Is anyone disappointed in FSC?

[Bayer04fan]

I sure am. My fav team is Bayer 04 and I thought for sure that they would air the Leverkusen v Munich match but they did not. It was clearly the most appealing of round 2. Wish they would show more games!!

GBL is as good if not better than EPL.

For shame FSC, for shame..............
PS
Had they shown the match however, I would have cried and been in pain so maybe it was for the best.......lol

Yes it would be nice if FSC showed some more from other european leagues. Maybe they should change the name to FEPLC.

I guess you guys haven't been following the other FSC threads.

FSC will begin showing limited Serie A matches beginning this Sunday morning. I believe they have rights to the home matches of Lazio, Lecce, Cagliari and Treviso.

FSC cannot show the top Bundesliga match most Saturdays because Setanta Sports USA gets first choice of what match they wish to show. ProSiebenSat1 Welt, a German Service channel available through the DISH Network, can show whatever match they wish regardless of what match Setanta chooses to show, but FSC, even on a delayed basis, cannot show any match Setanta or ProSiebenSat1 Welt chooses to show.

Now, even though that doesn't leave FSC with much to choose from, I still believe they can select better matches than they have so far. I don't mind HSV v. Hannover tomorrow as that is a "Derby". However, the matches they selected the first two weeks were horrible.

People see the seven goals in the FCK-Duisburg match and call it "entertaining". To me, it resembled a MLS match and FCK were only not as incompetent as Duisburg were.

I might be "crazy", but I think FSC have an agenda to eliminate BL programming altogether. If they can lower the ratings enough, they'd be justified in dumping it in favor of even more EPL or perhaps more Serie A.

I hope whoever makes the decisions on which German league matches to show at FSC isn't just incompetent.

Then again, that could be it too.......

With this luck...the guy in charge is most likely incompetent......

That is just your opinion...


Bundesliga is the highest scoring league in the "big 4" so I would rather watch a Bundesliga match than EPL. :D

I really don't agree at all with that. Most EPL matches are quite boring to me.

No.

[Dead Fingers]

wretched epl long ball! :p

[MikeLastort2]

I can't stand watching most EPL games.

My favorite leagues are Italy, Germany and Spain.

[SirManchester]

Yea the excitement of the EPL doesn't transcend to every game...Birmingham v. Fulham or Everton v. Bolton aren't the most exciting games you know...

The best matches are always shown on PPV anyways.

[SoftTackle]

Not showing the big matches is precisely why I'm paying more attention to Serie A and La Liga over the EPL this year. At least Gol TV shows the top contests each week.

Fortunately with Setanta, I can see the top matches in the BL too.

[ZenCarver]

Fortunately with Setanta, I can see the top matches in the BL too.Freakin' $11.99 extra a month for just Setanta... Ack.

[SoftTackle]

For me, as a Bayern and QPR fan, it's a very good deal. So far I've been able to watch two of three Bayern matches. And just this week I'll get two QPR matches.

Plus, for the Champions League I won't be held hostage to ESPN's decision on what to air.

[Karimi8Rulz]

I have to agree with the poster. EPL is pretty good but there are other leagues in Europe with as good of competitions.

I wish they would split their time evenly amongst GBL, EPL, LA LIGA, and Seri A.
