Re: BEIN Sport is great!

What a disgrace of a network.

Cutting from Empoli-Roma for Ronaldo's post-game interview :facepalm:

And that's why they won't be getting a cent of my money.

If they're going to treat Serie A like the shitty ginger stepchild, why even buy the rights?

Time to step up, Fox Sports.

To be honest I don't get angry at this stuff anymore. It's more representative of US soccer fans and the state of Serie A than Bein Sports' incompetence. The fact of the matter is more people probably want to see Ronaldo's interview than Empoli-Roma.

I dunno about that. I can't think of any other network that would've done this.

Yeah it's pretty horrendous now. I love Bein but they gotta let Ligue 1 and Seria A go.

Currently watching PSV Den Haag in Univision Deportes.

Supersport in South Africa have cut a Madrid game for a Barca pre-game. They've aired Shaktar vs nobody on a CL night over Madrid vs Lyon because the group had already been won.

THEY'RE SHOWING JUVE-INTER INSTEAD OF BARCA-SEVILLA

Oh they'll cut-away from that to Messi's post-game interview to congratulate his teammates on playing at his level.

Just you wait.

LOL Liga getting what it deserves.

I think Bein knew they made a big mistake yesterday and don't want to piss of 2 of Serie A's biggest fanbases. Or at least I like to think they know that anyway.

Wish those idiots were showing Juve vs Inter or Milan vs Alessanri on tuesday. Fuk BEIN sports

Its down to viewership, and la liga's big 2 simply have a bigger audience.

But they had to have known that when they bought the rights to Serie A surely? Or else why buy them if the coverage is going to heavily favor La Liga anyway? Serie A fans would've been better off with BEIN not buying the rights only to get our hopes up with shitty coverage.

Feel bad for BeIN US users, BeIN MENA (middle east north africa) has 20 channels (i'm not kidding) dedicated to sports, with 12 channels usually reserved for football. Covers CL/EL, all top 6 major leagues, etc

by Cruijf Tue Mar 01, 2016 2:24 am

Yeah I even bought an IPTV so I could watch BeIN MENA but the coverage was crap, constantly lagging and cutting out.

If I could get it on Satellite or Cable it would be insane, never have to stream a game again.
