In fairness I was more of an operating systems man, but to block the quotes the coder would need a programming language which allowed him to override the ignore option and block replicas, and altered replicas (due to the addition of italics, quotes, formatting differences on the page code due to the text being in a different place). VBulletin boards are fairly basic so no chance of that. Not that I am an expert anymore in web, but pretty easy to tell from common sense. surprised anybody needs to ask really, 5 seconds of common sense and you're sorted.

I think you should stick to being an expect in your chosen field of knowing when the football is on the telly as hiding quotes programmatically would be an very simple.....even 8 years ago.
Anyway back on topic, I have to say I am not missing either Sky Sports or ESPN so far. By the end of the week I'll have been to 2 home European games and a home league game and I've listened some great radio commentary of my team's 2nd away victory in Europe. Broadcasts in Norway and Belarus have also provided me with some highlights.
I am a little surprised that VM haven't managed to get a deal but that seems to be the nature of the industry, with the paying public loosing out one way or another.
