Did a quick check of the TV schedules an i see that our so called national TV provider paid for by the great unwashed couldn't be bothered with a football round-up today,but then The EPLaundry hasn't started yet.
[Football] No surprise from the BBC.

Fantastic post mate thanks for taking the time, what is is specifically you hate about the BBC? I hate the quality drama, world beating nature and commitment to trying to show whatever sport they can in an incredibly competitive market. What nobbers, right!
That is the thing that it is.

But you do get a repeat of Pointless Celebrities(7.45) A repeat of Would I lie To You (9.30) A repeat of Dad's Army (8.00) A repeat of Princess Margaret The Rebel Royal (9.00)
Just be happy they aren't showing repeats of Mrs Browns Boys or Miranda

Do you mean on the news ?
As if you mean a stand alone programme they don’t have the TV rights do they ?

He can't mean that because that was the situation a year ago! Maybe he's talking about his local BBC region?

What really annoys me is the BBC's website. This is how their football page looks here. Flippin' ManU and PSG are the first stories.

Your OP specified TV schedules so why don't you answer the questions on this thread and tell us WTF you're on about??

Whilst in what can only be a parallel universe where the sweaties take pride of place and the EFL features widely ...

Are you using a VPN the Beeb hasn't spotted yet?

With my VPN they force you off .co.uk and onto .com. It is extremely annoying.

VPN not needed for general access from overseas. Just log in with profile set to "UK". Site always looks the same whether I'm there or here.
As for iPlayer: it was explained to me as a UK device which relays back to me rather than masking location behind a VPN (dunno if that makes sense but that's what I understood). The guy who did it was a right pointy-head anarchist breakfast_remains_in_his beard type. Legend has it that he coughed rice krispies in his boss's face when some of his security work was questioned. He left shortly after.
Sadly the boss remains with his cufflinks, blue suit and brown shoes hellbent on purging the tech team of anyone with personality, insight, skill, business knowledge or the slightest trace of a caring attitude. Every morning sees clusters of embarrassed people lurking in meeting rooms for 10-15 minutes looking longingly at perfectly good but unoccupied chairs. We do however have lots of charts to show how much better off we are without anyone doing anything. We old 'uns despise him and take pleasure in ****ing up his budgets, redeploying staff and dicking about with his meetings.
Well, what's the point of having any power if you don't get to abuse it, eh?
(not that a bit of seniority in a corporate is power. It just means I'm not dead yet)
Just noticed later replies - looks like my bearded bloke fooled me too

Doesn't work for me. I'm logged in with my profile set to UK with a Sussex postcode. I think they just don't like me.
I think you'll find Sports Report was on at 5 o'clock, as it has been every Saturday in the football season since the 1950s, in the halcyon days of Eamon Andrews.
If it is so great dont make me pay for something I dont watch. Compete like everyone else.
