Frustrating Fox Sports.

[Consigliere]

I noticed they're cutting down their supposed 'full replays' down to two hours inc adds and fast forwarding through about 10-15 minutes in each match.

How frustrating, my fav feature on Fox Footy was the full replay, so I could DVD the games to keep.

Just looking at the Fox Sports website, I can't find anywhere to complain about this??

Anybody else annoyed?

 

[Ekulman]

Yeah its pretty annoying
and to make matters worse i think the AFL site is using these games as well.
So the replays are cut down

Adelaide v Essendon
11am – 12.30pm FOX Sports 1
Monday 2 April 2007

Duration: 90 mins Huh?

Yeah I noticed that in the WC vs SYD game. They were cutting out the points scored. In the end, WC only won by a point, so maybe the points I missed were important!!

Would have been frustrating if I was a WC or Syd fan.

 

[Consigliere]

I'm sure if enough people complained they would stop it and show the full thing.

Geezus! Still can't find how to contact them. Nothing on their website.

Bloody generic newscorp crap.

I noticed it when I IQ'd the replay of Kang/Coll and was excited to watch the last quarter again when I noticed that every goal seemed like it was seconds after the last. It total they must've showed less than half of the quarter

Absolute disgrace, Foxtel, absolute disgrace. We can't even watch a full replay. Is it so important to show garbage sports like cricket, rugby and tiddlywinks.

I got canned for starting a thread - complaining about no AFL being on Fox sports 1, between March 18-March 31st. But everyone called me a baby for whinging.

Fox Sports has screwed the coverage of AFL!!

Sounds like they have. Not worth getting Foxtel for the footy if that is the case.

 

[Thrawn]

Grrr. They cut Simpson's mark in the final quarter. It was a highlight of the game and was not shown. Idiots.

 

[viccles]

Worst coverage ever. I miss Fox Footy

Smacks of Fox Sports getting a pack of Year 10 Work-Experience students from Sydney trying to put together a 90 minute package.

RIP Fox Footy Channel. I'm sure you'll be rolling around in your grave.

 

[Kurtis G]

Very gay.

We must complain.

 

[Jeffers]

Mega pissed off about this too. Can't believe they would do this when they clearly stated it being a "full replay" once they got in with ch 7 and 10.

Adelaide v Essendon
11am – 12.30pm FOX Sports 1
Monday 2 April 2007

Yeah, we played for far less than that.

 

[grayham]

Where's eagle87? How can he blame ch 7 ?

 

[red+black]

There is a 2 hour replay of Adelaide v Essendon tomorrow at 12pm though.

But what's with the 90 minute packages? Football coverage is this year.

I found it after much looking around the Fox Sports website.

I sent them an email after watching the Pura Cup Final highlights - they showed about 3 balls of the match-defining 163 run partnership between Clingeleffer and Butterworth.

Definitely a Work Experience Student compiled highlights package.

 

[mattwinter]

Personally, I'd rather watch a 90 minute replay than watch an entire match again. However you'd think Fox Sports would at least do full replays overnight or something - so that people who want to record and save the match can do so - prehaps the cricket world cup is restricting coverage at the moment.

I'm much more concerned about certain states completely missing out on live/near live telecasts of some games.

Thanks sherb. I suggest everyone use this to register their disgust. I will also be looking around check if what Fox did at the announcment of the deal (saying all games will be replayed) is false advertising

The anti AFL/ Pro rugby league bias on Fox sports and most of their shows is bad enough at the best of times.

I don't mind every game getting a 90 minute 'replay' over Sunday/Monday so they can fit them all in, but after that during the week EVERY game should get a full replay at least once.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Absolute disgrace this year, the footy on FTA.. I could not believe that the Sunday afternoon game on 7 was DELAYED!!!! FGS< at least Nine had a LIVE broadcast last year at 1 pm..Sheesh Channel 7 had some stupid movie about Dallas or something at 2pm..Why on earth can't they have a LIVE broadcast. I won't be watching 7 on a Sunday again!!..I know they won't care, but their sponsors might!!
Only ONE Live match at weekends now, on 10, and I guess that won't always be either!!
And the StK & Lions match is also DELAYED..AND it's interstate..It's enough to turn me off footy permanently. B.....y disgusted!!!!!!

What i hate is that there is no Last Time They Met!

Good call.

When Adelaide or Port had a home game on a Friday night, Channel Nine never used to show it live. It would usually be on a 30 minute delay.

 

[gadj1976]

ring them, see if you can get thru to anyone..... it's a challenge in itself, although I hear that things have changed.

There is a complaint area on Foxtel as well for what it's worth.
