2025 Community Shield | Crystal Palace v Liverpool

[Really_here]

Just looked to see when coverage of the Community Shield today starts on TV and I'm surprised it's not on ITV or the BBC. Not that bothered about today's game but I think it's shameful it's not on either. How long before we have to pay to watch the FA Cup final too?

It’ll be a game they move to The States that, soon.

I guess if Henderson handles the box outside the box today stopping a big chance it will be straight red...

Don’t think they can do with the Fa cup final, isn’t it one of those protected events like Wimbledon, The Grand National and The F1 British GP that have to be on terrestrial tv?

The Charity shield has always jumped between paid tv and normal tv. Sky had it in the 90s first and then BT Sports also got it for a bit.

I will never understand that decision. Straight red. I don't see a reason for any debate.

TNT Dipper from 14:00

Expect an hour on Jota - Pre match Becky Ives fellating Slot. Followed by a commentary that fails to mention palace.

Dipper loving ref
Tierney on VAR

If I was Palace I'd not bother showing up as they are getting fuck all.

Cheer up. Chelsea (the team we all used to support) are playing AC Milan at the same time, and that's on C5.

No need to thank me; it's all part of the service we offer.

 

[Tevez City]

Going to watch it to decide shell I pick Wirtz or Gakpo in my FPL team

Zero fucks given about his game tbf, I am only half arsed when we are in it tbf.

A pre season friendly with a trophy unimportant as the one we won last night.
( and no I don't call our domestic treble season fourmidables )

Lost all it's value when it stopped being the opener for the full English Football Season and just a pre premier league kick about.

It wasn't on terrestrial TV for about 34 years.

Either not shown at all then on Sky for most of that time.

1987 - 2021 so I'm not sure what the basis is to be so surprised.

 

[TinFoilHat]

The community shield is a major trophy when Liverpool lift it.

Soon as they do that I'm out.

Really? Whats it on

Can’t decide whether to watch but probably will. Liverpool are a club whose fans proper annoy me (most the team I work in Liverpool fans. One of whose Husband, who lives in Dorset, had the nerve to question why I support City when from Preston) but I loved Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup if we didn’t so hmm yes will prob watch

Honestly genuinely also thought was on ITV or Beeb

ITV would have done it but they lost FA Cup rights to TNT who will be the main broadcaster with BBC showing the obligatory Rag/Dipper ties from the 3rd round.

I will never understand that decision. Straight red. I don't see a reason for any debate.

Corruption. In plain sight.

It's on TNT/ Discovery. I was surprised to see it wasn't on terrestrial given the love by the broadcast media for all things Dipper.

The game has Dippers v Wimbledon vibes about it.

We were set up to fail and that decision was the cherry on top of the shitcake.

I'm torn between Wirtz and Palmer. At the moment, it's Wythy's, er, finest that has the shirt.



Though that could change before the 15th!

It is a bloody friendly!
