Is that solely for overseas consumption?

Not on our Virgin package and I thought we had virtually everything.

Strange team, it’ll be interesting to see how they line up.

Have you seen half of them play? I certainly haven't. 

No. That's why I said it.

It's not a free hit - we need to win a bloody game!

Boro fans are talking about how they was 1-0 up against burnley in the fa cup and then it turned around 2-1 and kick started burnleys season.

Just goes to show how important these games can be.

I want the fa cup to be treated with seriousness by all teams unless absolutely necessary, I don't agree with majorly weakening teams at all.

4-2-3-1 you'd think.

Weimann wide left, JRC wide right, Can't well central.

Obviously you could play different formations with those players, but why would you change for this game?

I'd love a good FA cup run, but we're in the middle of a hellish run of fixtures with a paper thin squad.

Something has to give.

Much as I hoped. Eustace takes his work seriously. The travelling fans will be chuffed.

It's a maximum of six games between now and May and that's if we win the entire thing!

Makes no difference whatsoever in the general scheme of things.

You could hurt yourself slipping in the shower at home or be involved in a car accident on the way to work or get injured in the very next League game.

You can't operate on the assumption the worst case scenario might happen.

[Devon Rover]

Circumstances have combined to present Buckley with a great opportunity. I really hope he surprises me and takes it with both hands..

[Dan]

I believe if your tv can receive Optus Sport 3 where you are based, it’s on there.  
 

and Supersport Variety 1. ESPN+ 02 and Diema Sport.

If Isaac gets minutes then will become 4th son of a former Rovers player to play for first team, I think

Whatever you think of them, that's why we've signed the cover.

Didn’t Dunn senior score the winning penalty in a shootout on his debut against Newcastle?

I'm watching it on optus sport 3, although I'm close to muting it, nothing to do with the single female commentator awquardly reading from a script of course ;)

On bench

[Ricky]

Buckleys just gone from an attacking move to pass the ball backwards to Tronstad, tronstad was 2 yards away and he missed the past and had Tronstad running backwards to recover the ball. 

Just looks like he’s lacking any confidence at all. 

[RevidgeBlue]

I went on BBC live scores and there's a link on there to live commentary on Radio Lancs.

It'll be that and Liverpool v  Accy with the sound turned down for me watching Tyler Morton struggle to make an impression.

Who the hell in the US would want to watch Boro v Rovers in the Cup?
