F.a. Cup This Weekend

[SamuiMole]

I am hearing rumours that once again there will be no transmission of the FA Cup on either Truevision , Supersport South Africa or Thai TV this weekend.

Can anyone confirm this and / or name any bars that have an alternative system in the Bangrak / Chaweng area that will show the games.

With Man Utd V Spurs on Saturday & Liverpool V Everton on Sunday I think its crazy that a country supposedly so mad about English football havent been able to secure the rights to this competition.

Here's hoping ...........

I think Premier Sports Bar in Bangrak has 5 different TV systems sat/cable/internet so they might be showing it. Drop by and ask for Ian or John.

No, I'm not involved with the place, other than drinking there 2-3 times/week.

Drove past Tropical Murphy's this morning and they have it advertised. If it's not being shown on the systems you mentioned it must be on Astro, which Murphy's have.

By the way, does anyone know a bar in Mae Nam that has Astro.

[Lite Beer]

It is now on ESPN and Star Sports. on True Visions.

It is on ESPN or Star Sports everywhere in asia but not Thailand. You need to find a bar that can receive Malaysian transmittions. PFC didn't have it for the last round but said they will have it for the next round. Tropical Murphys and the Viking Bar on Green Mango street have it.

[koheesti]

... the Viking Bar on Green Mango street have it.

I thought Viking moved to Choeng Mon long ago?

100% on in Thailand..

People Power Rules on this occasion..

It would appear that the FA or ESPN/STAR or both were telling porkies. After being promised that the 4th round will be shown in Thailand the plug has been pulled at the last minute.

Why does that not suprise me.

... the Viking Bar on Green Mango street have it.

They didn't move - just opened up an additional bar in Choeng Mon, so there are now 2.

I had a feeling this would happen so I checked out a few of the sports bars around Soi Green Mango last night and both The Islander & Black Jack confirmed they have ASTRO Malaysia and the games will be definately shown in there.

No broadcast

Newspaper section: Sports, Due to a last-minute hitch, ESPN Star Sports can't show the FA Cup fourth round this weekend.

Stuart Turner, the FA head of broadcast, earlier said he arranged for ESPN Star Sports to show live eight games.

But an ESPN Star Sports spokesman said yesterday: "Despite our best efforts, we regret that we are unable to broadcast the FA Cup matches this weekend.

"Last-minute complications have prevented us from going ahead."

It was actually scheduled to be on Espn/Star this weekend. It was pulled at the last minute under threat of legal action. So when I made my post trying to give correct information to help members I was correct.
