What the fuck does WTF mean?OK probably my own fault for not checking but I had planned my Saturday around watching F1 qualifying followed by an afternoon of watching the England v Wales game, so I turn on the TV and find that it ain't on telly :(
Yes it's on Sky which I don't have and have no plans to ever have 'cos I'm not giving money to Murdoch but it's an England qualifier why on earth should it be restricted to the prawn sandwich munching rich people and not the commoners who are the real football supporters?
Also pissed off that I turned down free rail and match tickets up to Manchester to go and watch Southend at Stockport from a mate who couldn't go because England were playing today :(
This will be the second time in this competition that the England game isn't even being shown as highlights tonight after most people missed the earlier qualifier away to Switzerland which was a great result but none of my footie mates saw the game so it doesn't even rate a mention when you get into an England debate.
Something I always think about when the Sky problem comes up is boxing, back in the days when all the big bouts were on terrestrial telly even your granny could tell you who the best British boxers were and who was the heavyweight champion, nowadays even Boxing fans have to think hard about it.
David Haye must dream of the adulation given to the likes of Frank Bruno in the old days, despite getting himself on multiple chat shows most people don't realise he's a world champion?
The Sky money may be great for football but if this is a growing trend the public are going to lose interest.
