advertisement reasons

You must be joking :blink: . Since when is the referee sponsored by Adidas, Hyundai and Coca Cola, to name a few?

Scirwode

competitions are sponsored by advertisements and tv rights

otherwise how could fifa pay man utd 100 million dollars for their CL glory?

more money comes to the tournament with more excitment

injury time goals by turkey are actually making uefa happy.

people will tune to watch the game untill the very last minute because of 3 last second goals by turkey in 3 games.

more money and more people watching the tournament will take next euro 2012 advertisement deals to a higher level.

anyone studied finance as a major in college?

if not i do not expect a logical response.

if you read my psot

you see that i am talking about the quarter to finals

NOT the league.

it is not a source

it is a FACT

watch tonights game holland vs russia.

unless the score is 3-0 or something

you will see a 4th minute being added.

No, that's not true, you're lying. You only added that you were talking only about the quarter to finals in the post you wrote a few minutes ago.

In two of your previous posts, your first after the game and the one I quoted before, you mention nothing about your "criteria".

You're giving me a stitch in my side :laugh: ! Since when did FIFA pay Man Utd 100 million dollars for their CL glory, when their job is to mediate tournaments that involve the whole world, from the youth to senior level? Also, injury time goals by Turkey do not make UEFA happy nor do they have any reason to. TV rights are settled before the tournament even starts so even if you're turn off your television, you still have to pay your broadcasting bills :p .

Any more bright insights, I'm enjoying my conversation with you here :laugh: !

ok its not fifa.. its uefa. sorry about that. man utd earned a total of 100 mlillion after their win against chelsea in the final.

i am not talking about 100 mil right after the game...,

tv rights are settled before the tournament BESIDES the FINAL game. this has been going on for many eyars. final game sponsrships are different but usually the sponsors that were already in the tournament sitll get the rights.

also what did i say? i said This so called miracles will help UEFA to get more money for euro 2012. because they will see that more people watched euro 2008 over euro 2004 and as a supply and demand curve will happen the tv rights for euro 2012 will be higher and uefa will earn much more money.

No, that's not true, you're lying. You only added that you were talking only about the quarter to finals in the post you wrote a few minutes ago.

In two of your previous posts, your first after the game and the one I quoted before, you mention nothing about your "criteria".

ok

lets say that i added it later ( which i did not)

all games had 3 mins extra

but when were the games over actually?

around the 4th minute

not in the exact 3rd minute.

are you watching the games LIVE or just following resulst from internet?

only exception was switzerland and portugal.. and thats because portugal had already qualified

switzerland had already been eliminated

and the result was 2-0

i believe you would also say right now that CL draws ( for quarter finals ) are not fixed as well.

than i would laugh and never write in this forum about this situation as well.

i cant believe you guys are living in a small world where only fair things happen in football.

football is one of the biggest markets in the world. and dirty things DO happen. uefa and fifa are not angels. remember the allegations against blatter?

betting sector only in football is over billions of dollars.

people profit and have evil plans while we innocently watch our games in TV.

Alfista, please stop lying. You wrote these two posts (partially quoted):

one last thing. uefa gives rules to the refrees. for example in each game at least 4 mins addded to the 90th minute. because UEFA tells refrees to do so. even though there might not be injuries in the game but refree would still ad 4 mins.

same thing goes with extra time 2nd half which is the 4th half really.

Refrees are also told by uefa to put extra mins in that extra time as well. regardless if there were injuries or not.

for all of you whom said that my words about refrees adding extra times because uefa told them.

name me 1 game that did not have a 4 minute add on in the 90th minute in this torunament.

holland france had a bit more than 3 mins and less than 4. thats because the game was 4-1

Now, where in that do you say that you are only mentioning semi finals, quarter finals or finals?

After I gave you the list of Euro 2008 games that ended before that 4 minute rule you made up, you change your speech:

thats exactly what i am saying.

name me 1 hugely important competition game. such as CL semi finals or finals or quarter finals. uefa semi filans to final. World cup tournament or euro cup tournament.

4 mins are ALWAYS added to the 90th minute

and

2 mins are ALWAYS added to the 120th minute.

this has been going on for years and i cant see how you cant notice this.

remember getafe munich game this year? the game ended at 122nd minute as well.

if you read my psot

you see that i am talking about the quarter to finals

NOT the league.

it is not a source

it is a FACT

watch tonights game holland vs russia.

unless the score is 3-0 or something

you will see a 4th minute being added.

NOW you say that the 4 minute "rule" only applies to important competition games ONLY...

Come on, dude, stop fooling us, we're smarter than that.

Again the question remains, why does UEFA pay Man Utd 100 million Euros/Pounds/Dollars after their CL glory? Since when is UEFA that rich anyway :p ? And your changing your stance now, before it was broadcasting rights were decided by the amount of people watching the game, now you've taken my answer as your conviction. And since when do sponsors get TV rights :blink: ?

The miracles that are happening have little to no meaning on Euro 2012. TV rights will always increase in demand, it's a certain fact, not because of a teams success in the preceding tournament, but the rise of different broadcasting mediums and more penetrations in the broadcasting market.

Come on, I've just realise that I can make 3000 post just by having a conversation with you :p . Let's see what we can discuss and debunked some more :laugh: !

uefa does earn tons of money by tv rights and other things.

if you win a game in CL group stages you earn 600.000 dollars per game.

just for one silly game.

the winnings after each advecement is higher.

if you qualify to quarter finals you get more than a million

for semi filans more than that and for final much more than that.

and than the winner gets way more money by fifa.

(depending on tv rights and their other incomes)

chelsea got a bit less than 50 mil througout the competition

yes tv rights will be higher in 2012 even if the games in euro 2008 were dull.. but now since euro 2008 is a kick ass tournament more tv stations will try to buy the rigjhts for 2012 and this will increase the tv rights' price.

I didn't realise that UEFA was only run by one person and that they earn so much money in the process :laugh: ! UEFA is not all about the Champions League, there's also the EURO championships, the youth championships of both the men and the womens teams, the UEFA cup, the UEFA supercup and a host of other things, not to mention the UEFA Super license and the referees training camps. Since when does UEFA earn that much money to pay the winners of the CL 100 million Euros/Pounds/Dollars? Prove it to me, not by your words, but finding the relevant article that states how much each winner and loser gets for their participation in the CL :p .

okkk

lest just watch todays and tomorrows games

if the result is tight

draw or 1-0 2-1

even 2-0 because it is a quarter final

u will see 4 mins being added.

if 3 is added the ref will play until the 4th minute

because refrees lets say might give 2 additional minutes but they have the right to play it 3 -4 or even 5 mins.

it is their whistle.

Since when did Ernst Stavro Blofeld became head of UEFA and FIFA :rofl: ?

Scirwode

no idea who blofeld is...

i am guessing he has a betting company as you quoted that line from my writings.

betting is a huge part of football

2 years ago i suppose

Man utd had a game against a 3rd division team in FA or the other cup

and the game was a 0-0 draw

what would you guess the betting for a 0-0 draw in that game would have a rate?

11.0?

so if you depost 1 mil dollars you would get 11?

this is just an example

people whom are in football already knows it but thats how they earn tons of money

also man utd was not with reserve team in that game.

half reserve half starting 11

i cant remember the name of the 3rd division team.

many unfair things happen within UEFA and FIFA

again i am saying

THEY ARE NOT ANGELS....

do not defend otherwise just to write opposite of what i said

everything i said so far happened to be true and became reality

why are you still humiliating yourselves just to be opposite of me?

no idea who blofeld is...

Blofeldpleasance67.jpg<----- That's Blofeld! :D

BTW, I'm surprised a game between Croatia and Turkey has ended up with the mother of all debates on Neowin! :laugh: I'm surprised a mod hasn't come in to clean up the thread yet!

I think we just need to leave this situation buried. Yes, the game went over on the injury time, but that's the referee's fault. The ref is the reason for most of the controversial events in football, and Euro 2008 has so far had its fair share, especially with Ruud van Nistelrooy's "onside" goal.

Wow, I never even knew the referee was given an ultimatum such as that :o ! You must be quite something, to be honest :p .

see you later tonight.

I still think Germany will win it... they're mentally way stronger than anybody else on the planet -the entire German people if you ask me... when it comes to sports

I'm not so sure, I think Spain have a much better chance at it than Germany, to be honest.

Didn't see the game. Was it god/ Saw Turkey win the shootout in a bar, but I I was out with a friend who camedown to my Uni from Liverpool, and we did a ****ing superb bar crawl.

Cnat believe I lost a tener. It is the equibalent of AIDS!! Think I spelt it vaguely right, I'll correct it tomorrow.

Ha ha ha! I think I did quite well with that post, seeing as I was rather drunk.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads.
