Pundit slams football TV subscriptions after missing Scotland's win over Spain

GABBY AGBONLAHOR has hit out at the number of subscriptions fans need to watch football.

The former Aston Villa star ranted about TV companies after he was unable to watch Scotland's 2-0 win over Spain.

Manchester United star Scott McTominay netted a brace against the Spanish to give his side a famous win.

However many were unable to watch the game as it was broadcast on Viaplay, which costs £14.99 a month or £11.99 a month if paid for on a 12-month contract.

And Agbonlahor was left fuming with this as he went on to moan about the number of subscriptions that are needed in order for fans to tune into games.

He told talkSPORT: "It was a massive result.

"But I didn't get to watch the game as there are so many channels now, that football is on.

"You've got Viaplay £15, BT Sport £30, Sky Sports £24, Amazon £9.

"I can't keep up, I went to put it on and I am like 'I am not signing up to this channel'."

And many fans agreed with the former England international as one commented: "Will only get worse at the end of the next TV rights contracts when the likes of Dazn and Disney and possibly Netflix get involved."

A second wrote: "I’ve never agreed with Gabby more, never even bloody heard of Viaplay until last night."

A third said: "Finally, a pundit addressing what most of the football-loving public have a grievance about."

A fourth tweeted: "It’s ridiculous to need some sort of regulation on this over a £100 month to watch football."

While a fifth added: "Don’t always agree with Gabby but he’s spot on here, the good old days were when footy was on normal telly, and they wonder why people don’t pay."
