staines_rebel_Jr Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We managed to get a whole 15 seconds of highlights on ITV round up of the FA Cup and apparently our only claim to fame is The Office by Ricky Gervais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It was less than 15 seconds. So angry at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Have already made my feelings about the amount of coverage given to us known on Gary's footage thread, but on the whole I thought the whole show was extremely poor. ITV didn't see to understand/care about what getting to this stage of the competition meant for little clubs such as ourselves, Met Police, Arlesey Town or Hendon (regardless of who they were playing), preferring instead to focus on non-league "minnows" Forest Green and Hereford! And the bit where they referred to Bradford Park Avenue as being a League Two side did it for me. Just what exactly are these "journalists" paid for???

The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That was pitiful, you deserved a LOT more than that. Shocking commentary and what the heck was up with Matt Smith? Poor chap looked like the living dead to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarySTFC Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 As Nathan says above, BPA being referred to as League Two was laughable and trying to fit in every loose police reference into the Met Police game commentary was embarassing. Still, ITV (and the BBC) have done this for years. It's all about the Prem and nothing else matters for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 To an extent the Mansfield programme did the same as the TV companies always do when non-league clubs are involved.....they had an obsession with what jobs the players do. It's as if they are trying to reinforce the fact they aren't really proper footballers. Sadly for them our band of electricians, financial advisors, fireman et al stopped the proper footballers from winning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighton_rebel Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That's why i'm off to buy my copy of the Non League Paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rebel and a Saint Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Watching the highlights programme now after recording it last night. Not really surprising that they don't seem to care, we saw the same thing with the ESPN coverage. Just saw the Yate game highlights - they hit the woodwork twice but they only show the goals for the bigger club. Watching the other goals before it gets to our game but having seen all these comments I'm not really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarySTFC Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The whole eight seconds of match footage constituting of a single Mansfield shot wide can be seen on their website: http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2012-11-04/fa-cup-first-round-highlights/ Really had hoped the online verison would have at least shown our chance from Smith. It's a horrible page as well with every single game highlights on there so it takes an absolute age to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Shame we did not see more coverage. Would have loved to have seen Ed Smith's shot and save first-half again, as it was difficult to see how good a save it was from our end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicrebel Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I was on half way line and it was going top corner and the save was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Is there any chance of us maybe buying the footage from ITV to put on DVD/Blu-Ray like we did for the Walsall game? Even though it was goalless, I would still like to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
