I would like to point out, earlier in my stay here I was accused of being wrong by the guy with the crystal palace icon. It was in the other thread, but I am not replying as it is not a BT Sport solo thread.
Here, from the horses mouth.

**If Tottenham qualify for the group stages of the Europa League, this match will move to Sunday 1 December, at 12:00 BST, and will still be live on BT Sport.

I said that there is no chance that Spurs would play at 12.45 on the saturday, due to Europa. I was informed by that guy that I was wrong, and that the match could not be rescheduled, and if it was rescheduled then BT Sport would have to give up the rights.
As you can see, I was 100% correct on both counts. Match rescheduled due to 36 hours time span between thursday night and saturday lunchtime, and BT Sport still showing it due to them obtaining the rights to that game, not just a timeslot to show the game.
In fairness, a couple of others backed me up. And we all said that this is due to fixtures all having a set time to begin with, before european matches and variants cause a rescheduling of the kickoff times. But still, quite a few people took smug glee in informing me that I am wrong. This, as proven by the official man united site is incorrect. I was right.
As I have said many times, I am an expert in all aspects of football broadcasting within the UK and also foreign rights to Premier League, and can confidently say I know more about it than anybody here due to being a football nut who devotes my life to watching football on tv. Please understand that I am never wrong, ever, about football broadcasting in the UK. The smarter people will know it's good to have me here to act as a resident expert in it, but sadly due to being very anti sport, and a snobbish behavior towards football fans I am wasted here and will not be passing on as much as I could. i'll be withholding info when it suits me.
