BBC Alba's Own Goals

Jeff Zycinski | 22:17 UK time, Saturday, 20 September 2008

I wanted to throw my support behind the new Gaelic TV channel, BBC Alba. I wanted to write enthusiastically about the opening night and the great line-up of programmes. I wanted to tell you about Monday night's new Gaelic news programme which will come from the studio in Inverness. (the control gallery is my old office, funnily enough). I wanted to do all these things, but I can't., because BBC Alba has already made me grumpy.

Why? Well, tonight I tuned in via my Sky box and watched an entire SPL fotoball match.
Sadly it was Hearts against Inverness Caley and we got beaten one nil.

I don't pay my licence fee for this kind of torture.
