Who's watching?

Should be a cracker...

I'm going 3-2 to Real Madrid after extra time!

It will be interesting to see how Clattenburg manages 22 cheating bastards who'll be trying every trick in the book to gain an advantage.

He did so well in the FA Cup final, what could go wrong...   :D

So few fucks given.

Fair enough, I can't wait.

Love the Champions League!

On another note, Wednesday for the Championship playoffs!

Are Swindon in it? No ? Shan't be watching then.

Do not watch any other football?... Just out of interest..

This ... and anyway, I won't be watching.

Atletico were screwed over two years ago...and they'll probably be screwed over again. UEFA love Real/Barca winning it.

It's streaming free on YouTube tonight in case anyone didn't already know

....and Non-subscribers can watch Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid completely free of charge on TV on BT Sport Showcase, which is available on Freeview (channel 59) and Virgin (channel 548), while Sky customers will receive BT Sport Europe SD coverage on channels 414/433.

Cracking finish to make it 1-0 to Hull.

Sad that the worst of the lot seems to be a Welshman....

True that

Thank God Real are leading, if Athletic won I fear a Stuart Mac moment from Owen Hargreaves?

If there is nothing else on I might watch bits of other games. If Swindon are on I will be in front of the TV listening to all of the preamble and then glued to the TV until the end (and beyond).

Didn't watch the England game yesterday.
Watched 10 mins of the Championship playoff.
No interest whatsoever in foreign football.

If the goalkeeper tried to save it with his left hand instead of his right, he would've probably saved that, as he can reach out further.

Thanks, its a great free stream, I can even put up with the adverts.

I would just like to point out again that these millionaires should be ashamed of the pathetic play acting.  Just fucking embarrassing.

I'm watching the darts on Dave. No diving here.

If they show that muppet athletico kid in the crowd again. I'll break the tv and send Gary Lineker the bill

Lineker has gone from hero to twat in 16 years

Cramptastic!

Torres = passenger.

I don't usually watch CL, but am enjoying this. Well, it is not the X Factor...

Pepe is a real piece of dog shit

Fuck me ragged, I quite enjoyed that until all the crowd shots. You cry when your mum dies, anything else you have a drink.

I am happy to endorse and to be associated with both of the above comments... :nod:

That's fair enough, just wondered :-)

Yeah, I've never understood crying over football.

Thought Clattenburg reffed the game very well, not quite sure what the tongue action was all about though

Maybe aside from not playing one advantage and the Pepe yellow was borderline red, thought he did very well.

Could be a candidate for reffing the Euro 2016 final, assuming that England don't progress that far!

Should have booked bale for simulation.or did he eventually? (Only watched 1st half)

Haha I thought I was the only one who noticed it!!

Yeah he was superb.

I'd have pissed myself if Carrasco went and kissed Pepe's missus. What a total cunt that bloke is.

They should ban the twat, but they wont. spineless shits.

He's been doing it all season...and no-one has banned him.

I saw the pens this morning...2 of the Real pens would be disallowed in a few days time as they stopped in their run-up, because of a rule change. As from June 1st, not only would the goal be disallowed from the penalty, but a free-kick will be awarded to the opposition.

I wonder who will be the first person to fall for this in the Euros...

Probably one of our lot...

I thought the free streaming on youtube was excellent, don't care about the adverts, we've got to pay for it somehow. I can't remember anything similar, is this a precedent?

I think they did it for the Europa League final.

It's probably to lure people in to paying for BT Sport full stop. I have it anyway, I quite like it.

The only thing that's pretty tragic on it is Owen Hargreaves accent.

It was cracking quality, only buffered once for me too. I would definitely watch more football if they streamed free, no idea if it's commercially viable or not.

The UK Champions League viewing figures have dropped quite a bit since BT Sport bought the rights so I would expect YouTube streaming to become a regular thing as long as they've still got them.

BT Sport agreed with UEFA that both finals need to be free to air, and they don't want to give the rights to BBC/ITV, so they put them on You Tube and make their channel free to air for the game.

I read an article not so long ago suggesting that uefa were considering increasing the FTA coverage at next contract time for  that very reason.

oh wait, it was in the mail
