    Surely they could manage to do a sports channel by now? I don't get the fuss over some men on the other side of the world kicking a ball in a field while wearing short shorts.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to fire up my games console and push buttons to make the pixels on my screen change colour.
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

    I don't see why they can't set up a seperate channel for sport on radio and tv for those who find it so thrilling!

    For the same reason they don't (with the exception of ITV2) set up a separate channel for people who find shows like Celebrity Hoovering Mishaps, Plumbing Disasters From Hell: Celebrity Special, Britain Singiest Singers and all the other garbage that pollute the TV airwaves for the 47 months in every 4 years that the world cup is not on?

    And when you switch back on his face will still look the same on your smashed TV. He's cunning....

    Not really a footie fan but I would rather watch a decent match than the crap like Drop Zone or the Lottery Show on a Saturday night
