Your Call: Pub football from foreign satellites - David taking on corporate Goliath - or out and out theft? The Premier League are now targeting a hundred pubs they suspect are illegally showing matches (bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-25849670) Weve had a big response on texts: Tim in Kent: You can buy products from anywhere in the world on the internet. Whats the difference in shopping around for football matches? John in East London: Perhaps the Premier League could look at legislating on ticket pricing. No wonder punters would rather sit in a pub at 3 oclock on Saturday afternoon to watch their team via an overseas broadcaster, than fork out the silly sums of money required to go to Premier League grounds. But this one says: Its theft...take it to end degree, everyone watching illegal games in pubs then Sky/BT pull out and the bottom falls out of the game. So, what do you think? Perhaps youre a landlord using an overseas broadcaster and need your football trade? Maybe you cant afford to go the game but depend on your 3pm kick-off in a pub? Or is this just theft, plain and simple, and theres no place for it? Call 0500 909 693, Text 85058, Tweet @bbc5live bbc.co.uk/5live
