**the-blue-harp** · 24/03/2009, 12:27 PM

sorry to start a whole new thread, but i couldnt see where else to post it, ill be in falkirk, scotland next wednesday for the ireland italy match, im pretty sure scotland are playing iceland or somebody on wednesday night as well, so the pubs will be showing that no doubt. Where could i watch it online? I dont think sky are covering it and they wont have rte in scotland, really dont want to miss this match.

Keep an eye on this

A few of us will be around Saturday, so hopefully we can find some feeds to the game and post them up for the exiles.

Some times the free streams are ****e. You'll probably be able to buy it on pay per view on setanta.com for around a tenner.
Otherwise check the link above, www.justin.tv, www.channelsurfing.net or rte always has live radio commentary if you're stuck.
if you don't see something on justin keep an eye on the chat rooms as people post links throughout game. This is probably the biggest game that night so should be lots of streams

Slighlty off topic, I'd like to add a request about online coverage of the Bulgaria match. Like a fool when I heard the rumours that the Italian match was going to be in the north I booked a weeks holiday and return flight to Milan on Saturday (doh!) its a good job that easyjet do internal flights to Bari, you could hardly get further away from Milan. Does anyone known of any decent Irish bars in Milan that I'm likely to get the Bulgaria game in?

Pogue Mahone's near the Porta Romana Metro Station definitely has SKY. Have seen EPL game there.

Setanta are screening the Italian game over in the UK. I'm sure if you find an Irish pub they'll have that on.

**fergalr** · 25/03/2009, 12:38 PM

What time is kick-off for this?

It definately isnt listed. Its strange no uk station has looked to show this game in the UK. Channel 5 showed the georgia away game and a few years ago BBC2 showed the away game with france. Maybe Italy are charging too much for the rights and it not worth paying for it!!! Anyone know any good puibs in edinburgh to watch this game if its on?????

????.......What part of Italy is that?

**shakermaker1982** · 25/03/2009, 2:30 PM

I was sure setanta had bagged the rights for all Ireland away fixtures. I'm going to be really ****** off if this game isn't screened over in the UK.

I thought so too, but according to this - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcas...fiers.html?rss - the Italy game is the only game they don't have the rights to??

Is RTE showing it?

Yeh RTE are definately showing it, theyv advertised for it already. Looks like its live streaming for the rest of us.

Can't believe this game isn't on in the UK

There is a small chance that someone will come in at the last minute to show it. I remember the first game of Stans reign in Germany was shown on BBC3 at the last minute. Heres hoping themselves or Channel 5 will step into the breach - no idea why setanta aren't showing it

**loscherland** · 26/03/2009, 12:48 AM

For anyone in Australia... ESPN had advertised that they were showing the Bulgaria game... but turns out that they're only showing a recording of it - eh 15 HOURS later @ midnight on Sunday night. Disaster.
In saying that, i've seen their schedule change vs what's scheduled online.
They're showin Montenegro Italy live in the morning.
Not sure what the story is with the Italy game, but i'm not too confident of anyone showing it as nobody's advertising it yet... absolute nightmare

I'm going to start bombarding tv stations with emails before I catch the flight home this afternoon. Like you say BBC3 or Channel 5 are our best bet. Setanta will be cancelled if they are not careful!
