Just seen the Sky Sports schedule for next Saturday and it says the match will be shown at 8pm as LIVE when the match is mean't to start at 3pm. Surely not?! :shocked:

:o: its still officially scheduled in as a 3pm kick off. Sky might be trying to get it moved so theyve put live in although SkySports.com says delayed coverage

I will be shocked if they don't do something as it is PROPERLY the biggest league match in the world and they AREN'T going to show it live. It must the be first time anything like this has ever happen and especially a match with such prestige.

biggest league fixture in the world can be debated ;) but yeah the stand out fixture(s) in LaLiga is those two meeting. Its shocking really, Sky done a deal with LaLiga/clubs late on to broadcast, may be the deal wasn't as good as they would of liked and are now punishing Sky?

I did email Sky about it but got no response.

Kl. I think it is mainly to do with the Real Madrid players getting as much rest for their important second leg tie with Man Utd on the 5th as they can. What is a few hours difference going to make though?

Stupid really.

may be. but if that was the case then they should have scheduled the fixture for Friday or Saturday morning when the fixture could be broadcasted. why 3pm?

Your guess is as good as mine mate, but it could be for a variety of reasons including the one I already stated. It is just a stupid decision by the RSFF full stop in my opinion. I guess it only really affects British and German viewers in regards to the fact that their respective leagues play at the same/similar time, but Prem 3pm kick-offs aren't broadcast.

I doubt many people will be waiting to watch it on TV then as people want to see it live, unless your team is playing tomorrow at 3pm in the Prem.
