Out of the 4 matches one was on TNT yesterday and another is on TNT today. The other two were on BBC but as I said there was no evening Match of the Day.

I’m aware of that.

Half of the FA Cup quarters have been paywalled and it’s a great shame.

Yes, it is a shame. I agree with you. Apologies - I didn't mean to imply that you weren't aware.

Why is football anymore stupid than crappy Soaps?

i don't watch soaps.
a whole bank holiday weekend Saturday night full of football is crap.

Football like other sport should all be on a pay channel so people interested in it can pay a subscription like I have to do to watch many series I like

That’s the spirit! Reduce viewing access to major sporting competitions for children from disadvantaged backgrounds! Way to go 👏🏼

FA Cup weekend. Soon be the World Cup. Lovely

FKAT · 05/04/2026 12:46

there are literally hundreds of free to air channels and streaming services that cost less than a licence fee - no idea why you expect one channel to cater for your specific tastes

I’ve learned in my 42 years on Earth, that if there is something on a channel that I don’t like, I use this gadget called a ‘remote control’ and simply put another channel on. This enables me to watch something else! It’s great!

And football fans probably resent having to pay the licence fee for things you like.

Why should the sports be behind a paywall and not what you prefer to watch? Why are your preferences deemed as superior?

We loved watching the football and can’t wait for the World Cup. We enjoy watching sports as a family.

There are loads of other channels.

The BBC has 2 main channels. BBC1 was men's football for over 5 hours and BBC2 had women's boxing. Shite schedulers at the BBC.

Some of us loved it. But then I can’t stomach Michael McIntyre or Gladiators or the usual Saturday night dirge.

I live midway between Southampton and Portsmouth and not really a football fan at all but as it is a "local" team I did watch the Southampton/Arsenal match.

Ordinarily, I might have been really annoyed football took up so much of the evening viewing but I made an exception last night.

Well done Saints! ⚽

I live minutes from The Emirates (but support Tottenham) so was cheering for Southampton - but not too loudly 🤣 It was a fantastic match.

Actually all of them were on TNT yesterday and today.

BBC showed 2 as well

Spirallingdownwards · 05/04/2026 14:01

Yes great wasn't it.

As noone had said it already you are free to switch channels or even turn off. But we didn't.

Different strokes for different folks as the saying goes.

Surely you mean shite scheduling by the FA?

Nope. I can accept the football. But not the boxing when there's sport on the other main channel.

@Ithinkofawittyusernamethenforgetit I know a good few people who live in Goonerland but support Spurs

FKAT · 05/04/2026 15:20

Whenever I turn on the main channels there's always something starring an middle aged actress who used to be in a soap or sitcom and she is having an affair or investigating a murder and sitting in a white kitchen drinking a large glass of red wine.

I'd rather watch Accrington Stanley vs Morpeth.
