Wimbledon...One for you football moaners

[mightyWBA]

13 and a half hours of tennis on BBC1 and BBC2 today...and every day for nearly 2 weeks.
What do those on here that moan when a football match is shown for a couple of hours, occassionally, think of that?
Or are you all Pimms sipping strawberry munchers?

[Infomaniac]

It is only once a year, whereas football is on much more regularly, not that I moan about that either!

[mickrog]

I have no probs....tennis , football, cricket and snooker ....the more the better suits me. Just get rid of the soaps and I would be even happier lol
Sharapova looking better than ever.mmmmmmmmmmmm.

The Euro's and World Cup are every 4 years so happen a 2 yearly intervals.
Games are only shown on one station at a time.
My point is saturation coverage seems acceptable for a minority sport but as soon as the most popular sport in the World cause folks to miss their beloved soaps it's moan moan moan!

[Davethedog]

Live and let live WBA. The thing that gets me are the "soapers" on any given day there are around 3 hours of soaps yet they moan about football.

Don't watch soaps or Tennis but I don't moan there on.

I'm a Pimms drinking strawberry muncher (occasionally) but I can't bear Wimbledon fortnight. Give me the football any day. I'm looking forward to the Olympics too:-)

// I have no probs....tennis , football, cricket and snooker ....the more the better suits me.// Sport,Sport,& more bloody Sport. I'll say it one more time
''THERE SHOULD BE A SPECIAL CHANNEL FOR SPORT ONLY''.

[mightyWBA]

The Olympics will certainly cause the soap lovers to burst a blood vessel!
Can't wait for them :-)

[Duncer]

And another for soaps only, so that those who watch them can be cast aside to live in moan free bliss, and us fooball fans can also live in peace and quiet..

[mightyWBA]

How about a soap channel Ron?..That's a good idea :-)

[Duncer]

My idea!!!!

[Duncer]

............and a reality one too.

[Brenden]

Sorry to all who will not enjoy Wimbledon fortnight but I will savour every moment - oh - and the Olympics.

[cazzz1975]

I love sport! the more the better!!

The BBC seems able to find the money to broadcast extra HD channels for the Olympics - "24 live HD streams - accessible via your PC or broadcast on Sky/Virgin/Freesat"

So why are we still getting useless SD only versions of BBC3 and BBC4 ... even when the content is elderly SD material it would still look a lot better if they did a decent upscaling job and broadcast in HD.

[mightyWBA]

But you support the vanilla Cazz :-)

[cazzz1975]
