Why do people keep complaining about this? It's a better than average Prem team against a lower than average Prem team. It's not going to attract TV coverage.

Am I getting old (30) or is this just what we should expect now, that we should be entitled to watch all of our games from the comfort of our own sofa, bed, toilet seat, wi-fi friendly coffee shop or garden shed?

Just go to the game or wait for MoTD ffs.

Difficult for people living outside UK.

Sure but life goes on. If I were a big Getafe fan, I wouldn't be that bothered if I couldn't see the second round Copa del Rey game against Real Mallorca.

Can you not watch the highlights on the spurs www?

i can and in the end that is no drama but I am so buzzed at game days and want to see the performance of my team. Highlights are normally not enough for me because I cant really judge performances while doing this.

There is a reason for disappointment when you see possibilities to watch Utrecht U21 vs Shanghai Xao Ping Pong U19 anywhere but not a solid FA Cup tie.

But it is not a big deal after all as 98% of the matches are televised but still disappointing

Yes....for you folks that can't understand...yes, every game should be available to watch somewhere someway, that is just the way things work these days, two premier league teams playing in a cup should be available to watch somewhere. I blame the club itself, they should take it upon themselves to provide the service to supporters. Most top clubs offer this online....how is the club going to expand and attract new supporters if no one can see them play, and what's the point of supporting a club if you can't see them. And no, not nearly everyone is able to go to games. Its not hard to smack a dude with a camera at a game, lord knows there is enough money involved in the game to make the game viewable

I don't expect to have every game shown on TV and think I'm lucky if I find a link somewhere. I think some people are being a bit spoilt these days and it's showing.

...was going to be my reply.

This fucking sense of entitlement: it's like spoilt brat syndrome. If you can't make the game and it's not on the tele box tough frankly: get out more.

Here we go again, what is it with you people thinking we are spoiled to want to watch our club play in a tournament? You need to get out of the stone age, asking for a an official cup game of top team in Europe to be broadcast somewhere in the world is not asking for a lot. I know it makes you feel hard to tell people they are spoilt brats because it was different back in the day, but your not hard bro, its not that big of deal to get upset with a supporter for wanting to be able to see their team play. Apparently some people are not all there in the head and keep pulling out the just go to the game or shut up card, that is out of the question for a good number of supporters.

Its not like there is not a market for every game, I know if I had no way to see the game other than a stream online for 20, I would pay it all day. Its only a matter of time before there's another step forward and games become more accessible, its just dumbfounding how slow developing it is

And if the club streamed every game, who would go to the games?

It's very simple really. Tv pay the rights to show games, if they don't pay to show us then we don't get shown, but if we are lucky it will be shown somewhere just can't expect it all the time.

I am surprised by now an armchair supporter cannot just watch any game they please live from a sky/cable package

SNF Match choice style - buy a tv season ticket or whatever and have the ability to choose whichever game you want to watch from all the PL matches of the week
