the anti channel 7 thread

[ManWithNoName]

WTF is this shit they've got on now with the singing.

I reckon they are trying to work out what to do and putting some filler on.

Hate to be the 7 switchboard operator tonight.

They were stalling while the crowds changed over. What else could they do?

 

[ManWithNoName]

How FK hard is it to just miss the first few games and get into the match live, seriously probalby most people wont be that distressed that they have missed some of the Venus Mirza game.

That game hasn't started. We'll see all of it live.

 

[__aria__]

haha good ol channel 7

at first it pissed me off now all i can do is laugh

 

[Adam BK]

Yeh I edited it The website said the match was in progress but when I clicked on it said 0 0.... I assumed the match in progress meant the match had in fact started.

 

[Bad Santa]

so does this mean hewitt match will start about 11:30??

May not even start and be suspended if the Venus Mirza match takes to long.

 

[likka]

So the Hewitt match won't start until after midnight... has this every happened before?

Punters will be able to take the first train home.

Could be later...thank god it's live but still a disgrace how they handled the Fed match. Showing heartbeat while it was in play and then joining delayed

Fair enough.
But you're right about Heartbeat. The brain surgeon who made the decision to show that should be read the riot act and/or sacked.

They wound up about 20 minutes behind. Pretty impressive job catching up I think.

 

[Ricketts]

At least by having the Federer match on 20 minute delay it meant 20 minutes less that they needed to fill in before Venus' match started.

They could have shown Heartbeat in between the matches.

 

[FootyJunkie]

AMEN for having Foxtel! The only time i will lower my standards to watch Channel 7 is when Fed is on. The commentators are as boring as batS__T with Alexander being the worst. Thank god they wont be doing the Olympics after Beijing!

Yes, I'm really looking forward to Nine's nightly 2 hr highlights package of the day's events compared to Seven's virtual 24/7 coverage of the Olympics.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Yeah...saw the promo for Hearbeat during the news' last break, I was WTF?! Stupid move!

"Heartbeat...why do you interrupt the tennis? why not go back to ABC"

 

[JSFish]

Dunno if this has already been gone over in this thread, but the most annoying thing about channel 7 would have to be John Alexander. "Oh wow, that was 2 cm to the left hand side of the centre of the net, meaning the ball needed to be lifted an extra .00000000000572 cm. That is just so low percentage." "Oh look, a winner down the line, how low percentage. He should've played it back to his opponent who would've had an open court to slam it into so that he could hit over the high part of the net."
Just SHUT THE F*** UP.
Oh well at least Jim is there to tell him to keep his mouth shut because he has no idea what he is talking about. Jim is an absolute legend, makes up for JA's annoyingness.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Channel 7 are even showing it live in Qld.

Amazing!

 

[Geddy Lee]

They are not doing what I think they're doing . . .

Haha, I didn't have the TV on until I saw this post. When I read your post I thought they might be replaying the whole match. To be honest, it's not that bad a move to replay the end of last night's/this mornings match. It was so inaccessible for most people. I wonder if it would be a different story if Marcos had have won though...

 

[Charliebrow 16]

They are not doing what I think they're doing . . .

It was just on Foxtel, now they've gone to a live game and C7 are showing the last set of last nights match.
To be honest, i wouldn't mind seeing the Federer game again. That was another top game

 

[Geddy Lee]

There's Ferrero / Nalbandian, two guys in very good form and Channel 7 finished Hewitt match at 430, then Foxtel just replayed, now channel 7 replay it, 3 times in 7 hours. It was a very low quality match.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Is it just me or did this thread advance 3-4 pages in one night?
I was at RL so i didnt see the coverage, did they really make that many mistakes?

 

[-VC-]

It's pretty much all about not playing the Federer match live.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Oh well that's reason enough to complain right there.

 

[Hot Spenny]

whoa whoa whoa, did they just switch from the gasquet tsonga match to the sharapova match????

 

[chickens_law]
