BT Sport

Where do these come from?

They come through the sky dish. The box just gets rid of any encyption - so every sky channel is free to view.

Sad, but after our first match my overwhelming feeling is anger at the **** that is Danny Mills and his gormless sidekick

I'm going to save this to my favourites bar. It is the complaint form about BT TV content - I suggest as many blues as possible use it as often as possible,

Better still go to the CEO, the Liverpool supporter from Alty gavin.e.patterson@bt.com.

He seems to think BT Sport output is 'very popular with an audience of well over 10million over the last year, up over 50% year on year'.

As that represents 20% of the population of UK, I think he must have the same number crunchers who say that 10% of the entire world's population support the rags.

I did notice there was some sycophantic Liverpool love-in programme going off when I tuned in last night, with another promised for next week or something.

I watched a German feed last night, i couldn't understand a word, it was bliss.

Did the same in Greece watching England. No histrionics, no excited cries of 'Rooney!!!' just a nice flat but probably accurate commentary in the background.
A bloke from Devon stood up for the National Anthem ( OK perhaps after a beer) but pressed his hand to his heart in the American fashion (yuck!)

Pissed indeed!

I don't think he was - just from Devon!!

What I found irritating about the commentary was the same old media cliches about City and Pep repeated ad nauseum.

Where finance is concerned any bias will be shown towards the biggest target subscriber base.
Obviously if it coincides with the bosses team loyalty so much the better.

How do people get away with such statements. If anyone wants to check viewing figures go to http://www.barb.co.uk/viewing-data/weekly-viewing-summary/ for the official industry figures.

Set you expectations at the right level and you won't get irritated any more. I'd be disappointed to get anything other than hackneyed old cliches. The reductionist mass market demands nothing more.
