Title: FA Cup televised games
Post by: NickDRFC on January 14, 2021, 06:27:00 pm
8 games televised and we’re not one of them. Think our game looks a better prospect than a couple they’ve picked but looks like it’s back to the FA Player.

Game confirmed for Saturday 3pm, though.

Two other fourth-round matches on Saturday will be available live on BBC's digital platforms - Sheffield United's game against Plymouth Argyle and West Ham's tie against Doncaster Rovers (both 15:00 GMT kick-offs).

according to bbc

It appears that the tv powers that be do not expect a shock result in our match.

No surprise about the main game eh......

The mouth-watering FA Cup fourth-round match between rivals Manchester United and Liverpool will be shown live on the BBC.

The teams, who have lifted the trophy 19 times between them, face each other on Sunday, 24 January (17:00 GMT).

There is the prospect of shocks in the BBC's two other ties.

Manchester City are at League Two side Cheltenham Town (23 January, 17:30 GMT) and Chelsea host Championship side Luton Town (24 January, 12:00 GMT).

BBC One Wales will show Swansea City's clash against fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest (Saturday, 23 January, 15:00 GMT).

Two other fourth-round matches on Saturday will be available live on BBC's digital platforms - Sheffield United's game against Plymouth Argyle and West Ham's tie against Doncaster Rovers (both 15:00 GMT kick-offs).

Mouth watering when both teams play a much weakened team! Sure it’s going to be mouth watering

No surprise they pick teams that will get the viewers and then usually when the lesser teams are at home with more chance of a upset

This is all a bit strange. FA now saying that losers in Fourth Round DO get cash, which they had said was not the case.

If their statement today is correct, then we are guaranteed £65,000 even if we lose (£42,500 TV money and £22,500 losers’ money).

If we beat them, the cash in this round is going to be almost irrelevant given the TV riches in the next round, but the total cash would be £110,000.

I haven't seen the statement you're referring to CBCB but I have said before and have expected all along that that FA page people kept showing with prize money amounts on was simply being updated round by round to reflect the total amounts they had settled on, and not that teams were not going to get anything for losing.

Hope it works as BBC sometimes will not work with a VPN. Test it first if you haven't already.

I’ve noticed the picture quality is better using the app rather than the sky channel.

Anybody else?

I watch bbc stuff on iplayer rather than through an aerial (don't have a sat dish) for that same reason.
