Early this morning, Newcastle lost to Atletico Madrid 0-2 in a friendly match. Due to a malfunction in the game broadcast, the Magpie apologized to the fans after the game and promised a refund.
The Magpies fans who failed to watch the game live suffered a breakdown in the live broadcast and vented their dissatisfaction on social media. One fan said: "Only Newcastle will charge 7 pounds of live broadcast fees and mess up the service."
Another fan complained: "It was interrupted just after paying for the live broadcast. Newcastle official website is as reliable as ever."
Another fan said: "Everything goes well in Newcastle this summer."
A netizen joked: "This club is about to fall apart."
Some fans were having fun in pain: " Thanks to Newcastle for thinking and cutting off the live broadcast, so that we can't witness the tragedy."
After the game, the club apologized to the disappointed fans on social media, promising to refund all paid users' fees: "I apologize for today's live broadcast technical failure, and the affected users will receive a full refund."
But many fans jokingly responded that "it's better to buy people than refunds", implying the dilemma of the team after missing Sesco and other signing targets this summer.
