    Hi does anyone else think that the coverage of the FA Cup is seriously lacking? I dunno if over the years we've been spoiled but , take today for instance only one footy match on ( and sorry guys mouth watering it doesn't appear to be,:p only my view ) Jeeze I might have to speak to the bloody wife and kids..... things are bad!:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    In the last round there was highlights from a Spurs game, that I'm convinced was filmed using CCTV equipment. You would think the F.A. would be a bit annoyed at that quality of coverage for the amount of money they are being paid.

    Lets be fair here, compared to Sky and BBC ITV and ESPN are rank amateurs and their football coverage is piss poor

    Nothing beats watching live football. the only bit i like watching on the telly is the action replays to see if the ref has it right. to be fair to the refs they get it spot on most of the time and thats hard to do in some circumstances.....

    After watching the 2 minutes and seeing the how soft the two goals we conceded were, it was 2 minutes too long. Although Moore took his goal very well!!

    Sick of the ads, but even putting those aside the coverage is abysmal.

    Agreed, that **** should be hung from the nearest tree by his bollocks and pelted with golf balls.

    My favourite moment of the cup so far has been Alan Hansen and Lee Dixon telling Steve Claridge he was wrong. Don't get that on ITV. Claridge is an idiot!

    It was something about defensive positioning. Claridge tried to chip in with some "knowledge" and Hansen was just sitting there with his legs crossed, looking disparagingly at him, before cutting him off and saying "No, you're wrong" or something or other. Pretty funny!

    Used to love the coverage years ago. They always showed really goodn non league versus league sides. This has just gone and the coverage is s*te at best.
    Remember watching Team Bath V Mansfield. think it was 3-2 or 4-2. **** football but what a game.
