So what is so special about a repeat of an old Police, Camera, Roadkill that ITV sees fit to axe the coverage of the Vuelta? Thanks ITV4 for nothing.

    You mean none of you are interested in the Udinese v Braga Champions League qualifier? I'm amazed :wink:

    My Sky Plus has recorded 7-8 because it still thinks it is Vuelta.

    Very confusing..

    And now my wife has taken the opportunity to watch an old Grand Designs.

    Bye bye cycling coverage tonight.

  • On at 10.00pm tonight. I hate it when they shuffle the programme around, tend to think that it has a "do not resuscitate" sign on it :(

    THIS.
    I would maybe understand if there was some British interest, but this game? Come on.
    They have shown their true colours and priorities.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    As if the match wasn't meaningless enough, it's gone to extra time and now penalties :roll:

    Maybe they have to show the qualifier as part of their contractual obligations for the CL rights they've bought? Only reason I can think of why it's on.

    As far as the live broadcast goes, I'm not sure it's an ITV thing .. there was no live coverage on Eurosport either, so I assume the host broadcaster might have something to do with it.
    All the above is just advice .. you can do whatever the f*ck you wana do!
