Thoughts from tonight's game

Liverpool are so far above Sydney, even with long retired players out there that it's not funny

Abc is garbage for football. Especially the commentators

SD is garbage in general

Well at least ABC didn't get the rights.

Probably the best outcome. Interesting the fiscal value some fans thought it was worth. What commercial network already on the bones of it's arse will pay top dollar for something not called NRL, AFL or Cricket? Given Ten and Nein are on the never ending verge of bankruptcy and gently caress SEVEN eternally.

Mind you sports going from Fox to Ten have a pretty good track record. And the rumors of the BBL going to Nein are getting stronger, so if the Ten hype machines winds up, the results could be good.

A-League broadcast deal: Channel Ten, Fox Sports to take Australian football to more fans than ever

June 1, 2017 9:00pm
Source: FOX SPORTS

NETWORK Ten will broadcast A-League and Socceroos matches in a deal agreed with Football Federation Australia and Fox Sports to deliver Australian football to more fans than ever before.

A Saturday night A-League match and all finals clashes will be shown on Network Ten from the start of the 2017-2018 season, as well as Socceroos games once this World Cup Qualifying cycle has ended.

Network Ten’s ‘One’ channel will take a live simulcast of Fox Sports’ 7.30pm Saturday night match next season, meaning the code’s best commentary team featuring the likes of Mark Bosnich, Robbie Slater, Simon Hill, Adam Peacock, Andy Harper and Tara Rushton will deliver their coverage to more fans than in the game’s history.

The deal comes after Fox Sports signed a six-year agreement with the FFA to continue live coverage of every A-League game, along with coverage of the Socceroos, Matildas, W-League and FFA Cup.

“This is a win for football fans and an opportunity for us to showcase our game on a commercial network with a recent history of successfully covering major sport,” said Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop.

“We will take the biggest matches of the Hyundai A League - such as the Saturday night derbies - into every household in Australia live for the first time,” he added.

“It is part of the overall broadcast deal with Fox Sports and means that we will be working with them to drive interest and subscriptions to their ‘all games live’ coverage of the Hyundai A-League.

“It is terrific to have a new and enthusiastic partner in Network Ten to promote the game.”

Network Ten Chief Executive Officer, Paul Anderson, said: “We are very proud to partner with Football Federation Australia and Fox Sports to bring the Hyundai A-League to our viewers on One and tenplay every Saturday night.

“From October this year, 27 home and away Saturday night matches and five finals – plus Socceroos matches from next year – will have a new home on free-to-air television. We will provide a consistent timeslot on One for 30 weeks of the year, promoting the Hyundai A-League and its best game each week to all of Australia.

“We are looking forward to working with Fox Sports and Football Federation Australia to broadcast the Hyundai A-League to our viewers live on One and live streamed on tenplay.”

Fox Sports CEO, Patrick Delany said: “This is a great result for football fans in Australia. The arrangement between Fox Sports and Network Ten will ensure more fans than ever before get to watch the best Australian footballers in action every week.

“A prime-time Saturday night A-League match on free-to-air, featuring Fox Sports’ expert commentators and world class production, will help grow the game and build football for long-term success.”

You missed a whole lot of bad football by both teams. The second goal was pretty good by Australia.

Pretty good for us Sauce boys.

But in bigger news Phil Moss has been signed by Sydney as an assistant coach, thus proving these are surely the end times.
