It's to do with uefa and outreaching games to smaller nations... obviously its main broadcaster is pay per view type so s4c as being a national broadcaster for Wales (in eufa eyes) allow it to be shown but only in the Welsh language .... that's it in nutshell. BUt sure there's ways around it... :laughing6:

Yes, there is. I watched it on S4C with English commentary by following the sky Q box instructions posted on here. Sorted for the next 4 years :lol:

We have been superb going forward under Bellamy, but it seems to me that we are suffering the same problem as the Bluebirds have had for years in having someone to put the chances away. Missing the chances we have created against Iceland and Montenegro twice hasn't cost us too much, but against better opposition it could be the difference between winning and losing, qualifying or not. Who do you think is the best striker option we have - for me at present it has to be Brennan Johnson but he's not an out and out striker either. Kieffer Moore has done little for some time for Wales, Harris looked decent in a withdrawn role yesterday but was more of a creator than a finisher - is there anyone who can take the role on? I don't think Boradhead is is the answer. It could be a problem for a team that creates so many chances.

Like I said Allan, the problem has come from ViaPlay scaling back their UK TV operations.

So S4C are the only channel in the UK to show Wales matches. Like I said, it's worse for Scotland who are restricted to YouTube.

UEFA aren't happy about it. Expect they'll go back to Sky for the new contract in 2028.

Not necessarily, BBC used to have the games with English commentary.

ViaPlay have really pissed off a lot of people like UEFA, FIFA, Scotland and Wales.

They'll probably never get a contract again for those reasons.

Like I said, Sky will pick it up at some point again I think. But the next contract won't start until 2028.

Or via the s4c clic website and select English commentary for PC/laptop connected to the TV. Same for mobile phone users and cast to TV. There are ways and means .... legal ones too which is a bonus!
