Aston Villa vs Parma Pre-Season Friendly

[Clampy]

I wish those Parma fans (who all sound female) would shut the fuck up, they're even more annoying than Woodward.

I was wondering what that cheerleader type squealing was.

Yes, and my picture is crap as well.

First game I've watched on AVTV for a while. Picture quality is pretty rubbish.

It is indeed and the sound keeps fading out.

I know it's a club in-house facility so it will never be hugely slick, but it is frequently a bit crap that way. That one Houston had that showed our match against them was miles better.

US sport does a great job with on line coverage. However, they're geared up for it because all games are available online if you have the correct subscription.

The Premier League are still in the dark ages as far as on line coverage goes.

I think it's because if you watch a match online on Sky, it is Sky doign the presentation, whereas club level things like this are done by the clubs themselves.

Woodward is awful, but we're never going to get someone much better in a role like this - it probably pays peanuts and anyone with much about them will have a better job. i do think that stuff like the feed quality should be much better.

I would have assumed they'd partner with someone like Premium TV to do this (who stream lots of sports to bookie websites) so should be clued up, but maybe it's just some bloke sat in the gantry with a 1990s camcorder.

That Acquah looks a bit slow in the Parma midfield. It's like he's treading water.

I can't quite believe it is the case, but I have been really impressed with the Scottish Cafu Alan Hutton this preseason.

It's not the Parma fans, it's Leeg and Mr Shin!

[UK Redsox]

Free kicks have been crap so far

Why is AVTV stream utter crap, but other sources obviously using the same feed are perfect ?

which other sources?

I can't help thinking that somewhere in the UK, there is a balding, 29 year old Scotsman locked in a cellar, while some imposter calling himself Alan Hutton is currently collecting his wages and making a decent job of it so far.

I'm thinking of going downstairs and getting a beer at half time. There's something to look forward to.

Anyone else got exciting half time plans ahead?

[Exeter 77]

We got a bit undone by that diagonal ball between Senderos and Hutton.

[Goldie.7]

Think i'm gonna skip the second half the football is so poor watching is a waste of my time.

[UK Redsox]

Not often you hear 'Baker' and 'well timed challenge' in the same sentence.

I've got to braise some shin (not PWS) and put it in the slow cooker
