Default Football Frustration

Well as always I set my Sky+ on Saturday night to record the Premiership Match of the day highlights, and when I went to watch it Sunday morning what did I find? Rangers V St Mirren, Rangers V St Fucking Mirren!

When was it decided we would rather watch that pish for an hour, rather than the Premiership games where pretty much nothing had been decided, and most games are pretty interesting? The games are so pish up here that they couldn't even fill the hour with football action, and at one point even had a discussion and a clip about the referees bloody trainers, what is the fucking point?

What's also annoying is that on Sunday afternoon, ITV in England, Northern Ireland and Wales all get highlights from the Championship, which we don't get. Also last weekend both FA Cup semi finals, plus two highlights shows were shown on ITV in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, which again we didn't get.

That's weird - my Sky+ is series linked to record Match of the Day every Saturday night and it skipped the Sportscene highlights and recorded MOTD when it was on at 12:40am.

Nae luck, min

That's why you should set your Sky+ to series-link the MotD on BBC London (one of the really high channels - I think it's 992). Folks in London will never be given highlights of Rangers v St Mirren (they're distraught).

Similarly this trick can be used when Jaws is on STV instead of the English FA Cup highlights (which will be on the ITV London channel). Unless you want to watch Jaws.

Well considering you live in scotland, it was the scottish cup semi final then surely you could see why they put that on instead. Nothing had been decided in the semi final suprisingly enough before the two teams played.
If you want to watch english football, watch english tv.

Fixed it for you

But yeah - I went to bed last night to watch MOTD2 on BBC2, only to find highlights of Falkirk v Dunfermline. Had to get up again to watch MOTD2 on BBC2 Englandshire on my Sky box. An inconvenience, but certainly one that can be negotiated.

Really, you thought Rangers were going to get beat? You'd have put a 10er on St Mirren getting to the final?

Would you have put a tenner on us getting to the Semi final? considering the horrific draws we've had? Brechin away, Motherwell away, Celtic then Rangers! And Falkirk end up playing in Europe as reward for beating Dunfermline.

No justice!

Would you have put a tenner on hull beating liverpool?
Just because i think a game will finish one way or the other doesnt make it less important than another.
I bet most Huns and StMirren fans would have rather watched that game than english prem highlights.
