is it possible to watch the match anywhere online. should be a good 1 to watch reckon it will be a close affair.
Still haven't been able to find online streaming. As mentioned before, the word from Argentina is that ESPN are filming the games but the website with ESPN Andina's tv schedule has not any mention of hockey on it. If anyone has any other updates, let me know.
Does anyone else think the Leinster League is a joke? The number of postponements during a season is absolutely ridiculous!!!
Having league games on Jan 2nd is a bit much. Can't see the standard of these games being too high unless clubs decide not to take a Christmas break at all. Just an opinion.
Good luck to Ireland tonight, it should be a tight one.
no the league isn't a joke, it was just badly organised this year.
The demands on players now are incredible.
I believe a different poster stated there will be chaos if Ireland qualify for the world cup. I hope they do qualify, but what will happen with all the games.....
Think Monkstown, TRR and Pemb should be applauded though for bringing games forward to help ease what is a potential problem. The div one round-up has a few more thoguhts on this stuff to 2.57
Playing on 2 nd january is a total joke as there is no real break for players this season . It would be better to arrange a midweek game later in season .Were is the duty of care to players from the branch. I feel a claim coming on !!! ouch
If teams want to load up with Irish Internationals then so be it, but dont give them another leg up by postponing their games when the National Team plays. Might encourage teams to promote some youth into the team rather than recruiting from the struggling clubs and overseas.
The league is predictable before the season kicks off each year. Who seriously would want to play in a league that realistically has only 2-3 (at a stretch) teams who have a chance of winning each season?
I didn't realise league games start back up as soon as Jan 2nd, I would expect it for premier league football, not Div 1 Leinster hockey. Must be another free slot somewhere, glad ym have it free.
Apparantly you can get the hockey games on espn 8, "the ocho"
Haha, revo looks a bit like turloch, cap and all!! so thats where he went!
