Quote: ninearches "I think sky cup /trophy/shield is possibly a very apt title for the play offs considering how the whole format down to start times & playing dates are dictated by sky sports. Why, they even dictate the 27 " meaningless qualifying rounds" to the extent that people can be running round like headless chickens trying to fit work commitments in with matches because sky have intervened.'"
