For the uninitiated check out Freeview Channel 59 (BT Showcase) on 14th April @ 8.00pm - 10.00pm for free EUROPA League match.
Its worth checking this channel every European soccer night as they frequently show a live game.

Yes, I well remember it from my youth as an acceptable alternative, presumably because the eggchasers had claimed shared ownership of the name 'football', although in Union at least the conjunction of foot and ball seems to occur rarely, at least outside loose mauls.
However, I'm sure the U.S. annexation of 'Sarker' has polarized the two terms in this country. I'd class it as borderline acceptable, while sentencing anyone using the expression 'Footy' to spend every weekend with the grinning muppets on Football League Tonight.
