BT Sport hears sweet FA

On Monday night the televised
FA Cup game came from FC
United of Manchester, the club
set up by Man Utd fans as a
protest against the Glazers'
takeover. Central to their
manifesto was that football
should be played at 3pm on
a Saturday, and not moved
around at the whim of TV.

So how did a Monday night
kickoff on BT Sport go down?
Well, with such loud chants
of "Fuck BT Sports" that they
had to cut sound and over-
dub crowd noises for TV.

Fox Sports, covering the game
for the States, were either
made of sterner stuff, or
didn't understand the local
accents. Pretty much every
"Fuck the FA" and "Fuck BT
Sports" could still be heard.
