Possibly, but its better than getting up at 7 AM to watch a team roll over & die in the only game of note left to them this season.

JFK has resigned. Woo hoo!

I don't know if this is a sign of things to come but Saturday's Liverpool-Arsenal match appears to be on Sportsnet 360 (ex The Score)

Woo hoo indeed. A total disaster only marginally overshadowed by Mike Asshole.

Good ****ing riddance to the cockney twat.

This amused me....

Yeah a lot more games now. Last weekend I counted 5 3pm kick off's. 3 on Sportsnet (including World) and 2 on the TSN channels.

I thought I was spoiled when I had 3 to choose from.

Me too.

Let's hope he's not replaced by someone even less competent! Or just not replaced!

As one circus leaves town, another one will be long soon.

No, no, I meant it in a bad way. It's not an extra 3.00 choice. This is a game that would normally be on either TSN or the usual Sportsnet channels rather than "360" which likely needs additional subscription.

It's like when Sky introduced skysports 2 and spread games over both channels so you had to pay for both to see what was previously all on one.

sportsnet 360 is just a re-branded 'the score' which I thought was on most cable systems in the standard tier.

The fact is that Sportsnet World is no longer the channel it used to be. Previously it would have at least half the games either live or delayed one after the other...now it ends up showing the scraps most of the time. In the past it also showed the scottish, russian, french leagues and the last two are gone. When sportsnet world was first available, many of my friends subscribed and now most of them have dropped it.

The fact of the matter is that for many soccer in canada is a minority interest sport that is overshadowed by hawkie, the superbore, rounders and basketball. In reality, for the money most of us pay for soccer, we get more games than they do in the UK.

Netball, shirley?

Maybe. On my provider it comes within a sports grouping of what I already have as part of a bilingual package.

It seems the only way of adding it is to pay for the group which is effectively paying for several channels twice.

Except for times like this week when West Brom-Liverpool and Arsenal-Palace were both on World only. It does happen quite a lot that both Sunday games are on World only or one on each.

Then of course, there's the FA Cup which is only on World at the moment.

How could I forget that. Actually, lawn bowling/petanque/boules on ice gets better ratings than football/soccer here in Canada.

Shove hapenny on ice?
