might improve their musical tastes) but in fairness, Bulliac, with a decent set of new-fangled ear-plugs (or whatever modern parlance deems them) Bongser often hears many musical details that he missed in his youth. One should resist throwing the bathwater out with the babies.

Fair point, B. Could understand it as mobile 'phones reduced and reduced in size from the primordial brick, but now that that trend is being reversed to some extent, you'd expect bigger screens, better cameras etc to be accompanied by bigger, better speakers. Then again, a lot of music/video that comes from 'phones is streamed and therefore limited by the quality of that stream. And (never begin a sentence with "And", Bongser), hey presto, the good thread "End of Sky & RL" is suddenly back on topic.

All the best for next season lads, (and the January shenanigans therebefore).
