After the no show of the Birmingham v Hereford highlights i thought i'd write a short letter or email of complaint to ITV asking why the highlights were not shown. This is my email and it's response.

Comments: ITV 1 - Carling Cup Highlights - 29th August 2007.

I would like to know how a program called 'Carling Cup Highlights' can include
the highlights from the Champions league qualifiers? This is a
particular concern of mine as it seemed that the programme either chose
not to show or forgot to show any of the highlights of Birmingham vs.
Hereford game. It wasn't even mentioned as having taken place. We were
treated to idle poor chat between the presenter and the' expert'. Why
were the Birmingham highlights not shown? Why were the highlights or the
goals from the other games cut down to mentioning goals without showing
them? Why were the Champions league (qualifier) goals shown on a
programme that appeared, according to the title, to have little to do
with the Carling Cup.

Thank you for your enquiry.

During the early stages of the Carling Cup where there over 40 teams in
action over two days, it is not possible for us to show highlights from
every game.

We're sorry you were not able to view highlights of your team but please
be assured that your comments have been duly noted.

Just thought it maybe of interest to someone possibly. Bit of a 'shut up' type response, which is what i expected. It would have been nice to have got a more detailed reply though.

P.S. Still haven't seen the goals.

i remember when they showed that programme, no birmingham city. but i saw the highlights on sky sports news, the evening after the game was played, so 24 hours after. they showed all the other gams sooooo many times and seeing birmingham on for about 20 seconds with only the goals seemed rare. all these idiotic companies look at us as if we are nothing.
