Either way, seems like it broke a little bit too late as far as Sky were concerned.
I guess it would take something really big for them to break from their usual routine of shutting down for the night, and even then it might just be picked up by Sky News as opposed to SSN if it's that big a story.”
I'm not totally sure on SSN timings but think you're right that it's either 11pm or 12am that's the final live hour and they just loop overnight.
It was always a bit of an anomaly where there'd sometimes be big sports events overnight (e.g. a big boxing match in the US/Ashes is Australia) but SSN obviously wouldn't have any updates because they'd be on loop overnight.
That said there is the valid point that if you're up at that time and want to know more about those events you'd probably be watching the events themselves rather than SSN.
The timing was quite bad for Sky last night- because obviously Sky News was covering the Presidential debate so didn't really have much time to cover the Allardyce story as much as they would on a regular evening.
However, I notice they did cover it a bit in their 10.30pm newspaper review.
On the Big Sam story (and to bring it back on topic), if he is removed as England manager I'm awaiting the usual 'Hoddle for England Manager' cries from the usual people.
To be fair if it gets him off co-commentary would that necessarily? I mean it's not like England will win anything anyway.
Also, just seen that 'The PL Show' line-up to discuss '20 Years of Arsene Wenger'. Yikes at one name in particular.
I'm sort of disappointed Stewart Robson isn't on mind - he normally provides unintentional comedy when talking about Arsene Wenger.
