FF points regardless, this is some game of football

Jason Witten has saved my ass along with DeSean Jackson.

I reckon I need something special from Manning to go to 5-0

I love Dez Bryant

48-48?

Is this the NFL or Super XV?

Tony Romo suddenly remembered he is Tony Romo.

18 points up with just my kicker to go, can't see that lead lasting

Podge_irl

I'm 12 points behind irritable bowel syndrome so look in good condition as long as the 9ers don't completely screw the pooch again.

You lost by 0.4 and Ryan Matthews.

So probably 0.5

Arrived home from holidays about 1am last night and woke up this morning with FIFA 14 waiting for me. Result!

You weren't far off. 1.2 in the end.

Glad I won my matchup. Does this mean I go top on head to head or is overall points the first tiebreaker?

Fat lady hasn't sung yet, a ground and pound offence with plenty of FG's from Atlanta this evening could yet clinch it.

Now is anybody interested in purchasing some slightly clutched, second-hand straws :P

The important thing is I won the MediocreBowl.

I have Matthews in my League of Record. I hate him.

Podge_irl

I think it's head to head record as the tie-breaker. Its one of those set-up rules that I paid absolutely no attention to.

matthew8

Top of the league hooray. Up next against ugo "too cool to set his own lineup but still won" warriers.

Lads, has anyone used Sky Go through their Xbox? I've read mixed reviews with some people saying it can have issues with buffering and unexpectedly closing.

There's one space for a device left on the account and I'm worried if I risk the Xbox rather than my laptop, it will all go horribly wrong and I'll be crying into my cans, missing all the wonderful Heineken Cup rugby.

Hagz

Yeh I've used it a few times. I've used both my laptop and my XBOX to watch super rugby on Sky Sports Xtra and they're both the same in my experience. Both can experience some buffering hiccups, but for the most part run fine. I've never experienced unexpected closing though..

Two things

1. I have it and it's great, depends in your connection I suppose ( 50mb upc for me) but the quality is superb, especially is you have a HD cable. Only buffers very occasionally. Main problem is lip synch can be a little off but if like me your only watching sport in it it's fine.

2. You can un register the xbox from the account and register your laptop if you don't like it, assuming you have control of the account

Thanks a million for that. I've a very fast connection so it should be grand. My laptop is currently registered so I'll have to deregister that and then add the new device. I think there's an issue with too many changes in the one month, which was also my worry, but it sounds good.

Cheers- there won't be a load of lads staring at a 13 inch screen, giving me guff anymore.

I always watch the HEC and premier league through sky go on my xbox.

Always works perfect for me.

Actually, are you able to re-vote in the poll or does what a certain mod just did not reset it properly?

Nah it's censored, you see. When you write "píss", it automatically replaces it with "Harp". Not his fault.

Ive seen it buffering on a 1.1 GB/s connection with a latency of 4 ms... so I don't think anyone is going to be able to completely avoid it. You'll be fine either way I'd say.

1.1GB? Jesus. I can live with 4ms. We practically observe the world at about a 4ms delay.

If you make this your profile Ugo I'll buy you both a pint at the next beers (out of justsomebloke's money)

Matchup with Ugo starts tonight. He has Bears D and Forte going against the Giants. I'm fearful they might score 50. I'd be relieved if they only scored 30.

What the hell is this fresh madness? New addition to the 'Sports' category has completely thrown off my browsing to the rugby forum!

Ha, my girlfriend's cousin does that. Aside from it being gas I don't see the point of it.
