Is the kick off at 17:00 or at 17:15 though? That's what Sky were trying to convince them to change...


It used to be 5pm, but now it's 5.15 so they can show them all.

Re the Angelus, not only have they removed most of the religious imagery (although the bells still chime), they now, in an unorthodox move, run it on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, when Church bells are supposed to remain silent. This is because they claim it now has nothing to do with the prayer and is just a moment of reflection.

That claim is slightly undermined not only by the continuing presence of the bells, but also by the fact that the slot is still billed as "The Angelus" in listings.
