I would love to know who exactly gave the FA and ITV this god like power that they can dictate what goes on.
Don't get me wrong. Not really bothered about the game move, but why does the FA cup need to come first over everything else. Its not like ITV don't have enough airspace on there 4 channels that they could'nt accommodate the game on a Monday night, therefor going head to head with sky sports Monday night football.
Mind you, not being a footy supporter i would still rather watch 2 teams at the top end of there leagues, rather than 2 teams at the bottom of there leagues only playing mediocre football at best. ITV are probably sulking that they got the bum end of the deal in that regard. 2 hours of a yawn fest coming up, same as the previous game.
