mrpopulistfutebol Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Interesting question to pose to all of you on this board. It seems like everytime in the listings for Fox Sports World Canada whenever there is suppose to be a soccer game on or a soccer highlight show, the FSWC network shows that pretty lame show called Out of Bounds with John Oakley. Ok I will admit it was cool to watch for a while, however I will admit know I am just about sick of this show. It is lame, not funny and has run it's course. I dont know about you, but this is the only reason I would ever think about cancelling my subscription to this channel is because of this show. Now I know that FSWC is suppose to have Canadian Content, but this is ridicoulous. Is this show cancelled or what?? it seems like to me they are showing episodes of this show from 2001 and 2002. What is everyone's opinion on Out of Bounds. I find it is taking away from some soccer programming that would be much more entertaining then watch four jabronies sitting in a pub blabbering about such insipid topics and dumb trivia questions all in the name of "Canaidan Content"!!!!

Cheeta Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Dose anyone besides you watch it? Seen about 39 seconds of one show and that was enough for me. If the damn batteries in the remote weren't so worn down I'd have only seen about 30 seconds of that one show. Hell, it was so bad I very nearly had to get off my big fat arse there. And not for a beer! It was that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm with Cheeta. It was actually just very recently that I realized that show is Canadian. I always thought it was American. I don't watch FSW Report any more, either, not for at least a year, if not longer. Those people just irritate me too much, and I can get the highlights that I actually want to see from the Internet rather than have to sit through a bunch of EPL stuff I don't care about. Come to think of it, I barely watch FSWC at all any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacRWE Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 man, i like the show... I always used to listen to John Oakley on the radio. Kenny Robinson is funny and I like Cam "thae raging red-head" Stewart (who does the suday morning Leaf recaps). I dont know why you hate on the show... its better than off the record, I cant stand Landsberg, he is soooo arrogant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manutd1 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I also watched Out of Bounds for 39 seconds...I think it must just be filler for Fox Sports, but I'd much rather have Sky Sports back!! I miss that show so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Mouth Soup Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Out of Bounds is there purely to fill CanCon quotas, as is the incredibly dull and never-to-film-a-new-episode Direct Kicks. Those two shows, combined with the loss of one Sunday morning Premier League match and dropping Sky Sports News and other poor programming choices led me to finally drop FSWC for the first time since it went on the air. And I don't miss it at all. Global is slowly killing something that could have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Only an expat or a unfulfilled Anglophile could possibly prefer the godawful Sky Sports News to even an occasional appearance by Derek Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaku_bert Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Anyone who is a supporter of a fizzy pop leaugue team would welcome the return of sky who always showed hi-lites from non-prem league games. Sky's hosts did, however, appear only marginally smarter than a spear of asparagus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HamiltonSteelers Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 How am I supposed to get any televised coverage of my beloved Shrewsbury United?!?! What if I want post match interviews of the Walsall manager?!?! Bring back Sky... on the condition that it ONLY replaces Out of Bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Sky Sports News was the only way to get Championship or League 1 highlights before. FSW Report is a poor replacement, but better than nothing. As for OUT OF BOUNDS, it's another wasted portion of Canadian content. Poor production, just like FSWR, resembling a newsbroadcast from North Dakota. Probably because few people actually watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took the kids to the waterslides down in N. Dak on the weekend. Think I've said it before on this forum, but it needs repeating. North Dakotans are unfriendly hicks. I like most other Americans I meet (even the "scary" conservative types), but there's something about North Dakotans. When a Manitoban calls someone a hick, you hafta know they are tipping the scales on hick-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
