and unlimited replays!

What was the rationale behind choosing Palace v Everton for TV coverage?

Tho nice to see everton’s 1980s style shirt matches their style of football.

[bodacious benny]

That’s never a red card for DCL.

[UlversToon]

Seems unfair that VAR is only being used in some games, should be all or none. Presumably if Everton had been away to a lower league club it wouldn't have been a red card - not that I have any sympathy for Everton though.

Yep agreed on all counts.

I think the TV thinking of airing PL pairings is all wrong. Maybe if it was a more glamorous fixture it'd be worth it, but otherwise I can watch 2 mediocre PL clubs several times a week, and would rather see clubs or match-ups I'd otherwise not have access to.

[Colly]

That makes sense for overseas fans, but in the UK it gives the BBC and ITV a chance to show "PL" games to those without Sky. It's horrible, but that's why.

I might have watched Fulham vs bottom of the Championship Rotherham but I'm not tuning in for Spurs v Burnley

Don't forget Shrewsbury v Wrexham is on telly on Sunday!
