4th Round on (internet!) TV

[Dirk Gently]

If by some miracle we do beat Liverpool, the Burnley match will be live on ITV - 12.45 kick-off on Sat 23rd Jan.

[Ian Royal]

Something to do with Coppell on ITV??

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

Burnley fans really looking forward to a tie against Reading with a 1245 kick off.

[Holding Out Hope]

That's strange, when i saw the televised fixtures the other day it had Preston vs Chelsea as the Saturday lunchtime game, with Spurs/Leeds sat evening, and Stoke/arsenal and Scunny/ManCity as the other games? Would be a massive LOL at ITV if we manage to turn Liverpool over now though

If we do get through, I hope somebody like Kebe hangs onto Bikey and Bikey stamps on him.

Bikey is playing in the African Nations Cup with Cameroon!!

Awful call from ITV.

Reading Vs Burnely and Liverpool Vs Burnley will both be tediously dull.

2 managerless clubs going at it.

That's not the point - they're not interested in attracting the people who don't go to watch matches in real life - they'll be out watching matches that day.

They're interested in attracting the people who watch TV from home and for whom any of the Big 4, with players they've heard of, will be worth watching.

More viewers = more advertising income, which is ll ITV is interested in. Their job is delivering viewers to their advertisers, not delivering TV programmes to viewers.

We have a manager.

And so will they by the time the tie comes around!!

This is a bit confusing as the ITV website doesn't mention our game.

Where did you get this info from as the TV games were picked a few days back and the Preson / Chelski game was the lunchtime ITV game and not us or Liverpool /Burnley.

It does seem to have been an error on our website as the game will be shown on the Internet only and not ITV http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompeti ... Ties2.aspx

[Barry the bird boggler]

at any serious thought we'll be involved in the 4th round

however the best bit of news has come out of our possible involvement in that the 30 fat blokes who were scheduled to be rolling about on the pitch that weekend have switched to Twickenham...

[tomrfcurz]

If we beat Liverpool (i know, IF) the Burnley game will be a live stream on TheFA.com but only for UK & Ireland residents, sorry yanks

Winning a 4th round match is nowhere near winning a play-off semi.
Prefer to be in Burnley's shoes should we get past Liverpool and knock them out too!
