AppyDAZE Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 To pick Man U at home to Burton the other night was a truly pathetic decision by Sky. I made a point of not even switching it on, in all honesty. Love football, hate Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it FFS !! I think that more people watch (in person) non-Premiershit games than Premiershit, on an average weekend in the UK. Why would those people rather watch two foreign teams slug it out for the 15th time? [I agree with your statement for foreign viewers] Anyway, Sky will have to show us for the quarterfinal*. *Assuming we draw ManUre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you just know that we would be the first team in over a decade to have a cup match against them not televised. Instead they'd put on Man Citeh vs Chelski and Spurs vs Arsenal.

If teams don't want to play in it let then drop out but they are then out for good. 'A waste of energy!' Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits he is no fan of the Carabao Cup Him and Jose particularly vocal about it, so ask those two what about the clubs who don't compete in europe? I wonder how much we've made this season and last by reaching the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV had the TV rights and publicly announced the first leg at Nottingham would be sooo one sided, that it would not make good entertainment for the viewers. Instead they showed Luton v West Ham which was a 3-0 home win. I seem to recall ITV apologised to viewers afterwards for only showing highlights of City's draw at Forest.

Dave Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Don't forget this is the Football League Cup, and how many of the Football League teams are shown live. None. Instead, we will be served up Premier League reserve teams, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky is all about the money and man utd has the biggest fan base in the world so that means most couch potatoes. By putting on another game is potentially risking loads of those fans to watch something different. Unfortunately this is the sad state football is in in this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangle Foot Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I would of thought that Leicester C. vs Leeds Utd & Man City vs Wolves would have been more likely to be televised, than the games that have been chosen. Maybe if Leeds & Wolves had both been drawn at home, they would have been. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
