Highlights from last nights Bromley match are available here. Worth a look if anyone doubts that even tier 7 players are capable of some moments of quality. Our two goals were both sweet strikes... just avoid looking at the rest of the game

Stone's rasper comes at the end, about six and a half minutes in.

Apparently the Harrogate Town v Barrow match was also quite entertaining. I'll take smaller teams and real passion than corporate sponsored phoniness.

What the **** are Eurosport up to? We don't care about sailing, we want to see the footie actually live. I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not - Eurosport's scheduling is well known to be the worst, THE WORST, on TV.

They did the same thing here with Wimbledon and the French Open. Im sorr, man. That sucks so badly.

They started as scheduled at 7.45 - 15 minutes after the advertised kick-off time.
I mean why don't they employ a scheduler who can actually find out the ACTUAL start times. Who gives a **** about sailing anyway? I'm so damn angry, man.

Yep. For Sailing???!!! They knew the start time was 7.30, but instead of showing the first 15 minutes, they show sailing which probably gets an audience of about 10 across the whole of Europe.
As I say, it is no surprise - they are inept at scheduling, they cancel programs left, right, and centre, as well as starting and finishing programmes at different times to either what they should be (in the case of live games like tonight), or to what is listed, so half the time you miss the start if it starts early.
And they've had over 15 years to get better at it.

I hope nothing interesting happened in the first 15 minutes.

And the French who work at Eurosport are saying the Americans are to blame for the scheduling snafus.

I didn't take much notice, but according to their schedule it was "Antigua Sailing Week". Madness, live football or recorded sailing? For whoever is in charge at Eurosport it is the latter.

It's a shame we don't have ukhs giving his opinion on this debacle.

bababui · 08-23-2006, 04:01 PM

Is Middlesbourough playing Chelsea ATM??

Sdpm100 · 08-23-2006, 04:01 PM

A thing to laugh at is what is at the top of eurosport.com

Eurosport - The best of sport live.

Yeah, when you decide to show it live.

I sat here at 7:38pm waiting for a game that kicked of at 7:30pm to come on and the words that were coming out of my mouth were ******* eurosport, **** eurosport and eurosport ********.

My first love of football came from hearing and watching highlights of Ajax, my passion came from watching Wigan Athletic, with the Latics in the prem I'm praying for the day they play Ajax in a friendly at Wigan then I can die happy
