Well, he was standing right next to Bosnich when he did it.
Theyâre quoting him - how is that tantamount to regurgitation? Iâm pretty sure Calum Jaspan does not have intimate knowledge of A-League fan culture circa 2014. If it was Vinceâs byline, different story, of course.
Delany says a poor reason for doing a Nazi salute.
Jasper just reports that. Does no work, doesnât find the footage of Delany looking at Mark Bosnich and then doing the salute.
Provides no context that Mark Bosnich once performed a Nazi salute at Tottenham Hotspurs fans whilst playing for Aston Villa.

Iâd suggest if you quote someone without any actual verification that itâs accurate then it is regurgitation.
I mean heâs literally doing the fucking mustache. Itâs nothing like the wanderers chant. You donât need to be ingrained in Aleague supporter culture to see that.
No one gave a fuck about the French league when they were there, even the people who bought PSG jerseyâs still didnât care.

Interesting details here: Football Australia, Paramount deal struck to show Socceroos, Matildas games until 2028 (SMH)
FA would not disclose the financial terms of the deal; previous reports of a $200 million agreement were wide of the mark according to sources who were speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of the deal.
Chief executive James Johnson would only say it was a new high-water mark for FAâs broadcast revenues and would enable them to continue investing into growing the brands of both national teams and the programs of junior teams that sit beneath them.
And
Paramount was largely unchallenged in its bidding for the rights, with FA keen to sell the rights to a single party. Both Foxtel and Nine (the owner of this masthead) looked at the rights but made no serious bid, sources familiar with the plans said.
Also
The deal cements Paramount as the one-stop shop for Australian football content, and sits alongside their existing contract to broadcast the A-Leagues, which has two more seasons to run. Paramount has an option in their favour to extend it by a further three years; due to a failure to hit subscription-based targets within the contract, it has turned out to be worth a lot less than the $40 million-per-season figured trumpeted by the Australian Professional Leagues when it was signed.
But also
While the APL is eager to discuss a renewal to shore up the financial future of A-League clubs, and is expected to begin the process of seeking a new rights deal by the end of the year, McGarvey said Paramount was in no rush.
Last week, Foxtel expressed an interest in potentially bidding for the A-Leagues rights again. Julian Ogrin, the CEO of Foxtelâs streaming and advertising division, which includes Kayo Sports, told Mumbrella the company would âabsolutelyâ consider a bid for the A-Leagues, if the rights became available.
Despite any Foxtel interest, The APL isnât going to be able to force a higher price though. If Paramount wants to hang onto the APL rights, theyâve got a 3 year option to do so.
But the practical concern is that they canât bleed the league to death, because that will damage Australian football more generally, smashing the Socceroos and Matildas rights value and destroying two assets.

It is, if it logs you out and youâre trying to remember your password, forget it, have to reset it and then find your email, change to a new one that inevitably is the same one that you had previously, as you typed the password in wrong, then change it to a secondary password that you inevitably forget when you get logged outâŠ

Just going back to this⊠How would one acquire one? It seems that TNT sports have basically given up on Serie A
Iâll PM you 
If youâre paramount annual subscription is about to renew make sure you try and cancel. They will give you 50% off to keep you.

Thanks for that.
Did it adjust end date of the contract for you? Mine still says the end date as my current one
It wouldnât adjust because youâre paid up till the end date.

Thanks for the tip.
So if Iâm currently paid up until 6/10/24 (12 month sub) and I hit âCancel Subscriptionâ now, how does this 50% discount work?
Do I renew and pay now for another 12 months (discounted by half) and my new plan end date goes to 6/10/25?
Or do they give a promo code to use when renewing closer to the plan expiry date?
Renewal will happen on the 6/10 but you should be charged 50% normal rate. At least I think so.
This is what mine looks like at the moment:
