Pat from Poole

Just signed to Offside Streams, having signed up to Star Sports a couple of weeks ago. I kind of guess that between the two of them I should hopefully be able to see the Saints game today.

Post of the day.

Al Jazeera Sport have Champions League rights. I'd far rather subscribe to them than BT Sport.

Al Jazeera Sport was indeed excellent today. Really good picture for the whole game, very enjoyable watch.

Would I be likely to get more joy viewing it through an iPad than a laptop? Presumably I could install Unotelly on the iPad and download an Al Jazeera Sport app on the iPad (?) Sorry, I know you have probably already answered about 500 questions on this.

It's odd. I also have Virgin Media broadband at the top speed (100mb), and have Al Jazeera Sport on a laptop using Unotelly DNS, but it was rubbish for me on Saturday. Kept stuttering, and I had to keep switching between HD4 and non-HD channel 5 every 3 or 4 minutes to be able to view it without it freezing. Was really annoying. I wonder how Kelly's Bar in London Road manage to show it OK, do they have one of these mega-size satellite dishes?

Lambert hit the bar at West Brom when we were 1-0 down. If that had gone in, it might have been a totally different game. Fulham never came close to that.

Yes.

Am a little bit surprised that there hasn't been mention on this thread of the (possibly not all that accidental) stamp on his foot by that thug Fellaini. Can't have made it easy for Osvaldo to play after that.

Unless they've got a monster-sized satellite dish, they may may find Al Jazeera Sport being rather erratic if they are relying on an online connection. It was hopeless for the Palace game, but fine for the Swansea game. I have kept my subscription to Al Jazeera Sport, but am expecting the stream to not be clever tomorrow, as it's on channel HD6 on Al Jazeera Sport tomorrow, and that particular channel does seem to be hit and miss.

Was Beattie going to the Saints game?

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
