Hmm... Because ITV payed lot of money for it. BTW would you be saying the same if Celtic or Rangers or (actually there wouldn't be another Scottish team would there Wink ) were playing.

I think not


Actually i can't stand football.Celtic,Rangers Scotland,England any of it. I prefer Corrie i couldn't care if they all get canned by whoever you can slag them all you want.


I prefer Corrie, but its nice to watch football for a change, and Corrie is on twice on Friday anyway so its not as if we are losing any episodes.

I'm not being stupid .I don't see why we should have to be stuck with English,Scottish or any football for the whole night.


Because its what people want to watch.

We should be greatful we have a break from the soaps which are shown almost every other weeknight during the year. As much as I love Corrie I am glad of a break, and we get 2 episodes on Friday anyway.


Sorry not everyone wants to watch footie .

Not everyone wants to watch constant streams of soaps.

Emmerdale 6 times a week, too much

Dont be ridiculous! I'm Welsh and have no problem with an English side taking up 3 hours of primetime tv on ITV1!

Well done to Liverpool! What a match!

Im just wondering where News at Ten Thirty will appear and what will happen to Celebrity Love Island!

Yes, but many people do want to watch footie. I hear it's quite popular these days.

Any guesses on what's happening with the schedule? I guess news at 11, celeb love island at 11.30, and the 1hr live show being dropped? (Plus some peeved regional teams..)

They are supposed to be rerunning the whole match at 12.35am as well, so they will need a longer slot for that. Good job they've scheduled 85 minutes of nightscreen tonight on ITV1

I thought it was just SMG that weren't giving any clue as to what was next. You'd think it would be an idea to tell people at the earliest opportunity (ie right after the football). Unless they don't know yet, of course... Razz

Well it appears that Footballers Wives has moved from to the earlier slot of 22:30 - 23:30 on ITV2 probably making way for CLI on ITV2 at 23:30.

Sky Sports were the host broadcasters for tonights final apparently.

No doubt it would have been 4:3 coverage if the Turkish broadcasters were allowed to cover it.

Hmm.... news first, then Celebrity Love Island. At according to SMG, the latter appears at 11.40pm. Does that mean this is a slightly extended news? And SMG did their best train announcement: "Programmes are running later than scheduled and are subject to further change " (which roughly translates as ITV PLC haven't told us yet).

It was more of a case that the Turkish were too unreliable and would provide poor coverage, so they got us Brits to do it...

Trevor's getting into it on tonight's late ITV News. Maybe he's a secret Liverpool fan, I wondered why he always wears red ties!
