    Celery

    I mentioned him above, Wolfman his name was.

     

    If your are called Jason, have you got a forehead shaped like the front of a Renault Van?

     

    I don't think so :-)

    More importantly what happened to the mush who appeared 2 minutes from kick off slap bang in the middle of the Milton brandishing a bunch of celery!

     

    Funny bloke. Looked a bit like Bon Scott.. Open leather jacket, bare chested the lot. Legend.

    One of the worst things about that chant (and there's plenty of them) is seeing grown men (and women) wave their arms from side to side.

     

    As I get older I find myself only getting stirred sufficiently to blast out OWTSGMI.

     

    After the antics of the summer I feel less inclined to chant the names of players, many of whom would jump ship in a heartbeat.

     

    I enjoy them while they are here.. but OWTSGMI is practically the only thing I will sing any more.

     

    File me under 'boring old c**t' I suppose.

    Francis Benali's Big Run

    in The Saints

    Posted

    Watched the footage of Franny and Ralph running into Arlesford and the clips of them through the country lanes before they got there. Don't know where Franny lives but got the impression that the run started from his home. Anyone, any idea how far Ralph ran with him, because it looked very impressive and certainly more than I'd have done, even at Ralph's young age (in comparison to me now).

     

    I think I read or heard in an interview that Ralph ran around 10 miles with Franny. More impressive is MLT who ran 20+ miles TWICE with Franny. I shall be running with Matt at the inaugural Southampton Half marathon next spring! I hope the race is a big success for the city as it brings a lot of investment on race weekend with hotels/restaurants being filled up etc.

    Post-Match Reaction: Swansea 0-1 SAINTS

    in The Saints

    That was my take on it as well mate, cracking three points for us to nick anyway.

     

    Yep. We were not allowed to play at all in the first half and I feared the longer the game went on the more chances we would concede to Swansea. They were more physical than I thought they would be and perhaps this was a ploy to get at us. However, the Bony sending off kind of backfired on Monk a little if that was indeed a tactic.

     

    We improved after half time and controlled the game far more intelligently without really carving them open, understandably so with the numerical advantage. IMO this was mainly due to Swansea settling for a point which surprised me even more. That said, when you see how many chances we had after we scored and Swansea threw caution to the wind... perhaps Monk had it spot on. He showed us a lot of respect in that second half by trying to manage the game into a goalless draw.

     

    When all said and done though we won a game we had no right to win arguably. The ref was a bit inconsistent especially for the home team so I am very happy with the 3 pts from a tough away fixture.

    Sports Nation HD was the best bet today. Froze a couple of times, but the picture was superb.

     

    Echo that. Have been totally frustrated of late but sportsnationhd has restored my faith a little in the not-totally-legit world of online footy streaming.

     

    It did freeze a couple of times but a quick page refresh and click of the channel for the saints game had me back up and running.

     

    Decent quality hooked up to my tv. No fuss. Works as it should.

     

    Recommended.

    Yep I use it with my offside streams login but there is a very decent and extensive free sports streaming add on. Its called SportsDevil and it has hundreds /thousands of sports channels in varying quality from loads of sources. For a free solution its one I definitely recommend checking out.

     

    To know which channels Saints are on, take a look at this thread (you may need to sign up to the forum for free - I can't remember) http://www.xunitytalk.com/showthread.php?1837-Channels-for-Football-Tonight

     

    It gets uprated daily by one of the admins at OffsideStreams.

    Ah yes sportsdevil that's the app I get lost in on xbmc. The varying quality is defiantly its drawback. I spend ages in that app trying things out.

     

    I love the idea of streaming HD quality to take advantage of my fibre cable :-)

     

    I can find crappy streams easily enough but getting those HD streams is the challenge for me.

    Does anyone use XBMC for streams?

     

    I've tried this last couple of weeks using a Linux media box with Gotham 13.2 and I have to say my experience has been frustrating.

     

    My previous solution was Bloodzeed via acestream running on my laptop connected via hdmi to my tv. I'm not unfamiliar with p2p streaming. This can sometimes be flakey but on the whole last year I watched all the games I wanted to.

     

    However, the xbmc solutions I have used so far have left me disappointed. I've been using p2p-streams which when they work are great. Trouble is they are flakey and constantly buffer or kick me out. I've tried all the settings recommended on the acestream website and I've port forwarded port 8621. My media player has a reserved ip as well so I think I've got it set up fine.

     

    The other options I have tried on xbmc are the usual ones such as wizwig and a few others that I've browsed and found but never got working and more importantly can never remember how I found them :-)

     

    Frustrating all in all which is why I have purchased a 6 month pass to sportsnationhd.

     

    It's a shame really as other facets of the xbmc experiencea be been good. My boy loves Cartoon Network and whilst I can stream the channel with a little fiddling around I have found the two shows he loves in full season form so he can play them anyway. Similarly my wife enjoys a couple of shows which are also available to stream usually from ice films.

     

    So impressed with this side of things that I've binned my virgin tv and gone for this plus free view as a cheaper monthly option.

     

    I'm happy to hear others thoughts on football on xbmc tho. Otherwise I might go and pick up a chromecast to stream my sportsnationhd from my laptop.

    Kevin Davies' Top Ten Football Grounds

    in The Saints

    Posted

    Fond memories of the Dell here too from the late '80's to mid '90's when I used to go all the time until going to Uni. Have lived up North ever since.

     

    I was first taken up the Dell by my grandad and then a family friend (my parents still hate football). My first game was a 1-nil win against Arsenal. I remember being more afraid of the Saints fans around me than anything else.

     

    Even then the Dell was no place for a shrinking violet. Quite a few times I had some close shaves with fellow supporters, on one occasion literally for breathing wrong - seriously. As I got into it more into my late teens I found my identity and a place at the back of the Milton with the muppets. A few of us from Applemore school in the New Forest used to go over on the bus and make a day of it.

     

    Happy days. All a bit too sterile and expensive nowadays. I have to pick carefully which games I can afford to go to but at least I feel safe taking my son. I'm still a bit of a shrinking violet it seems :-)

    I have 2 questions about Sports Nation HD.

     

    The streaming schedule on their site is lacking football streams after Hull v WHam, have they stopped streaming football?

     

    D I need to install an exe or rpm for this to work? I run off a Chromebook during the week, and need an install free solution.

     

    It does look good VFM.

     

    Thanks for any answers.

     

    No need to install anything. Its just a web page like any other showing flash video so all you need is a web browser and an internet connection.

     

    Like you I noticed the schedule for the next round of Premier league games is absent but I'm pretty sure the links will be there by the weekend. It seems like a well run site judging from my first experiences last night. The guy who runs the site was in the live chat answering questions.. pretty good customer service.

    Yeah they switched over during the first half. Good viewing from then on. Shame as I recently got a Linux media streamer to free me from the laptop to TV via hdmi setup. However I've found the solutions thus far on xbmc frustrating to say the least.

     

    I'll stick with sportsnationhd for now.

    Ahh apologies I may of discovered the clarification I was looking for myself.

     

    It seems they show WWE, MMA, boxing PPV and other such events in HD. The football seems exempt from this according to the clever wording on their FAQ forum post.

    Hmmm. Signed up for sportsnationHD.com Elite and have to say I'm a little disappointed with the picture quality. Am I missing something???

     

    I was led to believe from people on this thread that sportsnationHD is actually HD feeds?

     

    Apologies in advance if I've totally misunderstood things. I have to say the stream is excellent in terms of smoothness but the fullscreen quality on my PC monitor leaves a lot to be desired. Shame if so.
