I assume Sky News have now vacated their old premises off screen as well as on.


Yes - we've all been based in the new building (where the Sunrise studio is) for a few months now.

Interesting decision instead of getting the atmosphere from around the country and in Russia they have decided to once again show the channel swimmer 30 min programme. I know they covered it briefly in the 7pm hour but still a disappointing decision and a minor point they said the goal was in the 5th minute on the strap when it was the 4th

I won't be surprised if Ocean Rescue filler is scheduled during the World Cup Final if England get through tonight.

WHy would anyone who's not watching the football be interested in people watching the football?

I'd rather watch that than yet another showing of the documentary they chose tonight which will be on many more times for those interested in it. They had reporters around the country and cameras in 6 locations and could have shown the atmosphere around the country / spoken to people during half time when we were actually ahead in a semi-final for the first time in 28 years.

A goal at 4 minutes and 44 seconds is in the fifth minute of the game.
bilky asko and Brekkie gave kudos

But if you're that interested in the football you're watching the football. Nobody chooses to watch a game via updates on Sky News. And that would be a complete waste of resources (resources who probably would like to be watching the game themselves).

I suspect many channels, including possibly Sky News, will be getting a zero rating in primetime tonight.

You just need to be able to tell the time.

So Enda Brady's report just now saying we went 1- 0 after just 4 minutes is wrong too then

The attitude on people on here really is something

After not in .

If you score after 30 seconds, that is in the first minute, so after 1 min 30 it's in the 2nd min etc. Hence a goal at 4 mins 44 secs is in the 5th minute , but "just after" the 4th minute (with a loose definition of "just").

I understand that getting pedantic over television is the norm here, but being pedantic over the English language is certainly new to me.
