Crystal Palace (a) FA Cup Pre-Match

[edinburgh123]

What about Lincoln vs fucking Brighton being live as well?

As I said, the BBC fucked us over.

Lincoln v Brighton. What a joke. A non league team against a team flying high in the Championship with a great chance of a famous upset in the most famous cup competition in the world. Or, an all premier league game of 2 half reserve sides where it is a fiver for kids such is the interest level. I accept its one rule for Utd and Liverpool - but 2 wrongs don't make a right. Apart from fans of the club who gives a stuff about Palace v City?

So you're complaining that because the BBC (a broadcasting company) looked at potentially showing this on TV, other broadcasting companies booked in other games...
I get that people want to watch the game, but you get to watch most these days and radio links will be available. The situation is a lot better now for foreign fans, or those that can't get to games than it ever has been before. And I'm old school, I hate watching on TV, the radio makes me more nervous and I fucking hated going to an FA Cup final with a kick off at 5.30pm regardless of the fact we lost so people abroad could watch it at a more convenient time than those actually attending.

It's an age old argument. I'm happy that people abroad can watch, I lived in Australia for two years and couldn't make a game. I also happened to leave in Jan 2011 and therefore missed our FA Cup final win, having to rely on texts from my Mum because the town I was in had shut down the only pub because of the time difference, I had no internet/computer or place in the town to find a way to watch or listen. I had to go into an internet cafe first thing in the morning to watch highlights and it was gutting not to have been there when I'd been there through the yo-yo times! I also missed the league win, having to watch the QPR game in a hostel, though it was a great experience because everyone was for City that day.

Even when I was in OZ though I would have preferred the games to be convenient for match going fans more than myself. If fans aren't in the ground you instantly lose what the game is all about.

No. Again you're not getting why I'm complaining.

I'm not wanting the game to not be convenient for fans. I prefer watching the 3pm Saturday kick offs anyway, all premier league are televised at any rate.

My chagrin was raised by the BBC fucking about with "oh if Bolton get through, you can be on tv and play Sunday, if not, it's the rags again and you'll be on Saturday but the decision will be after all the foreign TV companies have picked who they are gonna show". Without that interference then Bein sports would be showing it at 3pm tomorrow instead of Lincoln vs Brighton.

That is the issue, not the kick off time.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs all on tv tomorrow as well.

You really think Lincoln vs Brighton will draw more viewers for Bein sport than City vs Palace? I know for a fact Bein would have rather had the latter.

Maybe it would draw in more viewers but I am rather old school. The FA Cup is about tradition and giant killing. We get Premier League every week. And if you think it is purely about more viewers you can't complain Utd are always on cos they will always get more. Imagine City were Everton (similar sized team). Palace v Everton in the FA Fip - would you watch that? Would you hell - who cares who wins. Lincoln Brighton though - everyone has a favourite

Number 16 for the Monday night 5th round draw,(palace or City).

Already allocated an away fixture against a Premier League team. You heard it here first. Of course I'm guessing but the odds are I'll be correct.

I brought viewers into it as you asked who "apart from City and Palace fans would watch it".

So whilst you may be a traditionalist, is the Lincoln game actually being shown in the UK?

Because the broadcaster that is showing it out here does care about viewing figures.

Not everyone can get to a game 4,500 miles away.

Strangely whilst watching the Spurs match he went from telling everyone TH would win this easily to fucking stunned silence as we battered them. Apart from the end result of course.

True and was so funny, he must hate what is happening at our club. A little shocked at first because this is a so called man who many see as the only forward thinking english coach of his generation ( not my view ) You think he would be happy that kids will be coached at a great academy in the right way....but then jealousy comes into the question

 

[Why Always Ste]

Is this match even taking place?

Granada??? Reports on ITV and they had the sport report.
City are mentioned regarding the doping charges.
Then the reporter goes on to mention utds passage into the LC final.
Straight after the reporter goes into a segment about the FA Cup and how utd play Wigan.
Then mentions the other local clubs competing in the fa cup, specifically excluding City with non reference whatsoever that we are playing.

Last time I checked we fall under the Granada area?
I mean we were mentioned about the doping charges.

Its blatant fucking obvious agenda against this football club and if you can't see it you are more deluded than those rag bastards.

Its far more convenient to deny this shit.

I have tried the current live streams under Mama HD and they asked for a captcha and then said no links found after I entered the captcha. However, after a minute or two when I clicked on the links again they started playing straight away without asking for the captcha again.
