Frankly Sky sports has sucked ever since Martin Crowe got the head job there. FFS 3 channels of golf Sunday afternoon! He might have been  a decent batsman but he sucks BIG timme when it comes to sorts programming. Sky Sports "highlights" being a prime example. A waste of a channel.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Yeah, I hate when these uppity free-to-air channels get their greedy mitts over these one-off sporting occasions because the coverage is almost always sub-par and greatly inferior to what's offered by pay networks. 

And furthermore, instead of getting a seasoned commentator who's been calling games week in and week out, we get treated to these two-bit network hacks who are either hell bent on watering down the style of commentary to compensate for the "average" viewer, or he'll talk NON STOP for 90 minutes, leaving a goddamn commentary-shaped stain over what should've been a great television spectacle.

That, and the fact Channel 10 can't do sports to save themselves.

I used to be vehemently opposed to pay TV getting big sports matches as I can't afford Sky... but now I look at it as an excuse to head down to Four Kings, which is more fun anyway

Cheers robbwatson, same here. Frustrating as Guandong is usually OK. If anyone finds a better channel please let us know.

Guandong is playing...not impressed with the quality but that could just be the connection. Language barrier kinda sucks...any English subtitles? Heck, even Italian subtitles would work! :P

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->Sydney have stage fright.

Zadkovich defended a run by Beckham by not kicking the sh*t out him as he usually does, so they've been told to play nice.

Brosque then called for a questionable offside.

Popovich rolls a pass to put their striker through. Playing nice indeed, but the gift was squandered with a pissweak shot.

Won't hear me complaining, I'd rather our match not be cancelled. Sydney FC is just a warmup for the Galaxy anyway

Sydney playing with an experimental non-existent midfield formation tonight.


I LOL'ed

Brosque onto the top of the crossbar after Juninho's run which got Basheer (commentator) horny.

Nah, Guandong is low quality - my broadband is flash but it looks poor.

Commentary say that?

Wish my brother were here, he speaks Mandarin... but since Guandong = Canton, then the commentary is probably in Cantonese.

Heck, I'd rather go with radio than this. It's stopping and starting more than a first time learner driver in a manual. Anyone know any good online radio broadcasts?

19' Brosque on the counter after LA were mesmerised by the way Bolton bobbled around a free kick Beckham put straight on his chest.

a "spot kick" is a penalty, and it wasn't a penalty, was it?

If Brendan Santalab (Culina's revenge) can just about waltz through the middle of your defence single handedly, questions have to be asked about the Galaxy defence.

May be 2-0
