England V France

[rainman]

"Domino" in Suk. Soi 11 may be staying open "unofficially" past 2am to show England vs. France and some other games as well.

[rainman]

Just confirmed it, it will be "officially" open until 1am. You need to enter before 1am as they will close the doors at that time but the game England vs. France starts at 1:45am and you can stay, drink and eat until it finishes, around 3am.

[davethailand]

you can certainly watch it all in pattaya, (in a bar) not telling though

Hoping someone can help me !

I get into BKK on 13th June - the day of the big match (England v France), but before I decide which part of the country to head to I need to ensure i get to somewhere where the game is being shown.

The result is a foregone conclusion , France will beat england without any trouble .

The French players know the wrinkles as they play in england so they will have no trouble with the carthorse de englais ..

i predict the score France 3 - 1 England ....

[britmaveric]

2-1 England, France has a beating coming- bit obvious actually!

Thank you rainman, i'll see you there

[rainman]

Thank you rainman, i'll see you there

Oh yeah, you want to meet me for a drink or two ...now you all know where i'll be during the game! (And i think there's free soup, too ...insider tip).

Just a (paranoid) point , maybe it would be better to pm the name of any late/after hours drinking places to avoid a visit from the boys in brown.

So did we come to a conlusion?

Will the Euro 2004 Football Championships be shown with English commentary?

UBC, if they show it, will have English commentary.

Thai TV will have adverts and Thai commentary.

I'm hoping for UBC coverage of all the games.....Feeling fuzzy already.

I have recently found out some info. Two Thai channels will be showing all the matches (I think they are Channel 3 and 7). As for commercials, we will just have to wait and see. During the last World Cup, all the matches were commercial-free but before then, they had commercials during matches in all the major tournaments.

ESPN, for some reason, will be televising the matches in India only. I guess for UBC, the only hope is Supersport/Supersport Gold.

Regards,

Jem

[rainman]

As far as i know, Supersport Gold will be showing it..

[davethailand]

I imagine sales of replica England shirts will go through the roof over the next month in Thailand !

Loads of Thai girls drooling over Beckham, and Thaksin cheering on Owen and Gerrard - his potential new investments !!

13/6 England v France 1.45 am Thai time

Oops sorry,

I thought just for a moment this thread was about that game played by (and mostly watched by) gentlemen.

Then I realised that the real men from England will be in NZ meeting up with the AB's.

Now that will be a contest of "men" and not pussycats.

It is true though that one or two of these guys might have "different" preferences hence you see a few more of them kissing and cuddling on the pitch nowadays (not anything like the epidemic that you see in the round ball code )

Sorry, J-B-G, but the first rule of RFU is still 'No *** poofters!' (not even pommies are allowed to break this rule). And anyway, who'd want to kiss Martin Johnson (ret'd) or any of the front row of either side?
