Basicly showed our goal then showed all hulls chances

oh and the comment

''Sheffield trained in the snow this week, whilst hull trained in dubai, such is the gulf in class between the two clubs''

what the fuck is that? give me a break.

To be honest we didn't have that many chances but we bossed the game without a doubt.

And that matters because? we played well thats all that should matter at the minute not how shit itv is get over it

You know its going to be bad as soon as you see the presenter

They did seem to do their best to make out Hull battered us.

It's a big change from the championship though, where I'm convinced that they are having a competition to see just how short they can get away with making our "highlights".

They are biased. Fact.

 

[matth]

They were highlighting the gulf in fortunes between the clubs, not the class. Get over it.

all the TV punditry is biased towards the prem! FACT

Not only the prem though.

For example, the championship teams are so biased towards us.

Last week, massive derby, SWFC vs SUFC. Who do they put on? Swansea vs Ipswich wasn't it? Someone shite like that.

Not only that, more or less every week its a midlands club as the main game, the rest get 15 seconds.

A postponed match at someone shite last week got more coverage than our game. ITV should be nowhere near football.

They seem to be having a competition to see who gets the most 'Main Highlight' spots out of Birmingham & Wolves too.

Quite the opposite I thought. They showed our goal then showed 4 or 5 minutes of Hull passing and shooting. It looked like we were taking a hammering and playing out for full time when in reality we looked like we were tying for a winner and Hull were happy for a draw. Okay, it's impossible to fit 90+ minutes into 5 minutes, but they could at least try and present the game as it played out.

ITV have always been shit at covering sports, especially football.

It cretainly looked a different game to what I watched on Fox Sport.

ITV will whore the cup as much as they can for all the money they've paid for it. Because of that, they will focus on what they see as "big clubs" to get the viewing figures up to justify their spend.

You can guarantee that they'd want a Chelsea v. Man Utd final.

I think the competition ruling about which TV channels should be given which rights is a pile of bobbins. All the rights should be handed to Sky because they're the only ones who can do things with some professionalism. If anyone wants to watch football, they get Sky.

Easy.

To be fair, it's not that long since that we were the first match on two or three times in one month. Burnley (h), Ipswich (a), and I think there was another one somewhere round there.

Even though I can't think of a bigger derby in this division than ours, personally speaking I'm bleedin' glad we weren't on!

Its not just ITV, sky sports have always been biased towards us as well...kamara used to piss me off with his shite. And on the up side, Hull only scored because we had one man injured at the time...

....and the ref decided to award Hull a free kick because he felt like being generous.

ffs, i thought it was our throw in, then i see Barmby shaping up to take a free kick.

Then its 1-1.

Exactly, I was fuming, but it just shows decisions made against us, can be crucial. :thumbdown: @ the ref

But the season we got promoted we had loads of weeks where we were the feature match.

The only good thing about sport on ITV is Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank. He's hillarious and they should get him on MoTD or Sky.
