FOOTBALL fans were left raging after coverage of Fulham’s Premier League showdown with Nottingham Forest abruptly ended on Sky Sports Main Event.
The action at Craven Cottage was suddenly replaced with the World Darts Championship for more than a minute – before returning.
Fulham sealed a slender 1-0 win against Forest on Monday Night Football, thanks to Raul Jimenez’s penalty in first half stoppage time.
But those watching the action unfold on Sky Sports Main Event were left seething after 80 minutes.
That is because Luke Humphries’ clash with Paul Lim at the World Darts Championship suddenly appeared on their screens.
It reverted back to Fulham’s battle with Forest just over 60 seconds later, but fans flooded on to social media.
One said: “I know Fulham vs Nottingham Forest has been a boring game, but still no excuse for Sky Sports to change the feed to the darts.”
Another added: “Sky Sports Main Event really said ‘we’ve had enough of this, pop the darts on’.”
A third noted: “Sky Sports Main Event got bored with the football then? Yeah it was a c*** game.”
A fourth commented: “Sky Sports Main Event got bored of the Fulham v Forest game and switched on darts fairs.”
