Utter f***ing ****s.

I could have gone to bed 45 minutes ago.

How can they justify pissing up most of the programme with highlights from just one game, then fail to show anything from several other matches?

If they'd called the programme "Leeds match highlights" I would have known not to bother tuning in

What a shitfest. Why couldn't they make it a 90 minute show? Couldn't possibly oust the ratings winner 'Live Bingo' from the schedule though I suppose.

its not like the leeds game was even interesting

they could've shown leeds scoring in the first half, and then the two chester goals, job done.....basically NOTHING else happened

I wish we'd get more respect in the media, always a pathetic after-thought.
No one covering the game on sky sports news on soccer saturday, and barely mentioned on radio 5 live throughout the game. And now THIS on itv...livid
 


Will you lot stop moaning? It wasn't ITV's fault ffs! The guy with the pocket camcorder sent to cover the game went to get his complimentary ticket and got held up in the queue, couldn't be bothered and went for a beer instead.

Welcome to the wonderful world of NON-regionalised ITV "highlights".

Meridian Soccer Night was far from perfect (the Steggal bubble-perm used to give me many disturbed, sleepless nights), but at least you got to see the Albions goals - after Gillingham, S'ton, Swindon, etc.

Looks like we'll have to endure the Dineage show till 6.20 the following night then.

There were over 30 games tonight. I wasn't counting, but I'd guess they showed the goals from no more than 10. Yet we had 25 minutes of a tedious encounter between Chester and Leeds. What the f*** is that all about? ITV really are a DISGRACE of a tv channel.

it wasn't ONLY the leeds game that annoyed me, it was their choice of the 'select few' that were ALLOWED to be shown

i mean.........wow, ipswich beating leyton orient, yeah, i REALLY want to see that

cor! yeah grimsby vs tranmere, CAN'T MISS THAT

brighton-barnet? NO THANKS, i might miss bristol city beating peterborough

Then someone in Norfolk would be saying:

"Cor, Brighton v Barnet - yeah, I REALLY wanted to see the goals from that...."

ITV is a steaming pile of cack. The whole country just has to live with it, not just us.

I'm willing to accept that ITV can't predict which games are likely to be upsets.

But I'm fairly convinced that they could somehow have managed to devote a little more time to the likes of Yeovil and MK Dons, as opposed to 25 minutes of Leeds, Leeds, Leeds.

It was painful to watch, not only because of the tediously predictable outcome of the game, but for the way they strung it out incessantly, with shots of lardy bare-chested chavs singing, of Gary McAllister looking poker faced, and of Jermaine Beckford gazing pleadingly at the referee. Then, just when you think it's over, they stick a cattle prod into the Chester manager and persuade him to gush over Beckford's ability.

FFS, he scored three against a side who'd be relegation certainties this season if it weren't for points deductions elsewhere. By that definition, Adam Virgo is the new Wayne Rooney.

Dreadful effort from ITV, I bet they were even bored of it in Yorkshire.
