Con, can you desist with the small print it makes your posts look like an insurance contract.

Re: FA Cup Semi Finals
Yep, can't deny your point there NOC. The FA Cup gets plenty of viewers on the Continent.Nice One Cyril wrote:Con, I think you'll find that the Dutch and Spanish audiences will be perfectly happy with a 5pm kick off.Con M wrote: That 5 pm London time is a pity for fans of the game in Australia. Spells the end of the traditional FA Cup night Aussie party. Still we're at the 'a.r.s.e end of the World', quoting Paul Keating and they're not gonna care in England that the game is telecast at 1.30 am here.
Similarly FIFA couldn't give a fuck that the Australia v. Netherlands game on Thursday 19/6 is at 1.30 am here, and the Australia v. Spain game on Tuesday 24/6 is at 1.30 am here. Yet the inconsistent mugs FIFA did shift the Italy v England game time to suit TV audiences in those countries - so they could have done the same to those aforementioned games to better suit Dutch, Spanish & Aussie TV audiences.
ps, on that other point I digressed to NOC, it's too late now but do you think FIFA could have scheduled the OZ/Netherlands & OZ/Spain game for a dawn TV k.o. in OZ to help the sport's profile in our developing country? The Dutch and Spaniards would have been comfortable with a corresponding late evening TV k.o. in their countries.

But formerly Old Master, look back on the thread - I only used the smaller font if I was making an aside to the topic at hand, or if I digressed somewhat from the topic...oldfart wrote:Con, can you desist with the small print it makes your posts look like an insurance contract.

Bollocks. You had already digressed from the topic when you began talking about the final.
