I'm wondering if the Dublin - Brawl Saints game will have any air time! It was Bette Noir's last game, so might be!

Ah crap! I'll be in Gent getting prepped for our bout the next day!

Merrilady

I've never been happier to realise we have Sky Sports !
Will be setting to record and no doubt there will be Cyclones popping in at all stages of the week to watch it.

Am sooo excited

froodie

It's TOMORROW! EEP!

Shikei

Can't wait

So did anyone see it? Thoughts? I liked it, wished it focused more on the sport than the personal lives, but a great start for sure!

louloumc89

Wanna watch so bad but no sky Sky go doesn't seem to have that channel either

Shikei

Watched it with ECC in a bar and couldn't hear most of it (had a great time anyway though, thanks girls!)

Can't believe I didn't think of going to a bar!

Anyone know where I can watch this online? I'm only getting trailers and I've been to all the good streaming sites I know...

Yeah, I watched both eps - There was hardly any actual bouting action, which I was pretty disappointed by, but I still enjoyed it.

wreckless

yeah, pretty cool altogether, hopefully they make a bit more or release some other footage

froodie

Hate to say it, but it's a bit crap.
Awesome as these skaters might be, I don't really care about their job, their family or their pets.

I WANNA SEE SKATING DAMMIT!

I've watched most of the episodes and I'm with you on this. I'd love if it followed Brawling's season with all the big WFTDA teams and then Brawl Saints season against European teams. Would be much more interesting.

Merrilady

Yeah me too, caught 4 episodes so far and it doesn't focus enough on the sport or the training involved and/or the running of the league.

I suppose I'd say we are a hard bunch to keep happy.

Tails!

No there definitely needs to be way more derby! Its really just a documentary about peoples lives... I usually like documentaries too but these are just boring I wanna see derby

diddlybit

I haven't seen any episodes yet. I was really looking forward to it, but now not so much. The series seems to follows the tired trope that the mainstream media utilise to make roller derby a little more accessible to the masses.

*Insert socially acceptable career path for women* by day, *fire breathing Amazon warrior on skates* by night.

It's a pity, because I think this sort of marketing can be useful sometimes, but since the main audeince of the series is the members of the roller derby community, it's a little disappointing

binncheol

Eeep, the Dublin game against Brawl Saints is going to be on this week's episode. Let's hope that there's no clips of me making a tit out of myself!
Here's the clip:

I think we were in "we're just happy to be here" mode!
That or "don't **** your pants, don't **** your pants" mode
