TV3 Sport news had an item about Sven the Swede taking over at Man City - and that's great. But, and it's a big but, they had an on-screen graphic at the top of the item with Sven and a Man U crest. Now I'm not a fan of either side, but having lived in the UK for 9 years I know how much love is lost between the two sides. There really is no excuse for such an elementary mistake - shame on TV3.

Nothing, but I noticed it as well and it is a basic mistake.

they have stuffed up quite a bit on TV3, i guess its just a lack of knowledge on the people doing  the graphics, but you can get in trouble for that sort of thing especially if the story is a negative one which would reflect badly on the wrong company/person/club whatever.

They actually do it on a regular basis and not just sports items.

I remember not long ago an item on Pinochet (former Chilean president) and the had the Argentinian flag behind him. Happened to catch the same item on Nightline the same night and they had fixed it.

They are just a bunch of dumbasses.

Yeah I saw it too.  I wasn't sure whether to be peeved cos they obviously have no idea about football, or to just be satisfied that football made the news for a change.
 
P.S. Valeo - This thread is titled "English Football Discussion" so suggest you go back to Phoenix thread if thats all you are able to talk about.

Face it, on TV 3, Tv1 & Sky, unless it's Manure, it doesn't count for TV time. The only time Manure are not shown is when the suffer a rare heavy defeat, then the coverage seems to accidently disappear!!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
