Isn't it time for the introduction of a form of legal requirement for news organisations (ie: our national TV provider) to report a certain quota of non-rugby/netball/NRL stories. Without getting too animated about this particular situation but isn't it more important to NZ that we get a report on our country's only professional soccer team over a report on David Beckham playing 15 minutes in another friendly in LA?

No it's not time - quotas would be worse than watching One Auckland News in the first place.

Its an untelevised preseason game of course there isn't going to be coverage, wait to the season proper begins before complaining.

The difference between the Auckland Wellington rahrah and the NIx Bling, is that it is a preseason COMPETITION, ala the old NRL preseason comp which was well covered, live TV etc. Just keep your heads up, there is zip all you can do about it, it aint going to change until the A League has bedded in a few years longer.

There was a single sentence giving the (correct) score at the end of Sport 365 on SKY.  Agree with the above; it'll be much better come August 26...

Having said that Sky News has been frequently giving the Preseason results and I think they have been showing some goals.

Bet you if the Phoenix had lost 3-0 it would have got a mention !
As for that stupid air hostess Swanson Roe - 5-0 to the Phoenix ???? reported on Prime. Unfortunately most NZ media don't have a clue about soccer.

A agree this would have been the case. . .  And yet they still find time to run a cynical story about LA Galaxy . . .

Poor coverage by all tv stations. What will be interesting is to see how they cover the Christchurch game. I`m picking it will be better.

I understand that there was no television coverage of the game and all that, but not even a single sentence, just giving the result? Shame on TV1 and TV3.

The sports editors at both TV1 and TV3 have their heads so far up their f**king arses that their adams apples' are their noses.  They seem to believe that a victory over Australia  in netball is a major blow to their sporting psyche when in reality - Aussies consider it a "dull minority sport that nobody really gives a rat�s chuff about"....

I know this has been touched on but it is almost as if there is some sort of  (subliminal) mindset from Media Rugby Heads where they see Football as some serious threat to the domination of Rugby.
Using that rational, Therefore,it makes sense to denegrate a sport when things aren't 100% and ignore when they are going well.
Happens too often to be a nonsense.
"Opinion creates Opinion" and the media are well aware of this.

Priorities Lads. Your eager audience is awaiting every crumb. There's a responsibility when you put your hand up for those media jobs. Even Mr CutnPaste himself, Colin Chin ventured out today and not a schoolboy in sight. I'm sure he'll dig up something though about how Daniel was once a schoolboy  Get home and get editing!

OK, I hear what you guys are saying but...
 
The NPC warm-up game between Wlg and Akl at the same venue (and with twice as many people there) also got no coverage on TVNZ and TV3.
 
Tonight's sports news did have a lot on it; Bledisloe test, AB World Cup squad announced, a wierd netball test, Open golf, Warriors, Hamilton crashing etc...  Pre-season friendlies don't cut it with that lot.
 
BTW, the Beckham thaing probably made it because there were no Royal Family stories tonight

According to one Hard News on the Cove forum the attendance at this rugby game was 1200. Any comments News? http://www.sfcu.com.au/smf/index.php?topic=2989.105

It's fair enough to say that it shouldn't of been shown because it was just pre season - but it had a lot more significance than that. It was the Phoenix's first win ever, their first game on home soil and the A-League pre season is actually a competition.

They talked about it here on SBS, THe World Game when they were going through all the games in the preseason cup....You can tell by the look on Craig Fosters face that he was surprised that the Phoenix won, Didn't really say much about the phoenix except that they played well, mainly went on about Sydney problems. Nestling2007-07-23 03:19:50

It's NOT fair enough that it wasn't shown. It was preseason, but it is a preseason COMPETITION, not a f*cking warm up game, like the rugby. TV used to show the NRL preseason competition not only on the news, but as live coverage, until it was canned and would continue to do so.
Australian media have always given the A League preseason COMPETITION, proper coverage and still do - and there is no excuse for the NZ TV media not to do the same.
I am not counting the press and the radio in this, the coverage so far has been spot on.
So also be precise with your criticism, the media is more than just one faction and the DO read this.

i wonder what tv would have done if they had lost or only a handful of people turned out - those fisheads at tv (both channels) will be wanting this team to fall over as it is not in auckland!!! it is frustrating as someone from another successful sporting code which also struggles for airtime in this country -
