Pr!cks. Apparently no telly over here either, so much for the world's premiere cup competition eh. Nothing new here though Ken, I couldn't find a live broadcast of the two F.A. Cup finals, and had to fly into Seattle to watch last years Semi final. But then it's not about money is it??

I can't remember this happening last season. Is it something new?

It's the same situation as with the Olympics.....when they negotiated the new contracts they were so keen to get it out, get it announced and get the Beeb stitched up that they forgot that they had failed to cover the internet issue.

Apparently in the cold light of day it shows that the BBC bid was the only one that actually took the internet into consideration, and the FA Cup is on Sky and ITV still this season. It should be OK next season......but that's twelve months away.

enjoy it gus!

Anyone got any idea who to complain to at the FA for this shamblic, outrageously late and frankly disgraceful decision??

It's not a late decision. FAC match webcast rights were pulled last season. A few clubs managed to sneak a webcast through until the FA caught on. But at least there was tv broadcast. Apparently parts of the world won't even get that much this season. >:-/
