stuwilky Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 There is only one person talking arse bruce. And I'll give you a clue, it wasnt me or Tris. HTH. Before getting cocky and abusive, perhaps you would explain how Rovers can force any TV channel you care to mention to buy rights for a game which don't even belong to Rovers to sell? Now, see how polite I am!!!

bluebruce Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Before getting cocky and abusive, perhaps you would explain how Rovers can force any TV channel you care to mention to buy rights for a game which don't even belong to Rovers to sell? I think your whimsical 'I'm with stupid' signs started the cockiness and abuse. And I'll tell you again, since you don't seem to have grasped it on the previous post, I wasn't saying they could 'force' any TV channel to buy the rights. I'll admit though to being previously unaware that the rights to televise the game in this country only belong to Salzburg. I'd still imagine we could have tried asking Salzburg to tout the game cheaply to British broadcasters, though they'd probably be less willing to do so since the ticket proceeds go to them. As for you, Stu, I simply can't compete with that rapier wit. So I won't try.
LDRover Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Fair play Bruce, you're giving as good as you're getting.
stuwilky Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 As for you, Stu, I simply can't compete with that rapier wit. So I won't try. Many have tried and failed, there is no shame in conceding defeat bruce.
bluebruce Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Many have tried and failed, there is no shame in conceding defeat bruce. No! STOP! I surrendered, won't you let me live in peace?!?
stuwilky Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 No! STOP! I surrendered, won't you let me live in peace?!? No. I wont. :ph34r:
RevidgeBlue Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Bruce has had a lot of extremely unfair stick on this thread, it surely wouldn't have been beyond the wit of Rovers to negotiate a beamback arrangement once it was clear it wasn't being shown on TV anywhere. Then again, it might have impacted on the sale of 579 executive packages. :ph34r: And in many ways it's not fair on those who have invested considerable time and money in time off work and travelling to the game etc.

FourLaneBlue Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Beam back a UEFA Cup game to Ewood!!!! Maybe we could get Scotty to beam it up... Sorry...I'll get my coat
blue phil Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Didn't we have World Cup games beamed back to Vue Cinema a while ago . That would have been OK for us plebs ...
Gav Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 I wonder if the Salzburg fans are gathering in a local watering hall like we did over there. Haunts such as the Fox and hounds, Moorgate and white bull will be short on Red bull come the close of business tonight!
Jordan Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 is the draw for the group stages on Friday?
stuwilky Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 is the draw for the group stages on Friday? Next Tuesday Jordan
Gav Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 They've only sold 200 havent they? Is that right? you'd not expect many more I guess as teams on mainland Europe don't travel like the English.
Jan Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Is that right? you'd not expect many more I guess as teams on mainland Europe don't travel like the English. Or the Scots
Gav Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 Or the Scots Agreed, in fact nobody travels like Celtic and Rangers fans anywhere else in the world
bob fleming Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 That's right Gav. Nor are they ever drunk or insist on standing.
AggyBlue Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 That's right Gav. Nor are they ever drunk or insist on standing. You mean yobs
bob fleming Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I suppose I do. They were shouting and singing down here, making a right racket that Celtic lot. Where did they think they were, a football match? Some of them were even happy.
SD4E Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just spoke to one of the girls who looks after the corporate side, who said rovers had sold almost 18,000 for tomorrow night. Thats better than i expected
Atomicrover Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just spoke to one of the girls who looks after the corporate side, who said rovers had sold almost 18,000 for tomorrow night. Thats better than i expected That probably includes the gratis Season Ticket holders as well whether they turn up is another matter!
Modi Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just spoke to one of the girls who looks after the corporate side, who said rovers had sold almost 18,000 for tomorrow night. Thats better than i expected But that'll include season ticket holders (what is it about 13k?) of which, 2/3rd might attend due to it being midweek. Still looks like a crowd approaching 15k might be on the cards
bluebruce Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I've become very worried. The game is supposed to be shown on Eurosport right? I just looked at Eurosport's website and their tv planner. It shows that at 7:30pm tomorrow, they're showing Tottenham vs Slavia Prague. Incidentally that game is also being shown on ITV4. Doesn't show on eurosport 2 either. Edit- Nevermind, just checked a little bit more and it is on British Eurosport, so it's fine. Edited September 27, 2006 by bluebruce
