surprised to see that the Beeb aren't putting shows of the Premiership fights on One, seeing as almost all matches are being played today as a pose to the normal Saturday slot. So why didn't they move their Saturday Grandstand and Football Focus to today, to provide for terrestrial viewers who want coverage of the tightest relegation battle in history?

I believe you can Press Red for Score Interactive this afternoon from 14:45 - which is the same service they offer as on a Saturday, so its not much different than usual.

Im glad the BBC dont show live matches. Coverage is much much better from Sky Sports.

Not as good as other sport broadcasters around the world though.

I still don't understand this. The BBC cannot broadcast any live matches, and Football Focus is simply a magazine talking about football, there are no live matches there.

The time has passed now, but what I was wondering was why there was no coverage of Football Focus on the Sunday, given that all the premiership action was on the Sunday of last week. I happened to miss it on Saturday because I had assumed with the final matches beingon the Sunday, the BBC would move their discussion programme to he final day of the Barclay's Premiership.

I don't see whats hard to understand about that.

Yes the BBC cannot show the matches live in the UK (of course their feed goes out to Sky and edited for Football First and shown live via TWI internationally for global sport broadcasters)

No broadcaster can show live matches on a saturday afternoon (i.e. the traditional 3pm matches). They never have been able to either, you'll notice that SOccer Saturday will only show live coverage after the final whistle blows

Live coverage from matches goes to broadcasters in this country for commentating and editing for highlights roundups
