I suspect Foxtel are playing silly buggers with the video clips. I imagine WU must be pretty aggrieved since their achieving finals football in their first season is a significant story. Anyway, up the Jets, at least for today. I just look at my phone these days and there's been bugger all on the ABC News app there. Old-fashioned buzzard that I am I don't like turning on the TV until evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I does seem that there might something with the imaging rights, they always used to show the highlights and were pretty good at covering the A-League.

ABC radio is the same, no mention of the sport in sport news bulletins. It just doesn’t help towards exposure, imagine being a sponsor?

fensaddler Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Might help if we all contacted the ABC and raised this with them. I gather soccer is the largest participation sport in the country, so to ignore the game at its highest level is hardly meeting the interests of its audience.

It’s indeed interesting they never used to be like this, I wonder if something has changed in the media rights. Plenty of interested in netball suddenly on ABC. I’m not on social media much but it would hurt to message Paul Kennedy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 What's interesting to me is that a number of teams have had the chance to put pressure on us for second place and they have all fallen at the final hurdle. Our four points from the Sydney and Adelaide matches have got us there. In the past it would have been us who fell over with the finishing line in sight.

johnno cpfc Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I watched the match and was disgusted with the kayo coverage including the ad break at the 33min and again in the second half at the 66min . This must be a new thing as there has been no ads during play for the rest of this season so i complained to kayo and got a reply " You can watch uninterupted play on Foxtel channel 507 " thats says it all for me i can see why Foxtel are in debt now, by pissing of their remaining customers, i replied to them that i was an ex customer of Foxtel and will never sign up to Foxtel again if this is the way they treat customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just given Foxtel the flick for a mix of Fetch and Kayo. We won't be going back. Typical foxtel low trick to try and sabotage kayo to get people back. They must think we're as stupid as they are mendacious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 So after tonight's match, what are the fixtures? I take it that on Saturday 4 will play 5 and 3 will play 6, but then what happens?

I take it that on Saturday 4 will play 5 and 3 will play 6, but then what happens? I can't find anything on the League website. Yep that's the structure IIRC. I suspect that the games will be confirmed straight after our game tonight since league position will be final. Update: the official aleague website is listing the two elimination games for this Saturday at 5pm (Aug 22) and then Sunday at 6pm (Aug 23). interestingly, Wellington are currently scheduled for the Saturday and Geelong United for Sunday since only those two teams can finish 3rd and Perth are guaranteed 6th. i wonder what would happen if Geelong somehow manage to get third - do they swap around the two teams? The semis are slated for the following Wednesday (Aug 26) with us playing the early game at 5 pm and Sydney at 8.10 pm. obviously our opponents are TBC, but the kick off times are there. The GF is on the following Sunday (Aug 30) at 6.30 pm https://www.a-league.com.au/fixtures#!/fixtures/s2019/r29 Edited August 19, 2020 by mattyh001 Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
