Lads:
Keep in mind that the KO on Sunday is unusally early -- 8h30 Eastern (13h30 GMT). Setanta is carrying it live.

FYI for those of you using P2P to watch the match tomorrow...
Currently I have only found streams using either SopCast or TV Ants. I daresay y'all have TV Ants, but maybe you don't have SopCast. Also, TV Ants has recently "updated" its software, and if you don't have the updated version after a certain date, then the software won't work at all. Silly nuisance, but whatever. So, you may want to check your version of TV Ants today -- rather than at KO -- to see if you need to go through the bother of upgrading. It only took about two minutes...

Who the hell is Derby??? Not a question I *often* ask myself, but there it is!
"Derby County Football Club, who were FA Cup winners in 1946, Football League champions in 1972 and again in 1975, and are currently members of the Premier League, having been promoted as Football League Championship playoff winners in 2006-07. They have played at Pride Park stadium since 1997, having previously based at the Baseball Ground."
I know this isn't politically correct, but can you imagine any of our sports teams playing in a place called "Pride Park"??? :p
"Derby (pronounced "dar-bee") is a city in the East Midlands of England. It lies on the banks of the River Derwent and is surrounded by the shire county of Derbyshire. In the 2001 census the population of the borough was 233,700, whilst that of the Derby Urban Area was 229,407. Measured by Urban Area, Derby is the 18th largest settlement in England."

Derby were also the team the Rovers beat over two legs in 1992 to get to the Wembley play-off final to meet Leicester City whom we beat 1-0 to gain promotion to the Premier League the first time round.
I hated going to the old ground "the Baseball Ground" as a visiting fan, you had to "run the gauntlet" to get into the visiting fans area by crossing a narrow bridge very close to the home fans, they used to scream abuse at you and throw missiles.It was a very small, pokey ground with away fans squashed into a very small area.
I've not been to the Pride Park ground but I believe Pride Park is also a large shopping area, simlilar to the Reebok in Bolton.

Ah yes - back in the day when 'pride' was the noun form of the adjective 'proud' and didn't have any other connotations.....not that there's anything wrong with that....

@9 Mokoena gets treatment for an errant bicycle-kick to the head from Derby.

@15 Emo goes down in the box and no decision for us. Granted Emo didn't look like he was going to score...

I meant "out" as in here at BigSoccer on an early Sunday morning, not "out" as in "OUT".
Good grief: I'll just stop now.
I am guessing you are hooked up for streams???

@19 Betns is on touchline, crosses it to Rocky, Rocky shoots it in, ref blows his whistle, goal is off-side. *sigh* It's too early in the morning for disappointment.

Benni offside three times in the last 90 seconds....

@26 Oakley (Derby) scores. No defenders. Clear path to the net. Brad could do nothing. Up to this point, this was there *only* real scoring opportunity and they got it.

Agreed. Benni a real liability today with his offsides :mad: . I wonder if Foxhill still has a working remote control :(

@31 Butts runs into Nelsen. Butts fall downs on the ground. Nelsen tells official it was a dive. Ref shrugs and gives Nelsen a yellow card.

Can it really be this bad already?

That looked a bit divish on that penalty. Again, Nelsen.
