| I record it on 3 different channels at 3 different times. That's the only way I get to see it. Of the three, one was basketball, the other Ice Hockey and the third was the actual show I was trying to watch.
There seems very little point Sky sports publishing TV listings.

| Quote: meast "agree. it would be better done as a highlights package like most other sports highlights programmes, show the game as it unfolded then show the summary.
another thing with this show is that when the tries are being shown we usually have carney/wells/mcdermott or the brilliant!? o'connor waffling on over the top of it,rather than talk about how the game unfolded they just talk about individual players/tries.
perfect example was last week when wakefield had a last minute try disallowed,it showed it on the highlights but didn't make it clear that it was disallowed,so people were probably confused by the summary that said wakefield had scored 16 points when they saw them score 20.
small points i know but surely they could show the highlights then discuss is rather than babble over the top, then they show the tries again on a smaller screen whilst babbling some more.'" Yeah it's really stupid, the pundits aren't sure whether they should be analysing the game or talking about what's on the screen so they try and do both and it doesn't work at all. I remember on the old 'Boots N All - The Tries' they used to show the highlights with Rod Studd summarizing over the top and then talk about it in the studio afterwards which was far better, but for some reason they've gone away from that since it became Full Time.

| Quote: loyalsince1904 "I think there may be a rights issue. i.e. Sky can only show tries, red cards and maybe one or two more key incidents.
If not, then Sky should do a proper 5 min package per game- the current show is pretty poor IMHO, and I say this as someone who enjoys Sky's live coverage'"
I doubt there's a rights issue. There is probably a turnaround issue, in that it would take more time to produce a coherent highlights package rather than just plucking out the tries. Match Of The Day can do it because it has dozens of people working on this, SLFT won't.

| I'm surprised at how cross some people get when SLFT is bumped to continue coverage of a live sports event; presumably they wouldn't mind a live SL game being cut off in the final minutes to go to a fishing magazine show?
Seriously - there are things to get really annoyed about in life; this isn't one of them.

You need a new sky box. I have it on series link and it records every time, regardless of any delay.
Some lovely moaning going on in this thread though, well done to all.

So you think it's perfectly acceptable to make RL fans sit around for an unknown length of time late every Sunday before work the next day, waiting for it to come on, not even knowing if it will? You don't think that's remotely frustrating?
Not everyone can afford a brand new all singing & dancing Sky box, and Virgin boxes don't adjust to schedule changes.
Once is inconvenient. Twice is annoying. But I don't think they've broadcast the first Sunday showing on time once yet this season. Golf, cricket and basketball all happening to overrun as far as I recall. Add to that the BBC's cock-up the other week and you wonder why fans get p*ssed off?

| like other people have said. cant help live broadcasts. imagine if a Challenge cup game went to extra time and 2 minutes in they said we have to switch off now for eastenders omnibus, Goodbye. Imagine how that would feel.

Im sure you won't have any complaints if they turn a SL game off early as the fishing enthusiasts want their highlights on then?

If live sport overruns, that is whats know in the industry as 'tough titties'.
And my sky box is nearly 3 years old...

Or repeatedly sh*tting on your paying customers.
Perhaps scheduling it between non-live programmes instead would be a non-too-challenging solution for the "industry" to consider.

Think you're missing the point. Once is fair enough, but every week?
If you're happy to pay for your sports channels and have them repeatedly f*ck around with the schedules for the one sport you want to watch, good on you.

A programme like SLFT is exactly what that time slot is for. Its cheap filler, just like 'Barclays Premier League preview'.
Just record it and stop moaning.

| Some RL fans are not happy unless they're not happy.
Down with that sort of thing!
