Tonights football

[curlyperm]

Not really a Question - so apologies, just been reading the paper and noticed that tonight theres no emmerdale AND no coronation street cos of the f***ing football?? not even showing at a later time? probably in the minority here and i know i am sad but just wanted to get it off my chest! : (

Blimey,i hadn`t realized Corrie isn`t on.I`m a soap fan & a footie fan so i was gonna sky plus the match & start watchin it after Corrie.I`m gonna have to replan my evening now.Good luck to Liverpool(even though i`m a Man U supporter).

football is real life, If we miss that we'll never get to see it again. At least you wont miss an episode and it will just be shown the next time it can be. Calm, woosaaaa :-)

what a bag of crock, no emmerdale or corrie, isnt it strange how soap is put off for footie but never the other way around. 4get, soap may not be real life but at least if we dont agree with whats gone on we dont go knocking 7 shades of sh*t out of each other

on september 11th 2001, the BBC broke its news coverage to show EastEnders. Clearly the BBC has the proper & realistic sense of proportion when it comes to deciding what to broadcast.

I do have to laugh when I see someone begrudging the showing of a live match on terrestrial TV (an increasingly rare event these days with Sky gobbling up rights to everything) because it means that a show that is on FOUR NIGHTS A WEEK (or is it five?) and sometimes twice in one evening is getting postponed for...ooh, crikey...a whole 24 hours.

If it was on once a week and you had to go without your fix for a fortnight I'd sympathise. I'm sure I'll find myself in this position come the end of June when Wimbledon is on for two weeks solid and I have to miss stuff because some overpaid petulant grunting hairybacks (and the men are just as bad) want to play glorified ping-pong.

If you were a REAL soap fan you would know that there is no Emmerdale and Coronation St on when the Champions League Final is on . It hads been like that for years now !!!!
P.S Come on you reds

[4getmenot]

cant say I do gina, I sit and watch the sport. Not all fans are hooligans. maybe you watch too many soaps :-)

[the g man]

gina32 Get a life !!!
come on the pool

[JackDanielsU]

Eastenders has come before football before


Footballs European governing body agreed to delay the kick-off of a Uefa cup semi-final so that the BBC could screen the eagerly awaited episode of Eastenders of who shot Phil Mitchell.

Now that is sad.

And with the amount of "secondary" channels BBC3, ITV2 etc which not everyone has...but surely they can be stuck on there to appease the addicted ones

[4getmenot]

why out it on another channel they dont miss an episode. Do some exercise or something instead :-)

[gina32]

maybe we do do exercise and work hard and watching the soaps is a relaxing moment, and as for soap coming before footie, thats wasnt the case with the wordl cup was it

[4getmenot]

are you gonna be in turmoil, will you miss it. No

[curlyperm]

Ok ok well thanks for all your comments........for and against, i will however hold my hands up and amit to being a sad f***er with no life..........BUT i'm not THAT sad that i would jump on a plane to a foreign country to watch a game when i have NO ticket, with litlle or no prospect of getting one, OR �3,000 in my pocket on the off chance that some cowboy is gonna sell me one!!!!! Not even able to watch it on a big screen and then skulk off home after its all over, nah it takes REAL brains to do that ; ) hope the 'best' team wins (like i care one way or the other) to each his own eh?? x

[4getmenot]

who said all fans have to watch it abroad?? I'm glad to watch it on TV. I would agree that thousands on a ticket it silly

[NORMANTHEDOG]

you can take me out for a walk,if you want sweetiepie

[Gemz23]

I agree, football takes over everything, like next friday, eastenders isnt on because of the football!

[4getmenot]

oh no your life will be over. Its Friday, the weekend, go out.

[4getmenot]

What do any of you do when its someones birthday and you have to miss it and go out, you don�t even get it repeated then.

[curlyperm]

well if we have to go out i would tape them (but not sure how to set the video - yes i am one of the few who still video tapes things so i would just let the tape run all night and cos i cant set the timer heheheheheh tokd you i was sad lol
so tonight i will just tape the whole of BBC1 and watch the apprentice when i get in later x
