Channel 5 to show FL highlights next season; Saturday nights at 9pm

[GT49er]

Top of the table clash, first against second, and we still only get 20 seconds of coverage!

Obviously they've taken on board complaints that we only get 15-20 seconds tagged on somewhere near the end, and their PR department have come up with a solution. Put our 15-20 seconds on at the beginning to get it out of the way, add a comment that it wasn't a good game, and move on.

There you go - PR at its best!

Love the way they said Hull hadn't beaten us for 20 games, didn't they beat us in the FA Cup and league a few years back?

 

[Munchkin]

Absolute dog shit show. Say no more.

Embarrassment.

Like the bbc c5 must really hate bhafc

 

[Megazone]

Where's Adam Virgo?

 

[Steve in Japan]

The Charlton captain got longer, and he's not even playing at the moment!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Where's Adam Virgo?

He tweeted that he had a day off.

Embarrassment.

took the words out my mouth, nothing about the significance of today's game. Just a sideline that it was approach game and that hull had never beaten us in 20 years (I am sure they won 1-0 opening day a year or two back?)

The FA cup game at the Amex was a draw, we lost the replay. Hull haven't won in Sussex since the 60s.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Who got top billing? I'm watching the boxing rather than this crap

I'm watching the last night at the proms.

 

[blueandwhitestripes]

C5 really are taking the p#ss. Tossers

 

[crookie]

Unbelievable, no mention of the pre match, then 15 secs of highlights, shameful

 

[Solid at the back]

I'm happy to keep going under the radar

 

[dr415414]

After a barrage of complaints,incredulity and upset aimed at Football on 5 they then put out a limp excuse of an apology by putting the clubs you tube feed of the tribute on their twitter account. Shockingly bad,pathetic and insensitive.

 

[cmonbarrybringonwoody!]

That was an absolute abomination. Disgusting.

 

[Solid at the back]

Tbf, it is a highlights show, other then the tribute, there wasn't a great deal of highlights that they could show

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Love the way they said Hull hadn't beaten us for 20 games, didn't they beat us in the FA Cup and league a few years back?

They beat us first game of the season three years ago (I think) although that was at their place. A game we could - and should - have won.

And if we had won it, we would have been promoted automatically instead of them.

When you are an Albion supporter you have to hang on to these rather tenuous if only scenarios.

Except maybe, just maybe, this season.

This. Should have mentioned pre match events though

 

[chaileyjem]

Sky mentioned the Shoreham tribute and showed a brief series of images before they showed Hemed's goal on their goal round up on Sky Sports News etc even though its a "goals only" hour.This was probably an editorial mistake by C5.

As for giving the Albion only 30 seconds. that was fair enough. The match itself was uneventful and only 2 weeks ago Albion v Ipswich was given 8mins+

A pretty poor and shameful editorial mistake!!!!!
