BBC, like munkfish I can't stand David Pleat, if I watch a game on ITV it will be with the sound turned off and R5 on instead (if you have never tried this give it a go, you will never listen to an ITV commentary again).

I have only ever watched a handful of games on Sky, I find their swooshing sounds almost as irritating as David Pleat.

Indeed, ITV's whole setup and football coverage is SHIT.

I'll probably go round mates or have them round mine, have a few beers. Don't really like wathcing football in pubs.

I second that. Like to actually be able to watch the game and not put up with some nobber who knows nothing talking bullshit whilst knowing it will take me forever to get a pint at half time. Just pull a beer out the fridge and sit in comfort with the mates is the way to go.

I cant do this where I live as due to the fact I cannot get a decent picture with an aerial I only have satellite TV which is always a second or two behind the radio so I always know what happened before seeing it.

Turn up your radio to 11 and place it about 1/2 mile away and the sound will arrive at the same time as the pics.

Hope that helps. :thumbsup:

That's a good idea :thumbsup:

Its a shame you cant get something like sky+ for radios so you can delay the sound for just long enough

Press the famous RED BUTTON and you get the option of Radio Five Live commentary coming through your TV set, rather than the voice of Motson.

The delays are synchronised.
