"ITV have won the rights to show delayed coverage on England's match in Turkey on October 11.

The channel can show full delayed coverage or highlights at any time following the final whistle of the game in Istanbul after Sky accepted a cash offer.

Brian Barwick, ITV'S controller of sport, said: "We're delighted to be able to provide terrestrial viewers with the opportunity to watch coverage of such a key England match and play our part in ensuring that as many viewers see it as possible."

ITV will confirm transmission times later this week."

Is anyone going to watch a 'live' game beamed with a time delay? Just curious.

I thinks it's barmy not being on terrestrial as it's being played. I feel the government and Police should step in advising that it will cause far to much trouble and violence in town centres by the increased numbers in the pubs.

To be honest it's all irrelavant anyway as come full time we'll have been kicked out of Euro 2004 for the amount of trouble caused and Turkey will get off scot free.

all day session for me:

Carrats (Carrotts whatever) Cafe on Southwick Beach (Over the lock gates by the power station) for a full english. Onto Waves (called La Cala but I like the original name) for a couple, probably watch the match in the Cricketers and obviously continue drinking. Then if we stuff 'em 5-0.....watch the repeated 'Live' match whilst consuming yet more alchohol.....what a marvelous day! (unless we loose)

If England win, the viewing figures are bound to be good anyway because a lot of people will watch the match again. Plus, there are a lot of people - old codgers etc - who don't have Sky or the desire to watch the match in a bar full of pissed up lads.

Right, thats sorted then.
I was all set to fly out to Turkey, go to the match, crack some Turkish heads and chuck some chairs through a few pub windows in Istanbul city centre.

Now I know that there's delayed coverage on ITV though, I think I'll stay home with a nice cup of tea and a packet of crisps instead, and watch the excellent coverage on terrestrial TV.

That Richard Cabourne really knows how to stop us hooligans, eh ?
