FA Cup TV Atrocity

No. I have a feeling MoPo will go proper 4-4-2 for this game and goals galore!!

So you're hoping we sign a striker before Wednesday to partner Kane up front then?!?!

Are you dissing the Greatest Cup Competirion In The World. TM BBC

Whilst Im saddened what has happened with the FA cup but it is the only major competition in the top leagues/competitions where the winner has to be unbeaten(the DFB Pokal cup, the winner is unbeaten but the qualifying teams can lose and get in the competition). Also the competition features teams that comes as low as level 11, in which any team can win it including a non league team like we did over a hundred years ago.

In theory its a great competition but its been let down. Its really disappointing that they don't play at neutral grounds as that use to be a great fixture instead of wembley which makes it feel like the competition has gone corporate instead of being a competition of the people.

So the replay will once again be not televized anywhere according to the official site. What is with this nonsense? I went years without missing a single game then they go and pull these shenanigans, it is unforgivable

I'm pretty sure the club lets fans watch the game actually in the stadium if you wanted to watch it? You get like a seat, and the view is even bigger than a tv screen. You can't live rewind or fast forward through adverts at half time, but then there aren't actually adverts. It's like the BBC except you're actually, like, in the game.

Depressing. It's why I got a ticket this time, couldn't listen on radio again. Also hope to see a couple of the youngsters

 

[parklane1]

What a shame I guess I will have to just have to watch it at the ground,

I don't blame BT or BBC for not wanting the game.

In situations like this though, what's stopping the FA from streaming on their site?

the Coupe de la Ligue Quarter Final's

You'd think Spurs v Burnley would get a bigger audience.

not sure, some of our fans dont want to watch us. Not sure fans from other clubs would watch us over Monaco v Guingamp and i think the game thats on when we play Lille v Nantes (1st and 6th in the League)

Not sure about that, I have read and heard that there are a lot of (so) called supporters would rather us lose this, if that is the case why would they want to watch it.

As good as any I guess.

What are BT showing instead?

The replay of the tie they originally showed, Everton v West Ham.

If that is the case then fair enough. Can see that getting more viewers as both teams will be more interested in going through than us. Can see us resting a couple again as we have some important fixtures coming up.

I'm pretty sure a number of fans do not live in England

You are right of course, but there are many who do.

 

[nightgoat]

To be fair, after the first game you can hardly blame broadcasters for not falling over each other to televise the replay.
