Still this crap goes on gotta love Silvio ,FIGC power to override the courts so they avoid a lawsuit from Catania and decree they shouldnt be relegated but also add in a team from below who didnt win promomtion but were promoted

FIGC chief Franco Carraro said that Fiorentina - which was one of Italy's most successful clubs before it went bankrupt last year - should be in the second division because it had many fans, and drew big TV audiences.

Poor buggers but this isnt the 1st time they did this.
The big clubs want the little clubs to pay them if the league is postponed.

I wonder if there's any hope of Football Italia returning to Channel4?

is there any italian football on tv at all this season?

preferably free-to-air. but i'd be interested to know if there's any paid tv with italian football, too?

Eurosport say they will have it again.

Some good games on but without that C4 guy it lacks something in the presentation used to like him amazed Sky never nailed him.

football italia used to come on C4 for years, but a couple of seasons ago when i was going to start watching it regularly it was gone :mad:
i think they do some dinky highlights at something like 1am, unless they stopped doing that as well since

can't see full match coverage coming back, unfortunately

I'd be happy just with extended highlights... Let's start petitioning TG4!

Yeh they stopped all coverage last season 'cos the Italian FA were looking for too much money.

I don't have Eurosport
