Will Tv3 bother with the champions league now?

    Does no Man Utd in the 2nd round see tv3 in a tricky spot or will it be the making of them? They may actually find out that there are more than two teams in the world - Man Utd and the going down easy, definitely offside, looked like a handball to me Mark opposition of Man Utd.

    I hope they go bust.

    They will show them in the Europa League instead.

    Fcuking hell. You hope loads of people lose their jobs because they show United so much.

    Do you know they don't give two sh1ts how many times they show the one team? It's all about viewer figures. They won't start mixing around with games now. If Chelsea games consistently get higher figures than Arsenal games then they will continue to show Chelsea games.

    Who did they show last nite??

    Could probably switch to Real or Barca matches?

    Either that or a possible ManU v Birmingham clash of the titans.

    You can get a 12 month Al Jazeera subscription for less than the price of our license fee. Just do that and you wont have to complain on here about them showing United.

    The point being made from what I can see is that TV3 will always show Manchester United when they play on Tuesdays. They couldn't do it this week as United played on Wednesday.

    Tuesday games - TV3
    Wednesday games - RTÉ

    Arsenal and Chelsea will rotate the nights, one Tuesday and one Wednesday.

    Who watches TV3 anyway??? Fcukin tabloid tv for the mentally retarded.



    Id rather watch a laggy stream with some d1ckhead Arab mouthing off than watch that awful coverage offered by TV3.


    Its only saving grace is the fact that they have a news broadcast at half 5 which fits perfectly into my schedule with regards to me eating my dinner at half 5.

    They will. Personally I don't agree with what the OP is saying before anyone jumps down my throat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,388 ✭✭✭d22ontour


    Important Viewing figures > Not Important So called 'neutral' fans opinions on what games should be shown.

    Repeat 10 times to self.

    I know that smartarse. They cant show united because they are out so they will show the other clubs that they show for 50% of the time anyway. So whats the point of this thread considering they show arsenal the other 50%.

    I used to when they called it the Uefa cup and they had a knockout from the beginning. Trying to copy the CL format for lesser teams lost its respect

    Only because those two clubs played on the same night, did they get fair coverage from TV3 and RTE.

    In previous seasons, they would always come up short to United and Liverpool in the coverage.

    Tv3 is amazing compared to 3e though.. :(

    Tv3 are the kiss of death: the moment they stary showing an interest in a team, they're doomed.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Thats an interesting question you pose:

    If united go out of the FA Cup will espn show it? Yes
    If united go 20 points behind in the league, will sky show them? Yes
    If united go out of league cup, will sky/bbc show it? Yes


    now.........

    United went out of the Champions league, Will TV3 show it? Yes

    Strangely simple one really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭uncleoswald


    They will continue to show the game that will guarantee them the most viewing figures and therefore the biggest advertising revenue. Mad I know
