I also agree...really pissing me off too!

also today Spurs were playing...they've always has "TOT" in the score bare to represent them...now it's TH.

Even my mum was like...who are they? I said spurs...she said "why doesn't it say tot??"

That was exactly my first thought when I put the match on on Sunday (was out on Sat so missed live footy :oops:).

They just put it there for the sake of changing it every year. At the top all its doing is blocking out some of the crowd, whereas at the bottom, they are actually playing football!!!!! :evil:

Got used to it after a while though :roll:


As for Setanta, it is a pain in the arse, as if you're already shelling out gizzillions of pounds for Sky :shock: , then you'd rather them have all the games, rather than have to pay someone else too. Thats not skys fault though, its the FA's, for making it so one channel couldnt have all the matches. Think we also lost some England Friendlies to Setanta too :x
Cheaper than PremPlus though! :wink:

Agree about the new score location......... I still look to the top left all the time and if i walk into a game i sometimes have to sit and ponder as to who the hell is playing!!!!!


Thankfully i already have Setanta as i've been an NASN subscriber for just over two years and they were bought out by Setanta last year..... This meant i then got charged an extra couple of quid a month but got all the extra Setanta channels. It didn't please me at the time but now that the footy is on there plus the live BTCC i'm not so angry..... Plus they use Setanta 1 & Setanta Ireland as NASN extra channels after around midnight so i literally get 3 NASN channels!!!! :D




Cheers

Dave.
