How curious. Love your avatar, missus and me used to have ST's at La Roselada years ago. Fine team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Graham Norton. OB team only realised once the match finally finished they wouldn't be allowed to over-run due to Graham's contract. He MUST be on air by 2240 - I kid you not. Which is why they abruptly ended without all the usual things, including our goals edit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is true but it does not surprise me, the BBC bangs on about the magic of the cup, but once they get to the third round it becomes one big circle jerk over the big teams. Your mate is correct, Ole. I thought the exact same thing. The half time score, being the same as the Arsenal Man U game, was briefly mentioned but nothing at all at Full Time. Indeed, as the coverage finished the commentator said that the fourth round weekend has kicked off with an exciting encounter won by Man U. It is all very well giving Prem clubs massive coverage and excusing this by saying that they are the elite. However, the FA Cup isn't played on a league basis. Teams in the fourth round have achieved as much as each other in getting there, indeed some have achieved more, those being the smallest clubs. The BBC like to promote The Romance of the Cup, particularly in rounds one and two and the final preliminary round. But as soon as the elite of the Prem become involved in Round 3, it is like these smaller Romantic clubs no longer exist. The BBC can't even spare the breath to give out a final score involving them or get their facts right. Bristol City were first into the 5th round, Man U were second. But viewers, according to the BBC, are now only interested in Man U so it is Man U who kick off the fourth round weekend and Man U who are the first to reach the 5th round. Why bother mentioning Bristol City when that space can be used to say the words Manchester United a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 4 hours ago, Never to the dark side said: Both City goals were on BBC Local news at 22:25pm and on the BBC News channel (Sky 503) in the 22.30 Sports round up. Interestingly they showed all four goals from the Arsenal game, but only City's from ours. Bolton fans have cause to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to Sky not having the rights to the FA Cup they do their best to pretend it doesn`t exist. apart from the Soccer Special games where they have to cover the scores or look pretty stupid they do try and forget it`s happening.

BCFC11 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I think the OP is referring to the Arsenal v Man Utd game live on BBC, and usually they mention the other scores on the night but don’t think they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Today's (Saturday's) Times had not even a small report- but 2 pages at least on the Arsenal-Man Utd game. Don't even think it had the teams from last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main news comes on and sport section goes into arsenal v man u game and again not even a mention of city... This is disgraceful from the BBC on all front at least mention the score, I know we're not a premium team but as first team into 5th round survey worth mentioning... What is the meaning of "under the radar"? The meaning of "under the radar" is: doing something without other people noticing.............................................

We got a tiny mention at the end of half time but nothing at full time, not even score updates in the first half when the goals were going in (admittedly we kicked off 10mins earlier but still nothing discussed in the studio). Complete overkill by BBC, even worse on talkSport who did a 3hr build up programme to the game, you'd have thought it was the end of football as we know it.
