I see this match is live on Premier Sports. Is it on any other channel?

doesn't look like it - http://www.live-footballontv.com/
Its on Setanta Ireland I think
Its really not that complicated!!!
That's no good to me! My son's new school has an event for parents on that night. I'll try and wriggle out of it.
With your bad back you shouldn't be wriggling out of anything.

Andy Reid has withdrawn from the squad due to a hamstring injury: http://www.independent.ie/sport/andy...-29760057.html
Premier Sports, Setanta Ireland and Polsat Sport appear to be the only channels broadcasting the game: http://liveonsat.com/los__FT_friend_intl_ALL.php
Just as I had Polstat sport added to my cable package! Usually its just cow tipping.

Excellent. I have Premier Sport.
I use to be able to get some Polsat channel on satellite in the mid 1990's. You could just about watch an English speaking film and hear the English being spoken in the background, whilst one Polish male, a leftover from the iron curtain days in a job for life, would speak all the lines in monotone Polish. Apparently this mono dub technique had its charm for Poles.
File under - useless barely connected ramblings.

You know what that makes me think of? That scene in "Airplane!" where the different broadcasts in the different languages are talking about it and the one guy has a gun to his head?

The media are saying that MON will be changing both personnel and tactics for Poland. Do people here think this will be subtle or more obvious?
Hoolahan looked a class act on Friday and was deployed in a role that suited him. I think this role can be just as vital in an away game with less possession. The wide guys did well and should be retained. My inclination would be to pick a similar XI, tell them to express themselves and be quick to press the abll, but to be cogniscent that the opposition is technically good so there'll be more time spent without the ball and to be mindful of counter-attacks. We'll probably be more geared towards counter-attacking ourselves, but I don't necessarily see personnel changes from Friday being necessary to achieve that.
I'll be very interested to see what MON does tomorrow. Part of me fears round pegs in square holes again tomorrow, as we have grown used to in the last ten years or so.
Yeah, but that's what friendlies are for...
He has to experiment given it's probably 10 months until the next meaningful game. Hoping for a result, even a bore draw tomorrow and a few more along the way before next autumn. Against first and second seeds, it's our only way of getting a result away from home?
Not convinced he'll change it that much (to start off with anyways). Forde we know will start. Possible other changes would be in the backline as 3 defenders still in the squad weren't used Friday night. Ward's starting position in the team is most at risk imo.
Is there somebody in the squad any better than Ward at LB?
Maybe Kelly?
Left backs doesn't grow overnight in a laboratory
Would O'Brien have got a run if he'd been fit? Ward is pitiful. Surely we can do better than that?
Was thinking Robbie Keane could do a job at LB. Otherwise Wilson might be an option.
Wilson is not any better at LB, though he is a useful option.
