No it's bad news Dubbers

Pubs could show all 3pm games as they bought foreign satellite equipment that allowed them to get a subscription for the European TV package, which offered a choice of all 3pm games.

Sky got the arse with the Euro court ruling English pubs could buy that TV package, so instead they have restricted the amount of 3pm games shown in Europe to one or two games, as opposed to all of them.

Means unless City are playing one of the 'attractive teams', it's unlikely they'll be shown at 3pm in a pub, unless said pub can find a dodgier foreign language stream of the game.

Had to happen sooner than later...
