FA Cup Third Round (Television)

[Conkers]

Let's be fair and put it right - I don't know where that list of BBC games came from, it sounded unbelievable, but they are showing Villa-United, Burnley Arsenal and Stoke Newcastle - Sky to show the Luton/Forest Liverpool game. That's more like it.

Much better

Excellent so 7 of 8 teams to get £150k from TV apperances are in the Premiership!

Pathetic!

BBC have a duty to show the most attractive matches, not distribute money around lower division football clubs.

Totally agree. Its a good chance to give the smaller clubs some cash (£150k in this round is worth a lot to clubs outside the Premiership but nothing to them).

So we have

BBC Man Utd v Villa plus 3 more TBC.

Boring........................Boring................Boring

Totally agree again. The 3rd Round is when is gets nasty. The overpaid tarts of the Premiership face a potential banana skin. These are the games people want to see and NOT the most attractive tie of the round.
