Its probably too early and they aren't online yet...

It is supposed to be on sopcast channel 48606 (atdhe 1)?
I was watching the play off final on it earlier but it is off the air now but
I presume it will be back on for the Serb match, the play off match kept freezing at the end though.

Can't get any streams to work (as ususal) will have to make to with RTE radio broadcast

Is anyone having any joy watching this on sopcast? I'm trying to watch it on that program via http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com (because I can't work out how to ask for channels manually...) but it's telling me the channel is offline when I try to connect. Very annoying after waiting up til 3am here in China... should be used to it at this stage tho, free internet football is great when it works, but it usually doesn't

Its a piece of **** stream, you'll be lucky to get it to buffer past 20

Duff sounds like he is doing very well out there.... and our full backs. Keane has had a shot cleared off the line but Serbia "sound" dangerous... lol.

He's quick, decisive in the tackle, got a great positional sense, okay in the air and generally punches above his weight (a bit like McShane) but I still don't know if he has what it takes to make it in the premiership and ultimately at international level. At 23 he needs to move to a bigger club than Preston before he truly deserves a chance at international level. McShane is still only 22 and still has a lot to learn. But he does have international and premiership experience. Granted it has been a season to forget for the player.....I still see enough in him to give him another chance at this level.....his confidence is at an all time low and back-to-back international games allied with a solid pre-season could work wonders for him....u never know. I think Traps got this selection right but i'm disappointed with Miller in midfield. Gotta be Garvan/McPhail.

My ranking of current Irish centre halves
1.Dunne 2.O'Shea 3. O'Brien (fingers crossed) 4.McShane 5.St. Ledger 6.O'Dea 7.Paddy McCarthy 8. Delaney 9.Bruce 10.Kilbane????

Let's contrast this list with: 1.McGrath 2.O'Leary 3.Moran 4 Lawrenson 5.Mick McCarthy 6.Staunton

Really shows how exposed we are if a couple of our centre backs pick up an injury

Good Post, I'd go with 1.Dunne 2.O'Shea 3.St Ledger 4.O'Brien 5.McCarthy 6. O'Dea 7.McShane 8.Bruce.

I feel that when St Ledger does make the step up to the Premiership, which he clearly has the ability to do so, he will go on and do well.

He's maturing into a top class player and the key to that is playing regular 1st team games, better to do that in the Championship at the moment than being on the bench for a Premiership team.

Preston fans are calling him the new "Mark Lawrenson" so they must be impressed by him.

I think his style of play would suit Trapps as he is very quick, reads the game well and brings the ball out like Italian defenders do, this is why he would be an ideal CB partner for Dunne.

Brilliant. Thanks

Thank you tricky_colour!! Watching now. Thanks for the link worm, but I've never been able to get anything from sopcast except via livefooty, my own ignorance at fault I'm sure. Wait, wtf, justin.tv just skipped to a scottish league game! No, back now. That was odd. Half-time, going to try + get the other to compare. Except I've just heard my half-time analysis is going to come from Babb - can't miss this!
