It was abundantly clear from the content of timbo's posts that it was the latter aspect he was refering to along with fixture information. I saw not a shred of evidence in any of his posts to suggest he was talking about the technical aspect.

You are destroying him here. Well done. be prepared for people to tell you that you aren't, mind.
As I said I answered the question for a laugh, just to play along with his games as I had nothing better to do. it was pretty easy really. He is still playing games as part of his question and replies is to deliberately mislead me so that he could pop up and say "ha, you don't need to do that!!!", but I picked up on it.
Obviously, any fool could see that I made it, as you said, abundantly clear that i was referring to football fixtures, tv stations and rights, and only a pedant would actually think that i meant i was experienced in broadcasting production. but since it is so easy i could probably do whatever job he does with 2 weeks training and do it to a suitable level. it's sounds a repetitive, dull, thankless job that only a proper gimp that enjoys being locked away in a sweltering, BO ridden box all day would enjoy. therefore i would hate it. i would alson hate to work in football incase i fell out of love with the sport. same reason i would hate to work in the game industry, or as a chef or something. as i love games and food. in saying that i could easily work in something like fashion though, something i also love.
(to answer the question my bird on the go doesn't know i'm unemployed. late twenties now and i'm a pretty decent looking lad being honest so i only bother with very good looking birds these days. telling them i have a job even when i haven't is is a pre-requisite. job interview friday though, delighted to hear i have an interview. hopefully get it and then my problem is sorted.)

I was not offered any reductions or offers, the woman I spoke to just apologised for the uncertainty and advised me to wait a bit longer before moving to sky as I am out of contract.
Whether she was just trying to keep me as a customer or there is news coming is any ones guess.
I'm happy to wait a bit longer though as the first match isn't till September. If no news by then I will find it hard not to switch. Although I would definitely miss TiVo, superior BB and guaranteed picture in bad wether.

feel your pain. Sports fans are the most prejudiced people in the country bar none, for insults and for money. BT getting all those rugby rights has stitched you up good and proper, ditto for them getting 1 quarter of the premier league and 18 first picks. ESPN was possible to live without but BT Sport is such better content it's an essential if you love sport.
