So what the heck was the "TV SNAFU" mentioned at the start of this thread? Dish showed the Chelsea v QPR game on until about Thursday, then when I checked the schedule yesterday it was replaced by frickin Ipswich against Portsmouth, like anyone cares about that one! What happened? Did ChelseaTV pull the plug? Moneybags Chelski trying to rake in some more cash? What about fans of your opposition, you stingy gits... yeah we want to watch Chelsea TV for a month, right. All we want is 90 minutes and you pull the plug on us!
To the best of my knowledge, it went like this... - FSC were lead to believe that they would be showing us live (feed beamed over by the FA's TV contractor, like all Cup matches) - and FSC advertised it. - At some point this week, FSC were told that there were "not enough cameras" at Stamford Bridge to provide live coverage (?) I guess by the FA? - FSC switched to carry the feed from Ipswich-Pompey - We're stuck listening
Patrick Agyemang enters for Gareth Ainsworth. Buzsaky joins Mahon in center midfield. Rowlands moves to the outside. We're underway in the second half.
Sounds like he might have to come off - not good at all for our chances today and the next couple weeks Bad start to the second half
Buzsaky limped back onto the pitch, but it looks like he'll have to come off. That really hurts us. He's class. But he's coming off. Looks like we're going to bring on Man U youngester Kieran Lee. Will he go to wide midfield and Rowlands move back inside?
And we make the sub. Lee for Buzsaky. Chance at a penalty for the R's, but not given. Didn't sound too serious, but it's hard to tell. At least a half chance for the R's.
Thanks for the info, so it's the FA's fault. Nice. Dear Mr Barwick, You're a plonker. Yours (preferably not), E17Avenue So where is everyone listening to this game???
More likely than not... yes. The TV deal for the FA Cup is rediculous, especially outside of the UK. Listening via QPR World subscription to the BBC London coverage
Another foul for Obi on the edge of a yellow. Sounds like he's overdue for a persistent infringement card. QPR World for me.
Great, so I have to cough up money to listen to radio. How the heck are they going to show the game on delay on FSC this week if they didn't have enough cameras there? Enough cameras to show it non-live, but not enough to show it live? So it's some stupid quality standard. WHO CARES, JUST SHOW THE BLOODY GAME. Pissed off.
World is worth it. Live audio for every game. Video highlights of every game. Video interviews with players just about every week. Manager's post-match comments on video every week. Well worth it.
