I read the article on the match in The Express (I didn't buy it, it was in a coffee shop :ph34r: ) they said something like it was a surprise let off for Sven and then they also commented on our new striker Jason Beckford. :rolleyes:

You`re getting a complex boys.

Ooh the BBC are giving more attention to the team that topped the league at 3 yesterday than they are to us.

Ooh they hate us.

What a whinging bunch you lot have turned out to be.

No, we're just annoyed that the wrong perception of the game was shown and described on the television.

It's nothing about the attention.

The BBC coverage of us is shocking, i really don't think they like us? well that's another one added to the list then!

Also i have to say we may aswell change our name to Big Spending Leicester City because that is only what i hear nowadays from all channels i may add!

Claridge is a City legend & one of my favourite City players, but what makes him such an expert in football management?

He really gets my back up, criticising Sven & City.

He says that Sven is the wrong man in the job at City, & that he should bring in players that will form an effective team, not just bringing them in 'cos they are Premier players etc.

He doesn't have a good word to say about Sven or City, but the funny thing is, I don't remember him being a great success in football management! He soon got found out that he was blody useless!

Keep it shut Steve & I have a feeling that you may have to eat your words!

In Sven we trust!

And as has been said many times before, but needs repeating for the benefit of the zombies who frequent this forum, Claridge has a record of achievement for our club. Sven doesn't.

When that changes, that might be the time to dismiss whatever he says or writes about Sven.

To be fair it's not the BBC, it's this crap show.

If they even just read their own match reports they'd understand more about what went on - much more accurate IMO

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14864133.stm

Brighton were knocked off the top of the Championship after Leicester ended their unbeaten start to the season.

The Foxes dominated the first half with Andy King and Sol Bamba being denied by Seagulls keeper Casper Ankergren.

And just 45 seconds after the break Yuki Abe powered in a header from Darius Vassell's left-wing cross.

Brighton's Craig Mackail-Smith volleyed over from three yards but Marcos Painter was sent off late on to all but end their hopes of salvaging a point.

Leicester were good value for their win though with pacy duo Vassell and Jermaine Beckford causing havoc up front.

And as Brighton pushed for an equaliser, they left gaps at the back which Beckford almost exploited. He broke and found Gelson Fernandes but the Swiss midfielder's shot cleared the crossbar.

Ryan Harley had two goalbound efforts blocked by Lee Peltier and Matt Mills as the visitors continued to venture forward.

But their adventure was checked when Painter was dismissed after picking up a second yellow card for a blatant handball with 10 minutes of the match remaining.

As much as I can't defend the absolute shitness of the BBC voice over report of our game. I think some people should be careful of critisising the BBC so much for the FLS, yet again.

You do realise that there is a distinct possibility that there may be NO football league highlights on terrestrial TV next season. When the Football League contract was negotiated earlier this year, Sky won the lot, with no one bidding on the highlights.

It has been mooted that the FL has even offered the highlights to the BBC for free, and they've rejected it.

Why?

Well, as part of the contract, the BBC are required to send cameras and cameramen to film every non live Football League and Carling Cup. This amounts to over £1m a year in costs, which is made even less attractive when you consider that Sky get all rights to that filming, and get to show it before the BBC do on SSN.

So rip into the BBC at your peril, but at least we have a highlights show.

The BBC has overstretched its sports budget for next year because of the Olympics. So it's having to make cutbacks.

One of the consequences is that some of next year's Formula 1 grand prix will be moved to Sky for live transmission. Another is the withdrawal of bids for screening rights for live lower league games, which will now be exclusively on Sky (as they were before 2009).

Maybe Channel 4 or Five will show an interest in screening highlights...

It's not just the Olympics.There's also the license fee being frozen. The contracts for things like the F1 and Championship games in 2007/08 when they were gearing up for the Beijing Olympics. You'd hope they at least did some simple forecasting along the lines of "these two contracts will run up to/beyond the next Olympics. We show the Olympics. We need the money to cover them both", before the license fee freeze caused a bit of trouble. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if they'd just ploughed on regardless.

It's only available to UK users. You'd need one of those ex-pat guard things to be able to watch it abroad.

Did you watch the Fooball Leafue Show last night? "Leicester faced a wave of attacks from Brighton but the defence held tight" (or something like that). I hate to moan but do these people actually go to the games? We were never even in trouble. We comfortably beat the "best team in the league". Anyway, I need to eat my bacon sandwich so I'll go away now just really annoyed.

I'm sure they have changed the commentary on this

I also thought it said something along the lines of the above, (or maybe I'm imagining things!) :blink:
