    ITV and Irish broadcaster Setanta have secured the rights to show the FA Cup and England home internationals in a ?425m four-year deal.

    BBC NEWS | Business | ITV scores in FA Cup rights fight

    How do people feel about this? It's crap I feel

    1) I hate ITV football, the commentary and the style is poor
    2) Adverts
    3) You have to pay to subscribe to Setanta

    BBC and Sky are better for football I think

    Your thoughts???

    I prefer BBC and Sky Soprts but i suppose its better for people without Sky sports. They get to see all the Games whereas we Sky Sports viewers have to be compensated with ITV[​IMG]

    I hate ITV ... the prem programme they had was terrible. The championship on a sunday is poor they edit it showing 20mins of people eating burgers. The camera angle is poor for a lot of games . The programme should be longer there is nothing on a sunday that good in the morning so they could make it longer.

    Its not worth paying the tv licence now, what is on bbc apart from the occasional good comedy & MOTD ? They pay Jonathan (overated ) Woss 18 million for 5 years work, so they could of stretched to this .
    I wish it went to Sky and not sentana another scam which is making the game poor and i cant see anybody paying x amount of money to see england at the min .

    Touching on the point about advertising.

    <div class="quote_poster">C.Ronaldo Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">How do people feel about this? It's crap I feel

    2) Adverts </div>

    They're inevitable as everyone knows, but they're not that much of a problem. Think of the positives - you can fuck off and make a brew or have a fag, whatever. Plus, you don't have to listen to some fucking newsreader half way through the mid match interval because they've run out of things to say, of course I wouldn't be referring to BBC there, no no [/sarcasm].

    As long as the game is covered, and ITV shoot David Pleat, I'll be happy as Larry. Clive Tyldsley/Steve Wilson are quality commentators IMO, they just needs someone decent to partner them.
