FAIL = Channel 9 schedulers.

[Captain Kickass]

Classic stuff Channel 9.

I heard budget cuts have massive over the years but come on ... does no-one own a calculator ???

Mental note : Allow a minimum of 2.5hrs for finals matches !

Because of your sh*tty scheduling we've all missed out on the post-game synopsis of Wests/Roosters, and the pre-game reviews of Penrith/Canberra.

Now we know what you'll say ...
"Oh, we could never have forseen such an enthralling outcome !" .... or maybe ...
"No final since the MacIntyre system's inception has even won from golden point."

Bad luck.

You took the gamble.
And failed.

Imagine the irate Penrith/Canberra fans at home - IT begars belief, with all those millions in broadcasting equipment and data-banks that Channel 9 NOT provide a split screen or a screen-in-screen telecast ?

Or for the benefit of those watching "broadcast on delay" until half-time, and do the 2nd half live !

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

Good call on the split-screen thing. How come they don't do a viewer's choice like Foxsports?

 

[PigBenis]

couldnt they just rewind it and **** off halftime report

I would have been furious if it was us!

 

[MeskBrah]

they were screwed either way.

 

[Dex]

It's free to air TV.

Why should they do anything like that.

Also, Does NRL schedule game times or does channel 9 ?

 

[Captain Kickass]

Oh ... lets not forget our precious fkn ads !!!

 

[Senorita]

Oh ... lets not forget our precious fkn ads !!!

helloooo again helloooo.......

 

[Mr Invisible]

Why not have games on both GO and 9HD... FFS they own both channels

something about that NRL and gAyFL games cannot be broadcasted on digital channels

 

[OTTO]

???? One HD isnt digital?!?!?

 

[Q-Tip]

Meh... Like you said there's never been a finals match thats gone extra time. Fair excuse for me.
I'm not that concerned because the football was excellant. Can't complain tbh.

 

[Özil]

???? One HD isnt digital?!?!?

i think 10 and the gAyFL struck a deal in regards to the digital sport channel

 

[OTTO]

yea, a lot of it seems the same to me on there

 

[ArnieD]

Exactly. They only missed the first 10mins so they could have easily showed the first half with a 10min delay then showed the second half live by skipping half time.

 

[simmmo]

like you can schedule for a 100min golden point game.......

 

[Captain Kickass]

Probably not - But you can have a thing called a "contingency plan" in place .... OR you can guess, f*ck up, and p*ss off a whole bunch of people ... :thumb:

 

[Hog]

why'd they even kick the second game off? they should of waited until the first game finished. pre match speak I was glad to miss but.
