Football : Season 2009/2010

[punky]

The FA don't have rights to the game. Only the home team do. In this case its Ukraine. So for once its not the horrible, money grabbing FA that is ruining the game.

Why this company have done this, **** knows. Noone in their right mind is going to cough up. They would have done better streaming it for free with an advert banner at the bottom.

Ireland vs Italy will be a more interesting game anyway.

It's probably an 'introductory' idea to see if it'll take off. When this sort of thing happens it's normally due to research from focus groups who do surveys asking how much people would be willing to pay. I never understand why those who answer that sort of survey don't respond with some ridiculously low price.

Agreed

This is laughable.............

Watch Ukraine v England live on SunSport!</B>

England's World Cup qualifier in the Ukraine is not available to watch on the TV, but SunSport has come to the rescue.
You can watch the full game live on your PC on October 10 by signing up for our superb new pay-per-view service.

That reminds me, I must buy "The Sun" tomorrow to find any other scintillating offers that they have.

Would be nice for all home nation matches to be on tv 'by law'.

Any one else see the City v Villa game last night? Thought it was an absolute cracker even though the keepers didn`t have much to do.
Draw was probably a fair result, neither team took the game bt the scuff the neck and wen`t for it. The De Jong tackle on Ashley Young was a cruncher, boy that guy looks "hard as nails".
Also thought Agbonlahor played well allthough he does seem to be an implulse player, give him a bit of time and he mucks it up(bit like Bellamy).
I suppose it just shows why the prem is such an alure for other countries and i think proved there are probaly 7 or 8 teams all in with a shout of getting top 4. Richard Dunne i take my hat of to you sir, you have more class in your little pinky than Adebayor has in that daddy long legs frame of his Maybe you could teach him about manners!
Just why didn`t you play like that last year, you`d have still been at the club if you had.....

Police study Chelsea fans' racist chants
Footage of West London club’s followers singing racist and anti-semitic songs provokes official complaint from rivals

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle6863865.ece

Apparently they were chanting "spurs are on their way auschwitz"

I wasn't going to start a post about this because of the Campbell stuff, but.. yeah.

"Apparently is too kind". it is quite clearly the song they sung. We've been complaining about this for years from them. Nothing's really happened.

I mean, Abramovich is Jewish. Avram Grant is too. Apparently AG's dad walked out at the Carling Cup final over it.

One in the eye for Liverpool fans.......

Owen said: “It’s fantastic working with Sir Alex Ferguson.
“It’s everything you would expect from a top, top team. They are the biggest club in the world, and everything from the kit man to the canteen girls and through to the manager is first class.�

The Liverpool Echo

No doubt trying to heighten the rivalry btween the clubs

Good grief, is this a first ?

Sir Alex Ferguson has apologised to referee Alan Wiley for any embarrassment caused by comments the Manchester United boss made about him

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/8300554.stm

He went too far. Even for him with what he said. Wiley was shown to have run more than most players and had only recently passed a fitness teat. Fergie's comments where designed to deflect attention from United's poor performance but this time he shoes massive disrespect to the ref and caused people to unfairly question him! So much for the Respect campaign!

So it's good he said sorry
