    What has happened to SKY Sports News?

    I understand FOX lost the Premiership coverage in America to NBC but that does not mean they cannot still show SKY Sports News on a daily basis. It is broadcast in the UK 24 hours and so you can broadcast a live feed any time with the latest soccer news. Transfer market is hype at this time of month and we need our fill of up to date transfer news. So get it together FOX or at least NBC jump in and steal that too...

    Well on BBC America they have a sports segment regularly (pretty much every hour). It's basically the same thing as Sky Sports News without the annoying ticker along the bottom and redundant league tables along the right-side.

    I can't tell you how much I miss all the goals from the football league. Highlight of my Saturday.

    Where can I watch Fox Soccer News now that fox soccer report is no longer on air? I thought it was supposed to start on August 19th but I can't find it and they don't have a schedule available on fox sport website.
    I always enjoyed catching up with all the highlights each night.

    Yes, it is on Fox Sports 1; time is 4:00 East-side. However, they don't seem to have it every day. When Fox is showing Champions League (and maybe, Europa League) matches, FSNews is dropped, and the CL/EL post-game show essentially becomes that broadcast. This week, I don't think it was on Friday, either, since Fox Sp-2 was showing the Uefa Super Cup match.

    Your sig line is wrong!

    Q: What Would You Do If Jesus Came To Liverpool??
    A: Play him out on the right-wing and line St. John up at centre-forward.

    The correct answer was (is):
    "Move St. John to inside right."

    This was graffiti scrawled on a poster advertising the Billy Graham Crusade that came to England
    in the 1960s.

    I appreciate that you took the time to check out my "sig"...

    But, there must be dozens of variations on this little bit of Liverpool lore: including that it was a written response on a banner in a Liverpool area church (NOT a Graham crusade)...

    I was a working football/sport writer and editor in the Sixties when this story started to surface...

    The ad was on the church (maybe more than one) and elsewhere in the city. It was for the Crusade that came in 1966. That is why it was topical, and the reason for the poster ad in the first place.
    St. John was one of my boyhood heroes, which is why I noticed your sig line, and thought that you might as well use the correct version! St. John was the regular centre forward at that time, which is why he would be moved to accommodate Jesus, who would then be the striker. That was the point, plus the fact that the graffiti artist thought only about the team, rather than the city as a whole.

    OK! Your new "sig" is more correct anyway!

    Cheers

    Cheers to you as well, mate!

    I have a variation of the "Jesus SAVES-" line in my "sig" over at XtraTime.org...

    It was high time that I changed my "sig" anyway...
