FTA football thread 2018/19

Mr.Nice Guy

If you're looking for football at really inconvenient times of the day, Freesports are showing the J1 league. First game of the round is tomorrow morning.

Iniesta's Vissel Kobe side are playing on Sunday at 7am if you're awake that early. Vermaelen also at the club.

Most interesting to me is promoted side Yokohama FC who boast Japanese legend Kazuyoshi Miura. Man's still going strong as he approaches his 53rd birthday! Former Celtic player Shunsuke Nakamura also plays for them, at what seems by comparison the very young age of 41.

Your new summer of football

ITV and BBC will be reshowing Euro 96 plus other Euro matches that will bring in the viewers.

MOTD will be Match of Their Day - various pundits will pick their favourite premier league games for reanalysis.

Muahahaha

Yeah I see Virgin Media Sport are having a Liverpool weekend this weekend with last years winning CL campaign being re screened in full. Pity its not FTA though. Id say Virgin Sport customers are cancelling their subs so the re-screenings are in hope that they wont.

Would imagine RTE have rights to a lot of those games but presume they would have to pay more money to UEFA to screen repeats so it probably wont be happening on RTE.

That said Im sure RTE could screen some old Ireland games, would love to see Ireland v Russia from Dalymount again, Liam Brady was unbelievable in that game.

So Irish users of the basic Sky package be able to tune in via Sky Sports? Or might that be blocked because Premier Sports have the rights here? And this Pick channel, what number is it on Sky boxes or does it have to be tuned in.

Roll on 18th June and also the Saturday evening 7.45pm kick offs, great time to watch a game.

Pick tv is only SD so if you want to see the game in HD you may need to have Sky Sports, Pick is on 159 in Sky in Ireland.

Muahahaha

Not really, just tune in the UK version of pick. There's now a HD version

Nunu

But the EPG for pick on my sky box no longer lists these games...you think it be on the HD version if I manually tune it in?
