Not sure if this has ever happened before, but the BBC will be showing a Chairity Football Match between Manchester United And A Special Europeain team called European XI.

My Point why is this not being broadcast on Network? Does any body know? Confused

It's not really an important game to show, I was thinking that Five would show it as they have picked up charity games in the past. But the amount of rescheduling that has been done by BBC One, ITV1 and Five in the past few weeks for FA Cup Replays and UEFA Cup Games I'm sure some viewers would be rather annoyed if something is moved again for Football and it not being an important game to sort.

Also - football on BBC Three isn't unheard of. They showed a lot of African Nations coverage a year or two ago.

What are you on about?
Does anyone know why it is being broadcast at all? Oh yes because the BBC is turning into MUTV2.

Perhaps ... maybe ... some viewers might want to see it.

I remember way back when, BBC Choice used to run Wimbledon and some sort of football, but that was probably in the days before multiscreen BBCi.

WRONG! Twisted Evil It's because it's a charity football match for CHARITY!! and also most of the money comes from TV Broadcasting, so most of that TV Broadcasting money will go to charity!

I take Ste we don't like football on the BBc then do we? Wink
