Setanta

Post by Beermat »

Yikes! Brighton and Hove Albion are on TV this afternoon -- a very rare event. Anyone know decent pubs in Toronto with Setanta access? Fortunately I don't think there's a lot of competition on Tuesday afternoon, mostly poker and fishing. Some might argue those are still more interesting than Brighton at Woking, but still...

Scallywags will be showing it; they may even put the sound on for you if Jeff or Rick are working.

Not too sure if Betty's has Setanta.

Thanks, Sid. I wound up going to the Rovers Bar on Bloor Street as it was close to home. I was able to down some Leffes at my booth while watching the game, such as it was, on my own TV screen. I looked up at one point and saw two guys actually watching poker at the bar. Garthicus pointed out that Ceili Cottage has Setanta, but by then it would have been tough to get there in time. A bit pathetic that it took my lot 3 1/2 hours plus penalty kicks to get past Woking FC, but that's the magic of the Cup for you.

Your next round game will also definitely be on TV too, FC United of Manchester. They are the darlings of the Cup at the moment.

Apparently not. They've already picked the TV games for the second round, though if we go to another replay who knows?
