England Euro Qualifier
 

What a crock of bollox. Capello has made only a couple of changes to the floppy bastards who balls up the World Cup for us. I'm not even going bother to take the afternoon off and go and have a pint or two and watch it tomorrow afternoon at 12pm Pacific time. ALthough it looks like we have an easy enough group to get through.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

With Ingerlund's new defence it's good for Crapello that Berbatov is retired from intl football. Switzerland aren't easy to beat - reckon a nil nil over there is on the cards.

Won't watch either game, not worth getting up in the wee hours.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Watch Scotland instead:thumbup:

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Is it actually on ? Which channel ?

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

I dont see who else he should be picking really:confused: but then given my fantasy footy standing I'm not qualified to comment.

No one was exactly clamouring that the wrong players were going to the world cup as I recall. They just played without any energy or guile. One you expect from them, one not so much.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

not a bad feed. Cheers.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

No problem...it will be on UK Nova in a few hours and on Setanta Canada @ 19h00 EST on Sunday...this feed is via Setanta Australia which seems to be a direct feed from Setanta Ireland.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Just got even better.....why oh why was SWP in the squad @ the World Cup instead of Adam Johnson.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

4-0. Amazing result, Bulgaria are well up there. Finally Capello has cracked it! New team, New England!!!!! :thumbsup:


Ahem.. :rolleyes:

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

That was a good link. Thanks!

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

If I may so bold as to butt in with a big :thumbsup: for wee N.Ireland.

1-0 against Slovenia. Next stop, er, Italy.

There will be some party tonight and I'm sad to be missing it. Oh, and England did rather well.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

My goodness. You have hidden depths. I didn't know you appreciated the beautiful game.

Howay the Noirish.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

ATDHE is usually excellent. That one and Channelsurfing.net....it's almost as if they only list them if they're any good. :)

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Well done the Ulster boys and don't forget your friends(0-1) south of you.:thumbup:

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Oh, of course! G'won the southerners :beer:

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

What is the best link to watch the game on today????

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

See posts 5 and 15 atdhe.net and channelsurfing.net. They have lists.

This is a good back up.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

This one is working right now

http://atdhe.net/23663/watch-switzerland-vs-england

I did some checking and this feed is from Al Jazeera Sports 3 in English with Tim Sherwood as a h/t pundit.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Apparently, the Switzerland game will be on TSN2 tonight @ 20h eastern time....ignore the 'bowling' that is listed on the on screen programming...too bad I caught parts of it via the web courtesy of Al Jazeera Sports.....I honestly can't remember the last time an England competitive game was on anything but PPV or Setanta.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

I wish TSN had said that earlier because I'd have avoided the score and got the beers in. :frown:

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

CBC in the world cup?

Or did you mean we didn't compete? :rofl:

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Er, what I really meant was an England game as either a friendly or a qualifier for a tournament......which have traditionally been PPV or Setanta (and then never live).

I don't believe that Setanta had the England/Switzerland game in their schedule to play in a few days and TSN2 must have quickly purchased the broadcast rights with little notice.

I don't believe that Setanta Australia were broadcasting it as my online feed was via Al Jazeera Sports

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

How could you tell? I just googled Al Jazeera and Trevor Francis and that does seem to be the case, so I obviously had the same one. The presenter was someone who had been on Setanta but there were no Setanta graphics.

How do people like you know these things? :rofl:

Or were you online early enough to see the channel?

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Setanta seems to a bit crap this season. Its full of rugby now which I believe was previously only available on OUTtv.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

They still have three live games Sat/Sun plus live Champs League/FA Cup/League Cup.

And yesterday I watched England under 21s. Plenty of Live footie action still.:)

Still good value, I reckon.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

You make a good point. I think I'll keep it for awhile to see if I watch much on there as TSN2 seem to have a few more games this year. Also, I have to get Cricket Plus or CBN to watch the Ashes which will add to the expense.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

I googled the name of the girl who appeared at half time (Souness) who also referenced Al Jazeera Sports....i believe she is the adopted daughter of one sour faced Scotsman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_Sports#Football

This Al Jazeera sports seems like quite the channel in both arabic and english...now if only I could forget about the Osama links.

The TSN2 feed was from ESPN Int'l/ESPN3.com with Shaka Hislop doing most of the commentary (probably from ESPN HQ).

Setanta to me is still a deal...as I get 30% off the $14.95 via bundling on my internet/cell/cable bill.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

Ha. And there I was thinking you were clever or had "connections." :rofl:

I think we've just been spoilt a bit. I can't remember what the cost was for Sky before I came over but I'm sure I was paying more in 2004 than Setanta costs now, even with a worse exchange rate, and we didn't get the 3..00 Saturday KO then.

Of course, Sky Sports did offer plenty of other things that Setanta doesn't but you'd have to be a major fan of several sports to have watched a lot. Rugby League would be nice - Setanta used to do it.

I do miss Soccer Am...that was a laugh.:rofl: Tiswas for footie fans.

Re: England Euro Qualifier
 

I'm informed that Soccer AM went shit & unfunny. I'd watch it again if they brought in Sally James, not that Torquay dog.
