You might find that not many people care about the SPL. They won't
even show England Estonia so SPL will be a big no no :)
If it isn't Old Firm derby then i don't think people are going to
jump at the chance to watch the SPL. I enjoyed watching
NZFC highlights i think when there isn't rugby on a friday
night they should have a live game of the NZFC.

I dont care that you dont care what I think, what made you think I did? I dont argue with everyone...mostly just you, because 90% of what you post is utter sh*t, and the rest of the 10% has some potential, but I manage to pick holes in it so I can reel ya in.
Sky is sh*t though, f**k all football, best is ESPN, which is Yank for f**ks sake, the commentators are utter sh*te. I've gone to watching football on my computer, free and illegal programs but if thats the lengths I gotta go to get it I will. We should bring over Fox Sports from Aussie, they seem to do an excellent job, even have Championship games on.
What pissed me off recently about SKY is that they didnt show Aussie v Uruguay, which although a friendly featured some A-League players and I wanted to have a look. Thank God they showed a replay the next day, but it should be live because they only show sh*t like replays of rugby that has been on 10 times already (and everyone was bored of it the first time they showed it) or cricket which goes on for 3 days. YAWN. ESPN is the best and 1 time i was trying to watch something, and guess what they were showing, Hot Dog eating competitions. I couldnt believe it.
"I just believe that NZ media is deliberatly trying to subvert
football, be it TVNZ, SKY the papers or radio. Its ingrained
into them to do it."
they nearly had 24 hour football coverage on there Star network.
And i could watch live games at a decent hour :)
That sounds brilliant, not having to get up at 3 in the morning to watch a game.

bro idc what you think. your that big as prick who argues with
everyone. please leave me from my discussions
and yes bro i agree with you.
They don't have NZFC on a friday night, but I think NZFC, A-League,
EPL and Champions League should come before the SPL.
bro they already show the aleague epl and champs league> theres
to much ruga not enough footy
The only way they will show the NZFC is if someone pays them
too. That ain't happening.
how about everyone on yellowfever devotes all there money and
savings to the NZFC getting showen on sky... PFFFFT
couple of seasons back sky showed SPL and the dutch
league through ESPN.
should put it back on.
I've just ditched Sky (despite the upcpoming phoenix games) becuase
it just aint worth the money.
I got it for football. When I first got it they used to have
one SPL game per week plus a highlights package. Not many kiwis
maybe care for the SPL, but the real point is the lack of variety
in the football coverage. Also, bugger all Euro Qualifiers, as
someone pointed out above. Yet I am paying tru the nose for a bunch
of rugby i don't give a sh%$ about.
Sky seriously need some competition in this country...
There would be more point in having a football channel than a rugby
channel.
Football is 12 months of the year and always live football
from anywhere in the world.
The rugby channel should be renamed the replay channel cause
thats all thats ever f##ken shown!
Why dont you go to the Wellington Celtic Supporters Club on Cambridge Tce and watch the games there. They have live coverage off the Net.
You should try online streaming of games, not entirely legal and
the quality isn't great, but its better than near non existant
coverage of football on sky. herman2007-06-11 21:30:11

Chch where they show the Celtic games/.//
Petition for Sky to make a football channel
Would be easy for classic matches as there has bin so many,
and interviews etc etc etc
well world football is available here on various satellites, I now
that TRT shows some turkish games and highlights, Dutch chanel
shows some games from the dutch league and ERT shows almost every
olympiakos game and Greek derby game, unfortunatly i doubt people
would watch these leagues but also becasue of the language
barrior.
My point is that there is world footy available ao they could make a channel quite easily but i dont think it would fly, although TVNZ could put say 4 hours of highlights on the Maori channel instead of showing that random map all the time (the hours its not screning anything) or make a sports channel on that new satellite tv thing theyre making

Sky is introducing a new channel next month called Sky Sport
Highlights. Might see some more football through this maybe?
Although it will probably just be rugby replays all week.
Sky ditched the SPL and Dutch League to buy Primera Liga games and
a crap Serie A game now, Yeah Cagliari, Lazio!! But I like this set
up better than the previous.
Yeah getting a satellite dish may get you channels that you want, you'd need to check the channels list for our area to see if you can get that. Costs a bit to get it done but no monthly fees.

To be honest I think that number of people who are into football in
this country is big enough that we shouldn't have to be mucking
around setting up our own satellite dishes etc. There is a buck to
be made here and Sky isn't doing it because they don't have to -
they have a nice cosy monopoly and consumers just have to take
whatever bullsh*t gets pumped at them...
Sky's coverage of EPL - great
Sky's coverage of Champions league - ok
A league - ok
everything else? - crap
Sky's coverage of Champions league - ok
its espn who does it. which is a channel that sky has the
rights to show.
No way. If they have a football channell then all the epl games and
HAL games would be shown live on there instead. I'm quite happy
paying the standard sports package but I aint paying another
farkin cent if I don't have to.
id get it depending on how much OTHER football they showed
Champions League is on both ESPN and Sky. We definitely need a
football channel. Someone should write a letter to Sky concerning
it.

