TV1 and TV3

TV1 and TV3

Nice to see both channels give us time with a story about Ed Baranowski.

Which was best??

I only saw the tv 3 one. Good to see them getting some good fitness focus. Too many slouchy looking players last season, not to mention those late goals.

TV 1 was pretty good. Leitch went straight into the chelski win straight after and no smart arse remark was forth coming.

Both surprisingly were pretty good - except for Veitch's/poison dwarf's weird screechy voice. 

Man I though this was another thread complaining about lack of coverage and I was all prepared to bust in here with my 'What! We should be complaining to Sky Sports Highlight channel, during the EPL season it was only 'best of the rest' and now there's one week left there is Football highlights but irregularly scheduled...Ridiculous!"

But to keep this on topic, the story said that he was at 5 EPL teams but only mentioned Blackburn and Leeds, anyone know the others.

Newcastle.

almost fell over when TV1 had it on, then as LG said Vietch didn't stuff it up with a 'look at me comment'    well done State broadcaster - tigers2008-05-06 21:05:14

i have it on good authority that julie ashe the tv1 wellington sports reporter is looking to do a fair bit more on the nix this season so watch this space.

tigers - clear ya inbox

 done

I watch Tv3 more often so i hope they continue to lead

So the pre-season form stands at 1-1. Be interesting to see if both camps can maintain this sort of positive form. I sincerely hope so. Lonegunmen2008-05-06 23:52:48

Before we start jizzing over TV1 efforts tonight - my money this season is certainly on TV3 to pull through in the battle for YF approval.  Why?

Doesnt one of the TV3 guys post on here occaisionally. im sure ive seen someone with an old tv3 logo as thier avatar.

Ya, Andrew Gourdie

Yes but can anyone verify that it is him?

It's him. Or someone who knows lots about where he is and stuff.

As Yomcat says, it's definitely Andrew Gourdie.

Indeed, a circle is round - whereas a ball is spherical! 

I guess Stevo qualifies to be a TV 1 sports reporter then...

i would like to say that regardless of which channel or even form of media, it's heartening to see the media in general showing an interest in the Nix. Most of which has been quite positive. I think that they too see that the club is trying to make a serious attempt at being successful and that this isn't some publicity stunt to get the club mentioned.

TV 1 has a Nix story on their site today that doesn't appear to have emerged anywhere else (from memory this is a first for them), it isn't particularly strong as a story but  it might indicate that they are trying to lift their game this year,

Cheeseman is a footy fan, but then most english people are aren't they?

I hate to burst the bubble Tigers but this was from the Dom a few weeks back when Siggy signed, so we may have to wait a little while longer for TV1 to be first in....

"Phoenix will reassess the squad after pre-season, which includes a 10-day trip to China in June, before deciding whether to sign a right back."

Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake on the TVone clip??

Si Elliott was on Sports Tonight on TV3 last night.

why don't the just use the Fever to fact check their stories before they out on national TV. stuff ups like that undo all the brownie points they get for covering it in the first place.

I didnt see it, but I mean, technically he's in a premier league :) so I can see how you could get confused.

Don't feel bad guys, when you're interested in a truly minority sport nobody cares about, like MotoGP, you find yourself cursing Dobbo's rubbish at every mention (ie Jorge Lorenzo's first name is not pronounced "George" ) let alone the odd incorrect fact.

correct. Premiership is only one top flight league that I'm aware of and Killen doesn't play in it.
