5 Hours, Yes, 5 Hours !

[chrissa1]

How can ITV have football on tonight for 5 hours??? Show the live match by all means, but to take up the whole night's viewing time is diabolical!!! Yes I know it's the FA Cup (blah blah), but to show highlights of the blurry thing again at 11.30?? Is this for the chaps coming home from the pub where they've probably already watched it!!
Anyone agree?

Spot on chrissa - time to ask for a refund on the tv licence?

I cannot understand why these television channels insist on using the main stations (i.e. ITV1, BBC1 etc) to air a sport which is not enjoyed by everyone, especially now considering everyone has access to digital television. Why not shove it on ITV3 and let people enjoy what they usually watch. Wednesday has become THE worst day on tele!

5 hours is a disgrace, I agree!

Yeah i go out or watch dvd's on a wednesday now!

chrissa1 - just wait till June 11!!!!!!!!!! Here we go, here we go, here we go . . . . Engerlaaaaaand

[humpy07]

Oh For Funks Sake! They should have a World Cup channel specifically for the event!

[askyourgran]

You have my sympathy, my old man did just that, PLUS!!!!!! we have Sky sports so I don't get much of breather, thats why I'm chatting tonight nothing much on the box anyway.

I'm so glad I'm not alone and very much agree with humpy. Why inflict things like this on the people who don't like football or any other "speciality". Put it on 2, 3, or 4 and leave ITV1 & BBC1 for all.

[Panic Button]

Now we've all ot digital TV, there are plenty of other channels so just tune to another one.

What does it matter whethr it is on ITV1, instead of 2,3 or 4? It's only one channel.

[chrissa1]

Becaaauuuusssseeee, why should us normal human beings be made to watch overpaid, overblown, egotistical men who expect to be treated like gods, kick a ball around a field. As you can see I don't like football and everything that goes with it, sorry. we shouldn't have to go hunting to watch normal programmes away from the main ITV channel.

[Panic Button]

How dare they show Emmerdale on that channel.

I can't stand it.

[chrissa1]

You svinehuunt panic.

[Everhelpful]

I'm the biggest Football fan going but I totally agree with your comments,chrissa.

[Androcles]

At last sensible programming - who wants to watch all this soap rubbish

....... Taxi!"

Your TV license does not go to fund ITV, only BBC based stations.
