filbertway Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 I think it will be 3-0 tonight Crouch x2 gerrard
Daggers Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Is the game only on sky sports? Yes At least it doesn't sound as though it is any good...well, until the last seconds of the first half.
filbertway Posted 6 September 2006 Author Posted 6 September 2006 In the words of Pete off BB Waink!!
lcfc_jme Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Yes At least it doesn't sound as though it is any good...well, until the last seconds of the first half. First half was absolutely poor. I preferred watching the France-Italy rematch, much more entertaining and better all-round viewing. Disappointing game from England tonight, Macedonia actually look the better side. Serves people right for putting the game exclusively on Sky as opposed to Terrestrial
Ricey Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 I was watching it on the net with Chinese commentry, in the end I just did other stuff and waited for the commentators to get excited (very excited).
filbertway Posted 6 September 2006 Author Posted 6 September 2006 I think they will start to tire around the 60-65 minute mark and we will have them pinned for the last 25/30 mins of the half, whether we will turn possession into goals we will see.
Lcfc66 Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 1-0, crouchy baby. 5 of england's last 10 goals have come from him. Crazay.
Floating Fox Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Well done Crouchy Boy Can I just say how shite it is to see the Macedonian fans making loads of noise and then the only response Our fans can give back is A shite Off tune) blow of the trumpet Starting to wish I hadnt Voted for that Band at the Walkers
Lcfc66 Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Germany 13-0. Doesnt beat Australia 32-0 Soloman Isles. But still.
Matt Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Got about £60 riding on 3-0 at 6/1 Oops....:pinch: Before the game I was thinking 3-0 and was going to put some money on it but when I got to the bookies they'd closed, so it did me a favour really! Athough I wouldn't have risked anywhere near £60...

Serves people right for putting the game exclusively on Sky as opposed to Terrestrial BBC have all the home matches of the qualifying. Sky all the away matches. Its good that we get to watch half the matches on terrestrial compared to previous campaigns.
Tommeh Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Was an awful game to watch, but at the end of the day we got the job done
lcfc_jme Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 BBC have all the home matches of the qualifying. Sky all the away matches. Its good that we get to watch half the matches on terrestrial compared to previous campaigns. It's good that we get half, but it's not right. I think that all of the National team's games should be shown on terrestrial TV, especially considering that not every household in the UK has access to Sky Sports, yet may still want to watch the team on their travels. At the end of the day, it's all about money, as was the case with the ECB selling the cricket rights to BSkyB after the ashes (bad move in most people's opinions). Disappointing game of football as well. England were never completely comfortable and they didn't look like a threatening, dangerous, world beating side. Then again, they were away in a hostile place, but even so, they didn't play very good football. Reminded me of Sven's England. A win is a win, but like people say about Leicester, the football is sh*te and fans deserve better, especially considering the quality England have at their disposal.

Athough I wouldn't have risked anywhere near £60... I didn't lose anything because I had Scotland 2-1 @ 9/1 and England 3-0 @ 6/1 bet cost £15 but I'll pick up £50 so nice little earner in the end

If anything it should be the other way round, even though this debate doesn't effect me because I have Sky.But if I didnt I would much prefer to see the away games. Because then I'd go to more home games, I'm thinking of going to the next one v Macedonia again ot Old Trafford but I doubt they'll be more than 50,000 there due to it being on BBC. If it were on sky it would sell out 75,000, but theres no way I'd ever go to a country like France or Spain to watch England let alone Maccedonia meaning more people who can't go can see it.

Daggers Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Was an awful game to watch, but at the end of the day we got the job done Not worth watching MOTD then?
Ultra Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Not worth watching MOTD then? Only for the Northern Ireland game. They played a lot better than England did!
Thracian Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 I'm not surprised there's so little comment.
Ultra Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 I'm not surprised there's so little comment. It was like any number of dire away performances during the Sven era. Just as well we'll have Rooney and Joe Cole back next month.
