Last night Tottenham's Sessingon and West Ham's Antonio streamed a FIFA match at the same time the two clubs were originally supposed to play in the Premier League. Lots of that sort of thing going on, plus teams who were supposed to play each other playing Twitter Connect 4 with each other, club official accounts "live-tweeting" classic matches in real time as if they were happening today. Anything to get through the lack of fixtures!

Sorry, do we need a separate thread for this? None of these are even on TV. I doubt The Sport Thread will be too busy for the foreseeable!

I thought it'd be a useful resource for people to add events that were happening to divert their attention - a relief. The Space stuff is highly likely to end up on the iPlayer by the end of the month, anyway.

Indeed, I watched Leeds United thrash Luton 3-0 on FIFA and the Facebook video app only crashed my firestick once during the entire game.

Bet365 have a load of virtual sports going on. Really don't get how they're allowed to have people bet on those when the outcome could be manipulated.

'could be mainipulated'?
Are mainipulated.

Look at the results of the bookies own 100+ odd races per day virtual horseracing as seen in all the shops, and tell me how many 2/1favs (or shorter) come home in first place?

In the real world - nearly 40% on average over the year. In the virtual world - None.

I meant on TV channels, not online. As in, it would be noteworthy if Sky Sports were now showing it as a replacement rather than it just being on YouTube like it would have been anyway.

According to my EPG Sky Sports F1 are showing the virtual Bahrain GP tonight from 8pm.

That must indicate that the feed must be going through FOM tv at Biggin Hill then.
