US Tour matches on TV

**Paulie** · 04/05/2007, 2:02 PM

As the title of the thread suggests the Bolivia game is live on Sky Sports on May 26th. It says on the website 9pm but I don't know if that's the KO time or the time the programme starts. The Ecuador game the previous Wednesday is live on RTE at around 1am so it's actually Thursday morning it's on here. With the Champion's League final on the same night I reckon I may just have to take the following day off.

Will the Ecuador one not be on British TV, then?

Cheers

Ecuador is at 1 (Irish Time, I think) on RTE
Bolivia is at 9 (Irish Time) on Sky

My advice for these matches is record them some how and fast foward to the best parts, because they will be few and far between with the type of quality (or lack thereof) we have in the squad

Also, if you are a Liverpool or Milan fan and your team has won, don't watch the Ecuador game till your happiness has subsided as it will likely drain all of it out of you

If I sound a tiny bit pessimistic, well, when this is what you've got you sort of have to be

Nicky Colgan - Barnsley
Wayne Henderson - Preston North End
Colin Doyle - Birmingham City
Stephen Kelly - Birmingham City
Alex Bruce - Ipswich Town
Joseph O'Cearuill - Arsenal
Stephen O’Halloran - Aston Villa
John O'Shea - Manchester United
Kevin Kilbane - Wigan Athletic
Darren Potter - Wolves
Joe Gamble - Cork City
Stephen Hunt - Reading
Stephen Gleeson - Wolves
Alan O'Brien - Newcastle United
Kevin Doyle - Reading
Shane Long - Reading
Daryl Murphy - Sunderland
Anthony Stokes - Sunderland
Andrew Keogh – Wolves
Alan Bennett – Reading
Peter Murphy – Carlisle United.

I'm actually looking forward to it more than I would be if it was a fully fit squad , will be interesting to see how what is in effect a "B" squad get on.

B might be a bit generous

Definitely is a better squad than the last B squad anyway.

Perhaps, but Staunton's squads (and I believe he was in charge of picking the B squad as well) aren't exactly up to par with the rest of the world. I think if we have our strongest A squad and then picked a B squad out of the remaining players, some (if not many) of the players in the current squad would not be on it.

You arent taking into account the many injuries/ no-shows though.

No, I am, but without the injuries this is a B-/C+ squad

Just read that O'SHEA will not be traveling as he is out with a back problem , no doubt Sir Alex wants him to make the tea at the training ground or something as important like that .

I can't find a US channel that's showing either game.

Whereas the sentence should read:

"While travelling to the training ground, Alex Ferguson, while sipping some tea, stated that there was no doubt he had a problem at the back - and it was John O'Shea".
