ITV "Highlights"

[Pierre's PC]

I see the ITV coverage has improved immensely since the last time i watched football on there...oh wait.

 

[Foxy]

At least we didn't have to wait until last

 

[Gateford Blade]

I listened on the radio. and it sounded like we had numerous chances. They showed Benteke missing a couple but none of ours? V poor

 

[stannyblade]

Shite. Cant believe thats it

 

[Blade59]

Yet another example of why ITV should not be allowed anywhere near football TV coverage. Total bunch of amateurs. As bad as the BBC football league show is it is 10 times better than that.

They didn't include porters half chance just after they scored. Wanted to see that one again...

Aye, didn't look far over the bar in real time.

I'm disgusted, did we win at villa today and in my opinion quite comfortably??? An fully deserved??? Did we actually get mentioned??? Absolute joke lets concentrate on the premiership club!!! UTB AN FANS

 

[Harry's Game]

Sorry I blinked, were we on?

Fucking disgrace.

Having watched it first hand and coming home from the boozer on purpose to relive it again I feel immensely let down by the coverage. Didn't show half of how good we were just tried to squeeze into minimal highlights how poor they were. All this with Lambert has some what taken all the shine off of this which is very unfair, I am already thinking now that a good few of the headlines tomorrow will point how how Lambert's comments have come back to bite him on the arse as opposed to how we played magnificently as a team, made a Premiership team look average and outplayed them.

Thankfully I am a Bladesplayer subscriber so I get to watch the full 90 minutes again on the official site tomorrow afternoon.

There might be some extended highlights on the FA page on Monday if the last couple of rounds are owt to go by.

But yeah, piss poor attempt from ITV - reckon Arse/Spuds will get a good 20 mins...

 

[gavtheblade]

And i`d been looking forward to that since 5.

Black spot of the day for me ,not the miss but the dogs abuse he got from round me , Doyle got the same for a misplaced pass ,yet Baxter got an 'unlucky lad' for a worse one.

 

[Linz]

Is anyone else still watching?

Fed up of hearing about "the magic of the cup".

Always the same. Group in front of me abused him for scoring at Walsall.

 

[Wards]

Particularly impressed how they managed to put the commentary, Graham Westley's interview and the voice over all at the same time for the Donny-Stevenage game. And missing all of the goals to show said interview. Classy.

Thank god the coverage is back on the Beeb from next season.

 

[zablade]

Just posted similar on 'another' forum..
.... Don't you just love the London centric media? What a bunch of twats, this makes me want West Ham even more next round, I Know who they support... Bastards!

 

[Selly]

Clearly they hadn't actually sent a commentator to the match. The result had caused a hastily dubbed short highlights set to get pulled together. Picking the right matches is always tricky in the FA Cup.

Having said that, they have had 5 hours so what they actually managed was a fucking joke...

We got a lot of "Porter, user your pace" comments.

Personally I thought he did well today, given the job he needed to do and the skill set he has to do it...

Get ont Bladesplayer tomorrow or even better subscribe, it only costs me a few quid a month and I get to watch full 90 minute replays of all games the very next day which gives me a chance to give the game another once over while sober on a sunday afternoon.

 

[yuley82]

Mighty Leeds beaten???? When was the last time they was mighty???? ITV give me strength!!!!!

Highlight was the spider scuttling up mad dog Allen's abomination of a waistcoat, just after the Rochdale v L---- game

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

If it had been Wednesday they'd still be on about it now.

 

[Harry's Game]

Matt Smith is useless, ITV would be better getting one of Meerkats to present the show.

 

[shorehamview]

ITV employ Andy Townsend, the biggest football fuckwit in the history of broadcasting, and I include Gazza's World Cup buffoonery. This tells you everything you need to know about what kind of organisation they are.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

At least the bbc website knows how much of a upset it was, by showcasing it on the front page.

That must have been painful at times

You make that sound like it's a good thing.....

 

[Swanseablade]

Absolutely piss poor coverage and pundits.
Apologies if others have said it before but in addition to the poor highlights, they spent just over 2mins talking about Lambert & Villa & 40secs discussing United - WTF?!

 

[Jon Bon]

If you were on row GG of the Doug Ellis Stand, that was probably me - although I only said it once. Just a bit of friendly sarcasm that's all, nothing meant to deride.
