After watching last weeks CL Liverpool V Chelski clash on ITV I was looking forward to cheering on Liverpool in the 2nd leg this Tuesday.

Today I find out that not only is the 2nd leg on Wed (the ManU game is on ITV Tues) and the return Pool V Chelski game is on sky on Wed.

Not only that but it's on Sky Sports 2!!!!

I've only got Sky Sports 1 ...........


We'll Pi***d off

Pub. I demanded my mates go to the pub to watch it last week even though it was on ITV simply because I knew it would be so poor a game that an atmosphere would be necessary to get any enjoyment out of it. Didn't work, I spent the entire 90 minutes barely keeping my eyes - genuinely.

You're lucky you've got any sky channels. I haven't even got a tv and am forced to watch Match of the Day on the web!

Really, I actually thought that it was by far the best game those 2 have had. That being said the bar wasn't very high

The point I'm trying to make is that I'm lucky to have SS1 (Only got it for one of Englands qualifiers when I was pissed and found out it wasn't on normal TV then kept it for the odd Spurs match) but for your average Joe, how unfair to get you involved in a tie then not show the 2nd leg.

What are they thinking ?

Then I think OK I can watch it anyway, but no I can't because it's on SS2!!

a CL semi on their 2nd channel, money grabbing or what!!

Do you have Sky or Virgin media. I assumed you got them all as a package, didn't realise you paid for each individual channel

I've got Sky, had only the basic package at £16.00 p/m when England were playing and it was only on SS1 so I phoned to ask if I could just have SS1 for that one game. Basically I upgraded to a £28.00 p/m package that I could cancel as and when I wanted. Then there were a few Spurs games coming up so I kept it and still have it, but that price is SS1 only :roll:

I have before but always found a bit of stuttering that ruins the game for me.

Plus I can't have a fag at my PC :oops:

I was more cheesed off that ITV showed the first leg to wet my appetite then don't have the 2nd, would be better for the same side whether ITV or Sky to show the same legs both weeks I think.

Anyhow will watch tonights game, which should be great hopefully. :beer:
