No not on robins TV, but scheduled for international broadcast. There must be streams out there? Anybody have any?

It’s on ESPN+ in the USA. So yep there will be streams.

Remember the Chelsea game in poor conditions, one of my favourite city games. Brilliant 

I remember Rob Turner missing the ball and Dave Bessants head when bob taylor scored the opener. I also remember watching the game back and hearing Greavsie's poor 'Bryant & May' quip.

No, it’s been selected for international coverage so can’t show it on RTV.

It does mean there should be quite a few streams available though 

Ralph, FA Cup games have never been streamed on RobinsTV. So really lucky for streamers that it is being shown internationally. Unfortunately I'll be down there so I'll miss all the hoo ha of people not finding any links on hesgoal or downloading various malware, all whilst someone says all the games are on IPTV and someone else then asks what IPTV is ... .

I thought Turner 2 and Gavin 1 scored

You're probably right, but I refuse to cheat and fact check befiore posting. I'll do it now.

(Edit: Yep. You are right. It was superbob who nearly took besants head off, with robbie turner scoring on the follow up.)

[AppyDAZE]

Anyone know if any of the 5:30 KOs are live on TV? And if so, where?

Cheers.

Same for the ones at 6  and 8.

Yes I thought the same but the clubs own statement - Due to Sunday’s Emirates FA Cup fixture against Swansea City being selected for international broadcast there will be no Robins TV stream available to supporters- suggests it would have been.

I’ll be there too as long this cold/cough doesn’t reappear for the umpteenth time tomorrow.

I remember that game. Loved that one.

We came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2. Dele Adebola! It was like a monsoon that night.

Me too. I went for a pee just before half time in the toilets between the Dolman and East End. Can remember standing by the corner flag watching the last few mins of the first half as a ball swirling in the wind was misjudged by our keeper (Basso probably) and flew over his head to make it 1-0 to them.

Second half was brilliant, a genuine draw that felt like a win. Adebola was an absolute beast that game.

Great afternoon, think I was in the shed with my mates.  Seem to recall it being a little lively outside as well, lots of little groups of Chelsea fans looking for trouble after the game. One of those games to get away from really quickly

Plus - Matt Bryant hadn't made his debut yet, Andy May hadn't signed yet and the game was broadcast by the BBC.

Other than that Sleepy, we agree with everything you say

Just trying to remember that Chelsea team now, what was it:

Peter Bonetti, 

Micky Droy

John Terry

Micky Haphazard

Ruud Gullitt

Zola

Peter Osgood

John Bumstead

 

.... what a team

 

 

 

 

[MrRedRobin]

Here's my team:

O' Leary

Vyner - Atkinson - Naismith

Tanner - Scott - Williams - Pring

Weimann

Semenyo - Wells

Keeping it similar from last weekend only change Williams for James.

And Kevin bloody Wilson 

He wrote this straight after that match…

 

[REDOXO]

I'm watching the Brentford v WHU game on ESPN+ in the USA and the commentator has referred to Jay DeSilva a couple of times, so I guess he's not playing tomorrow.

[Slack Bladder]

I think he'll play his strongest possible side.

All those changes he made against Lincoln was a big mistake 

Hope he's learned from it

[AppyDAZE]

Craig Pawson referee tomorrow. 

Isn't this guy a Premier League ref?

I feel a BCFC penalty coming.

Judging by ticket sales, I think you’ll be fine tomorrow.

Ha. I reckon I got more things right on my Chelsea post than they usually do, but I guess things might have changed. Hope you get to the game, especially if you've already paid for it.

That was my first match, in the shed with my Dad and brother. Set my expectations of being a City fan a little high unfortunately.

The Chelsea fans who were kept in at the end of the game ripped off the roof tiles from the shed where the big press box is now and were throwing them over to those leaving the Williams Stand. Fortunately their accuracy was similar to the Chelsea players on field.
