Thread: Are ITV actually WAITING for us to lose???

I'm chuffed. We get all the live FA cup games here on cable so no sopcast for me!
Also, the cable guys are decent commentators. The RTL couple, who do the league games are probably the worst TV broadcasting team ever. One is sleazy beyond belief, the other is a former Derby striker (Strupar) who seems to have hit one header too many. He does offer insight once in a while but mainly it's:
“Well. He should have aimed next to the keeper, not at him.”
or:
”Now they're going to have to score one in order to avoid defeat.”
It's the pinnacle of journalism, I tell you.

ITV automactically got the replay, but had to choose the next round of ties, hoping that Leeds would win the replay, they chose the Bolton game for this weekend. They could then say ITV had followed Leeds brave run at every game.

But...we beat Leeds, ITV could not change the televised fixture, so they are showing the game against Bolton, although there are better ties around.

If we win, we won't be shown for a while

and as Swanny says "Seemples"

until the game after the 6th round
