Glm9191 10 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 what player ratings would you give for the england team? overall, most players played well especially Rooney who deserved man of the match and his two goals (by the way i am not a united fan so im not biased towards him).

Bed 167 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia I'm one of the many millions that don't have Setanta, so my overriding feeling on the day is that it's disgusting that 'our' national team plays on anything but a terrestrial channel. As a Manchester United fan, I can understand and swallow the role of finance within the game, but couldn't the bods in London at least display a conscience when it comes to televising our national team?

Seftinho 4,344 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia Really pished at Setanta for showing this game, the Croatia game, and all other past and future games they have shown / will show. Mind you, England do seem to play better when they're on Setanta. Anyone else noticed this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Loblaw 2,162 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia Setanta was free yesterday wasn't it? So everyone could watch it? That's what my man servant told me anyway, as I burnt $1000 dollar bills to keep my pet Unicorn warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allan-NI 10,006 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia Northern Ireland Vs Poland, on Sky sports i was annoyed about that, but i have Sky Sports so it wasnt much of a burden. On the plus side at least Sky is showing better games now I for one am fed up of all the boring England matches on TV, I say let Setanta keep all their games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiamSmith 2,088 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia Its only bad for the people who have SkySports and are used to them having every game I have Setanta and i dont see a problem. You cant have all the matches on Sky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You cant have all the matches on Sky! I have a full Sky package but it's really not about Sky or Setanta mate. It's about everybody being able to watch the national team. There's not a person in this world that could convince me England internationals should be on anything but the terrestrial channels (1 to 5). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's not a person in this world that could convince me England internationals should be on anything but the terrestrial channels (1 to 5). I thought ITV and Setanta had rights to England matches, but Setanta did the away games while ITV did the home games. Or has that changed? I do agree with the last sentence though as I have only freeview, no Sky apart from SSN and a couple of others. No Setanta either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's not a person in this world that could convince me England internationals should be on anything but the terrestrial channels (1 to 5). Luckily I have an expansive TV package but jokes aside, it is despicable that the national team of our beloved national game isn't on the nation's true broadcasters: the BBC. I'd begrudgingly accept ITV or Channel 4 but Sky is pushing it and Setanta is an insult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The game went dead after that imo. Livened up a bit when Rooney scored his first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The England home qualifiers are on 1-5 and BBC/ITV have a highlights package for the away ones. Everyone can see England one way or another. Plus im sure it will be on a website like this: http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bed 167 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia Oh I know what they're on. I just think that every live England game should be exclusive to terrestrial tv. Every single person in this country should be able to watch the national team play live; not forgetting, a lot of kids can't afford, or make the decision, to subscribe to Sky or Setanta.

Allan-NI 10,006 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia The Northern Irish, the Scottish and the Welsh all pay the BBC license fee, so having the BBC spend our money on England games is insulting. ITV, C4 or Five yes, but not BBC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bed 167 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Re: England vs Slovakia Do these countries, even collectively, contribute more to the license fee than England? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
