The Football.....

What a farce the BBC's coverage of the Newport V Man Utd game was. I could've sworn the game was on the telly and on their football page, but when the match kicked off at 4.30 the website page was still broadcasting the Liverpool v Norwich game on BBC Radio. The Newport game was also on BBC Radio, but no pictures. I went for a walk thinking it wasn't being shown on their telly/website page, but when I got back I turned on my laptop to see it was being shown live, but by then there were only a few minutes left.

I watched it on the tellybox with no issues

So it was on TV but not the laptop to start. Then it came on their web page way after the game started.

Was the website messed up because of all the c*** at WBA? The 5th round draw was delayed because of it

Possibly. 🤔

That 'aggro' at the WBA v Wolves game was crazy! It was like something from the 1970's/'80's. I saw one bloke throwing stuff high into the crowd at opposing fans. If he'd done that in the 70's or 80's he'd probably have got away with it, but with all the CCTV and stuff how daft of him!! He'll be used to make an example of and probably get a very long if not life ban from football grounds and even a few months in the clink!!

Is there a different sort of internet/radio transmitter for Accrington?

Enjoyed the Man Utd v Newport game. Getting level was some achievement.

Hope the fan who took ill towards the end is alright. Haven't heard any news on it so hopefully all is well.

It definitely wasn't on their football page, before I turned my laptop off at about 4.45! They were still waffling on about how 'great' Liverpool are and also had radio commentary of the Newport game from BBC Radio Wales, but no TV pictures of the game.

Understandable though, Liverpool are great.

Well, they may be. Though the radio commentator said a few times that, especially when Norwich pulled another back to make it 4-2 with 20 odd minutes to go, "This game is far from over yet"! With Norwich not having beaten Liverpool in I think it was 19 games before today it was almost certainly over! Norwich had as much chance of winning today's game as my team Accrington Stanley have of getting to the Premier League in the next five years!!

They did well to get two but to be honest their forays into the Liverpool half weren’t that frequent

It was on iPlayer, on the BBC1 channel though.

That goal from Bryn Morris (formerly of Pompey) was something special (even with a deflection).

Well why didn't they tell us this??!!!

It was in every TV listing I've seen, and was advertised all week. And if it is on TV, then generally it is on iPlayer live at the same time.
