Pat from Poole

Yeah, he doesn't live in Bournemouth, he lives in Poole. His kids went to the same school as ours until a couple of months ago, they were on the waiting list for places at a school in one of the posher parts of Poole, nearer his home, which they have now got. So my missus doesn't get to chat him up at the school gates any more, probably a good thing. I saw him at the school sports day, he hadn't long been apppointed Accrington's manager at the time, he spent much of the sports day on his mobile, presumably football-related business.

Ah yes, appears to be on channel HD4.

Is the Saints game actually on Al Jazeera today? Struggling to see what channel it's on. The schedule just says it's on the TV+ channel.

The thing I don't get is, where are the pubs getting the games from?

2.5 out of 3 for me. Went to the ZDS semi home leg but not the away leg. Was there for Franny's goal and MLT's penalty miss. I have never celebrated the award of a penalty since.

I've seen a fair few managers do this recently; it seems paranoia has no limits.

And me.

Spot on. Post of the thread.

I suspect there will be less than 10 points between 8th and 16th at the end of the season; there's no way of knowing what injuries we'll get and what random refereeing decisions could impact on us. And also whether any Cup runs may impact on League results (though Cups seem almost irrelevant these days). My hunch would be about 10th for Saints.

Yes, I had problems in the first-half on Saturday when their server encountered difficulty at about 3pm with loads of people trying to access the site. My account was blocked due to multiple login attempts and I ended up watching most of the first-half on another stream. Was fine for the second-half though, and was an excellent-quality picture.

Was he?

Maybe also depends on any plans to extend the ground.

Just looked at the schedule of live games for tomorrow; I see they're also showing Boscombe v Wigan live...... http://www.en.aljazeerasport.tv/Schedule

If you look on Digital Spy Forums, there's loads of debate from people who know a lot more about those sort of things than me. This board is the one to look on; there's a couple of threads with decent stuff on there. Also there's an Australian message board called Whirlpool Forums which is decent. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=193

Yes, you can link it to your TV with an HDMI cable. Though I have found you lose some of the resolution, and I get a better quality picture on my PC monitor.

Don't think it is illegal.

This thread is quite handy...... http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1871817&page=10

I really don't care who the pundits are. I don't even care if the commentary is in Arabic, most of the English commentators are shocking anyway. I've found the customer service decent his week when I've E-mailed them with a query. My only concern is whether their site will crash on Saturday afternoon with all the new customers they've suddenly got in the last couple of weeks.

You don't need VPN; just go for Smart DNS; it's $4.95 per month, about £3 in our money. The Al Jazeera site is $135 for the season, about £80. I've just taken it for a month at $19 in case SKY somehow get an injunction against them. Not sure about the IP address bit. It's very simple to install the Smart DNS, just go to the Overplay site, it's a 3 or 4-step process which takes 2 minutes.

They're currently showing the following friendly games on their HD channels: Belgium v France, Portugal v Holland, England v Scotland, Real Madrid v Barcelona, Evian v Sochaux. Plus an edition of Prem League Netbusters. Plus a whole load of stuff on their non-HD channels. It's very ace.

Correct. Well worth it though.

Also, they've just increased the number of sports channels to 16. They've got ridiculous amounts of football on there. Schedule of live stuff is as below: http://www.en.aljazeerasport.tv/Schedule

Al Jazeera Sport is the future. SKY should be concerned about them, methinks.

I also have this. It is excellent. West Brom v Saints on Al Jazeera Sport HD5 on Saturday. Bring it on.
