Title: Fox Sports Oz.......Luv it!
Post by: Desi on May 18, 2011, 10:12:32 AM: Fox Sports Aus. are running a poll during the week to let viewers choose which five games they want shown at the weekend (on multi-view).

No doubt they will show the four 'relegation' games plus one other.

Here 'on the other side of the world' we need everyone (wherever you live) to add their vote to the Villa v Liverpool option on this website.

Unfortunately we are falling back (Everton coming with a late run!) and it closes at 1pm Friday....that is 4am Friday UK time.

Thanks again guys.

Would this not be one of the 'four relegation games' they'll be showing anyway?

Post by: Desi on May 18, 2011, 03:33:25 PM: The highest polling match will be the Fox Sports main game with the other four games to be available as part of Fox Sports Viewers Choice via the red button

The odd thing, doing it that way, is that one of the four relgation games could miss out to Everton v Chelsea!

We are currently in the lead, well done and keep voting.

I'm not sure that it does. I've voted about 50 times in the last couple of hours and it seems to be going up. 15% now.
Title: Re: Apologies for a repeat, but more help needed!
Post by: Summers on May 18, 2011, 10:08:07 PM: Almost at 18%.

Post by: Jim Shoes on May 19, 2011, 03:28:54 AM: Hey wake up lads!! :-)

Hopefully the bindippers here are helping (that is if they have been able to pinch a computer and then find someone who can show them how to use it!) as there aren't enough of us Villans here in OZ to win without you're help. Am I being stereotypical? Maybe, not that it would matter as I have doubts any scouser could pronounce stereotypical without thinking about robbing a radio out of a car!!!

Anyone and everyone please vote before time runs out.

Desi, great work mate, starting this and keeping it going.

Title: Fox Sports Oz.......Luv it!
Post by: Desi on May 22, 2011, 05:02:13 PM: Just before KO the presenter said 'Time for our main game and it's over to Villa Park. Not OUR choice but yours!'

Mark Bosnich and Robbie Slater (virtually in unison) said 'That's the Liverpool fans at it'.

They know nothing!
Title: Fox Sports Oz.......Luv it!.....Part 2!
Post by: Desi on May 22, 2011, 06:16:33 PM: At the end of half-time the presenter said 'Now it's back to our main game...if that's what you can call it! Well, we won't be watching it'.

They were desperate to get back to watching 'the League Champions' versus
'the team that all other supporters want to stay up'. (Quote).

Thanks again, guys, especially for sticking it to Fox Sports, that'll teach 'em
to let the fans have a say!

Post by: baldryk on May 23, 2011, 05:25:15 AM: Actually, if it weren't for the Bolton ManCity game, it would've worked out well. Villa on HD so I could watch it later, 4 games live on screen via the red button. Blackpool, Bloos and Wolves there simultaneously; excellent in the last 15 minutes when it all started swinging into place. Wigan moved off to 513 - annoying since they were probably best placed to stick the boot into SHA.
Title: Re: Fox Sports Oz.......Luv it!
Post by: OzVilla on May 23, 2011, 05:30:38 AM: I've tried watching the multi screen of all the games before and it's just too confusing for my meagre brain to take in - last night's excitment might have been the exception though.

Still can't stop grinning like an idiot today ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Fox Sports Oz.......Luv it!
Post by: Jim Shoes on May 23, 2011, 06:24:03 AM: How good was it that for once we didn't have to sit through the wankfest of ManU?

People power and Fox Sports had asked for us to vote, they just never said you had to be in Australia.

Still can't stop singing "The city is ours, the city is ours, fuck off small heath the city is our" which would make sense if I still lived in Brum!

Although after proving Villa are the team most people want to watch in Australia I guess we could add "Australia is ours, Australia is ours, fuck off United Australia's ours"
