What a disgrace. Nothing on either TV1 or TV3. Expect
it from TVNZ, but I thought TV3 might have at least mentioned the
score, espcially given they had a football story on about the
Manchester United Cup. Instead they ran an absolute nothing
story about some women's rugby team in Aussie who have never scored
a point. Attrocious. Criminal. Disgraceful.
Now that Auckland are no longer in the A League, I was wondering
how long it would take their self centered bias to show.
There really wasn't a football game on last night because they
didn't show any goal coverage. But you got to see a skateboarder
fall from grace for about the third day in a row!
And they wonder why the rest of New Zealand think they're a
bunch of planks up there in the media?
in all honesty its pre season and they don't give a toss, wait till V3 starts and we start kicking ass then we'll get our deserved air time
Granted it is preseason but they had a story on the Corondilly womens rugby team from NSW who made the news 'cos they've never scored a point. And the big news from tonight...
...they still haven't.Surely the Phoenix game had to rate higher than that (2 blind
wombats playing tiddlywinks would rate higher than that).
Obviously not Malky. However if we were an Auckland team, we'd have
seen 5 minutes of highlights including an interview with a ball
boy!
We get to watch a story about a bunch of aussie she-males that are
basically just crap at rugby, but not a mention of the Nix win last
night!! There's a difference between being sly in not mentioning
footy and being totally obvious in the fact that your scared to
promote a sport the rest of the world watches!! Get a grip
TV3!!Hard News2007-08-05 19:59:39
i agree with you this is really unfair im sure more ppl care about
the phoenix more than sum aussie idi*t who cant stay on his board
Watch TV3 as they are the lesser of two evils. Had a good article
about some Central Utd kids training at Man Utd. No mention of Nix
game. They did on Prime however who are very good.
also watched TV3, hoping it would have some coverage, but as stated
above the ladies' rugby team from Warringatah is obviously more
newsworthy ..... and a schoolboy soccer training session .... and
an English rugby game ......
some words akin to 'newly formed Wellington Phoenix outclass last year's A league champions' would have been nice

Prime are the dark horse of network TV. Watch a proper version of
Deal or No Deal, followed by some decent news at 5:30!!
yep TV1 do not impress me,
I emailed them re last week's lack of coverage, their reply
was either ignorant or dishonest,
the tone was patronising, they represent a new zealand that
has gone into history - conservative fools
ye can someone please write an email again. How about we all do it.
Jst give me the link and ill send one. More complaints the
better!!!!

go to their website, I did last week to praise them for their
preview of the chch game
i'll go back to them and tv1 to slam them (again)
so much for TV 1's charter (whatever that is)
seems like a football fans' taxes aren't as good as rugby fans
(or imagined rugby fans) taxes
let's hassle both channels til they give us possesion!
Come on dont get to carried away its a play off for minor places in
a pre-season cup.If it was to continue when we get under way then
we can all jump up and down and bitch. TV3 has done okay so far
giving us some time in the past few weeks.
Really think some people are being just a little touchy on this.

TVNZ has become a Pat ourselves on the back Aucklanders because we
have no identity. I mean a city of people who are proud to be
called jafas?
Back to the TV debate. I would hope all the networks would get
behind a club that is taking on Australians, but tonight has left
me quite disappointed.

I don't think a couple of lines is too much to ask - however it does lack the vital ingredient; video footage.
So, I've sent an email to TV3 and suggested they source some video footage from SBS.
And it might be worth sending emails to TV1 and TV3 on Wednesday about the Friday night game?
Why would Auckland news report a Wellington team?? - they barely
mentioned the power being off for three weeks in the South Island
when they couldn't get a latte for ten minutes.

for me it's all about leaning on the mainstream media to do
whatever we can to lift the profile of the phoenix and
football,
whether we take the "squeaky wheel gets the oil
approach" or the "thanks for the coverage/crumbs" approach depends
on what we think will work best
so, does anyone here know how tv and other media factor emails
etc into their decision making about what to cover???
I'm severely pissed off. I saw TV3 news hoping for something and
when I saw that womens egg throwing team I hit the roof.
Its time for us to unite. We needs to bombard the TV3
website with complaints. I've done mine. Have you done yours?

Ringing is better than email. Email is lightweight.
If you ring and ask to be put through to the sports news
department you seriously piss them off, since you are taking people
away from their jobs. That was the Coro St oldies did it when their
programme was dropped during the Olympics a few years back.
Ring, complain. Ring again, use a different name, a different
accent. Pretend you're a Icelander. Just ring and clog up the
phones.
They can ignore email.

It got a mention on fox sports news in aus and there was no video footage
Antison, whoops, Valeo... did you watch TWG this arvo.
Any footage on there
Haha :D Saw my post on TSF?
Nah I didn't catch it - i'm pretty sure replays are put on the net soon after?

what annoys me is that when we got beat in the first game (CCM
game), TV1 and TV3 both mentioned it. "New soccer
team, the Phoenix (snigger) lost their first game (snigger) 2-0"
They didn't show footage as they had none, but they saw fit to
mention it.
When we win, and let's not forget that our 2 wins have been
against the last 2 champions, they go with the "only pre-season" or
"we have no footage" bullsh*t.
It really fcuks me off, and I would love it, really love
it.......
sorry - went all Keegan there for a second.

Geez - you get pissed off about small things. Who cares if they never show it on the news - we'll be at the home games and they'll show the others on the football shows anyway. TV stations should be able to show whatever they want or don't want to show. These days I watch most things on the net anyway.

sure it's their chocie what they show, and it's our choice how
we respond to that
we aren't asking to see Port Vale on tv (or, to be fair, Hull
City) -we are asking to see the best football team in the
land!!!
iv done my bit, disgusted at the lack of coverage, have requested
for it to be aire tomorrow nite, fingers crossed

agreed Frankie, I'm not aware of any law in this country that
says you have to have footage before you are allowed to mention a
result
and yep in most sports an NZ team win is what gets coverage
(funny that)
I think everyone should relax a bit, it is preseason. Start
burning cars during the real season if you have to.
And as for Phil Mitchell saying Prime News is the way to go,
please. I don't think they even have a New Zealand reporter
do they?
On another note, I saw old Clint Brown back on telly. (Sky
sports news) I take he back in favour after his wee
dust-up. BOOYA!!!
good to see the rugby boofhead journo's are alive and well, we will
get this all year unless we all get into them now and keep the acid
on. One thing though it was great to see all the Phoenix lamppost
flags all down Aotea quay this afternoon and great website guys
cheers Fletty snr
This has got nothing to do with the Phoenix being a Wellington
team. All the Knights ever got was their bad news stories and now
the Phoenix are copping the same. Bet of they lost 8 - 0 they'd
have got on!
I wonder if we called them the Auckland Rugby Phoenix would the
game have got a mention? You bet!
Fletty how did the training session go with the NIX.
the trainings wer unbelevable m8 definately a franchise heading in
the rite direction players r fantastic realy positive riki nos wat
he is duin xpect sum mor results like saturday
