leeslover Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I absolutely can't help it. I'm already in that dingy Irish pub by Lime Street station. I'm crying after our last minute winner / equaliser. I'm dancing like a berk in Krazy House, like it's 1995. I'm taking advantage of scousers' generally conciliatory approach to football, saying things like, "You'll rise again" and "You'll get there in the end" to the locals.I'm going to have to neck a Green Lager on the 75 bus.

Stevie_J Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If we lose the replay I'm gonna suicide bomb Cristian Montano's house. Suicide bomb, rather than just bomb? That's sounds like something someone who, despite their best efforts, can't get themselves booked in 45 minutes of professional football would do.

That's sounds like something someone who, despite their best efforts, can't get themselves booked in 45 minutes of professional football would do. Well I was gonna say "if we lose the replay I'm gonna kill myself", but then I thought "y'know what, if I'm killing myself I might as well take that little :censored: out as well".

rosa Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If it's just suicide then drinking a draft beer (or a bottle poured into a glass in McHale's does the job I'd be more scared of regaining consciousness in the glass collector's rohypnol dungeon than of actually dying.

jimsleftfoot Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 But the game will be going ahead that weekend, they just don't know they're playing. But Everton can just go ahead and organise it. Liverpool can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the body supposed to protect the game at all levels, perhaps they should have a say, or at least recognise that United being on for the last 45 rounds is wrong.

oafc-latics Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 it's not the best draw, but there's surely better ties than those? Just because it's the third round, doesn't mean there has to be a Premiership club on telly. I'd prefer to watch something like Rochdale vs Leeds than 4 of those games they've chosen.

Latics_Fanatic Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Load of bollocks that Man United are on against Swansea. Rochdale v Leeds would've been better. As would our game, if we get through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 As the body supposed to protect the game at all levels, perhaps they should have a say, or at least recognise that United being on for the last 45 rounds is wrong. BT and Itv decide games get shown and will base it on viewing figures ultimately because they will have a larger fan base globally they will show Man U more viewers means more money for tv companies which ultimately will drive up the rights package. Given this logic it's surprising that liverpools 3rd round game isn't being chosen for TV due to their national and international fan base. Let's not complain too much we got over £500,000 from itv last season that paid off the seasons losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 What seems wrong is the fact that some lower league teams who have battled hard to get to the 3rd round are denied television money because the hard up premiership teams are in dire need of a cash injection. Personally I would have thought Rochdale v Leeds would have been ideal for TV, 4th division team going well in league, with a good chance of causing an upset. I suppose it just makes us hate the Man ures that little bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA should control what matches are selected for tv based on what's best for the game and the clubs, not advertising revenue. Will never happen though as the tv companies won't bid as high for the rights if they can't guarantee showing man utd every chance they get.

losesome Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Read recently that Man U's last 38 FA cup matches have been televised. Just the rich getting richer !!!!!!!! Should concentrate more on the smaller clubs but as everyone has said , TV companies want their global viewers now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yep, which in turn means we wouldn't get as much money when we are on the telly. But still, the 5 televised 3rd round matches do not include 1 team from outside the top 2 divisions, David slaying Goliath is a great story as long as the rich don't lose out eh.