Thats what this is about brother...
would sign it myself too celt
Currently Sky has in as well as ESPN has good coverage of: English
Premier League, Spanish La Liga, UEFA Champions League, A
League.
And shows some games from: Italian Serie A, MLS, German Cup, Englsih FA Cup, English League Cup, UEFA cup.
Internationally: Good coverage of the two major events (World Cup, European Championship), currently playing U21 Euro, A few friendlies and International Qualifiers.
Sky had Scottish Premier League, Dutch Eredivise and various Highlight packages from around Europe and the World.
A dedicated football channel would be hard to have as many football matches are played at the same time. What other leagues would you like to see?
French Ligue 1
Scottish Premier League
Die Bundisliga
Eredivisie...
This sounds like a message from Sky TV. Anyway, I'd like to see more Serie A games even just a few big games instead of Lazio, Ascoli, Cagliari, Torino. Milan derby would be good and some highlight shows with recent games not what they used to have highlights of games 2 weeks old. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the current coverage, Although whats with All Whites games getting the elbow to SS2 for Rugby games that don't involve the ABs.

i'd like to see coverage of all the games (in top flight football)
with Kiwis involved, eg: Celtic, Toronto, Columbus etc etc.
a football channel would be great, but sky would charge like a wounded bull, tinny bastards.

You know what. Whilst I support the idea of a footie channel
instead of the current deal, I have a feeling like some here that
sky would put all football onto it leaving nothing on the normal
bands. That ain't good for the pure fact that most kiwis
would have absolutly no chance of watching football at all.
Its a pity really.
While I was living in the USA I saw womens football, the
NSL and college football on cable as well as free to air tv
live.
And now here in the UK Rugby and football are about on
equal terms (given the availabity of both, ie tons of footie but
also lots of Rugby).
I just believe that NZ media is deliberatly trying to subvert
football, be it TVNZ, SKY the papers or radio. Its ingrained
into them to do it.
disco_mart2007-06-13 09:48:21
ESPN is a joke, and a poor quality one at that. They have some good
games albeit with budget picture. And the rest of the time they
have spelling bee, hot-dog eating, and once I had the misfortune of
switching to ESPN and unless my memory decieves me, it was either
showing Chess or Scrabble, I can't remember which. I mean that is
just down-right pathetic. I've also seen "women's pro action
bowling" on ESPN, something must be done!
I am glad that I have got that off my chest :)

What a complete joke this is. Do you really think all the
big media organisations in New Zealand are purposely ignoring
football and deliberately trying to push it into the
background? The coverage the Phoenix has got in the DomPost
and on ZB in Wellington has been considerable.
I suppose you cheer for whoever's playing the All Blacks too
as your little protest against the coverage rugby gets.

pfffffffft
The problem I have with ESPN is that sky has no control over
content, they get the whole package "as is" of the satelite. I have
stayed up late to watch WC or Euro qualifiers that they list on the
little blue bar at the bottom of the screen. Then I checked the
online guide and there is no mention of the football, and to my
suprise 3am rolls up and there is replays of national line dancing
competition or some other bollacks. I have phoned sky to ask about
this and they say, they are told what will be on, advertise it as
such, then at the last minute espn may change the time or omit it
completely. I subscribe to Arsenal's TV online and i get to listen
to every live game whether its league cup, fa cup or priemeir
league, just no live images as that would piss of the networks
. What im
saying is i would pay for a Decent Football channel. When i was in
singapore on holiday my wife struggled to drag me out of the hotel
as they nearly had 24 hour football coverage on there Star network.
And i could watch live games at a decent hour :)
That sounds brilliant, not having to get up at 3 in the morning to watch a game.

Yeah I do mate, some post grad research I did
supports this idea (especially at TVNZ).
And look, Cricket, Rugby and that stupid sport netball get
more coverage in their off seasons the football does during the on
season. As for the two examples you gave, they've only
recently started doing that and it is becuase they have jumped
on the Phoenix band wagon (thats a good thing) but 12 months ago
the Dom was rubbish. And one final point most articles you
read in any of our print media are/were only NZ Football, NZ
Knights or Phoenix press releases, no reporters do/did the required
journalism.
And no I don't, I go to ALL AB games where possible.
Went and saw the Maoris play the other day and even had a
few drinks with them post match

any word on the streaming sites mate,
also it was brought to my attention that certain media companies in Aus linked with AFL purposefully dogged the melbourne fans and the A-league pulling the hooligan card which i think is very cowardly and childish
i immagine us chanting semi loud, banners, bit of jumping after goals and if we are lucky a flare.
....we are not going to behave any where near fans at a PAOK VS ARIS game in greece or euro derby match....
where fans, take bombs, light fires, light upwards of 40 flares, fight with each other, police and firemen too, attack players from opposing teams equipment like thier bus......the list goes on.....this is hooliganism not what we will be doing
so i fear we will be attacked by the media and im posative that rugby fans fear the development of this sport in NZ,rugby is a mino game and always will be only afew countries actually care about it, NZ, SA and wales, plus pacific countries.
also the fact that parents prefere their kids to play footy not rugby for obvious reasons
when the time comes we should discuss a family zone for games where parents can be assured that no violent or offensive behvior takes place. Hopefully this will combat anti footy media
