Football News (incorporating Constitutional Affairs)
Posted by almax on March 14, 2008
I have been away all day, isolated from media sources.
So when I arrived home at the back of 6, I watched the BBC news, to find out what had been going on in the world.
They certainly told us that in the draw for the Champions League it was Arsenal v Liverpool, Man Utd v Roma and Chelsea v Fenerbache.
And, of course, I was interested in that.
What about the UEFA Cup draw?
Not a fucking mention.
Over the last couple of nights, 3 English sides have been knocked out of the UEFA Cup and there are now no English clubs left in that competition.
So the BBC doesn’t give a fuck about it.
One of the B’s in BBC apparently stands for ‘British’.
In the UEFA Cup, Glasgow Rangers were drawn to play Sporting Lisbon.
Note for the BBC (and for Unionist politicians) - right there is the reason why I vote for the SNP.

Sky at least do mention Rangers, as the “only BRITISH team left in the UEFA Cup”…
But Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are the “four ENGLISH teams in the Champions’ League Quarter Finals”
Why are those four English, not British, but Rangers are British, not Scottish?
And this from British Sky Broadcasting!
