    I'm not sure how long they've had it, but I looked at the www.soccer.com website today and noticed the "LOOK FOR SOCCER ON TV!" section today on the lower left of the page.

    It reads: "Just enter your 5-digit Zip Code to get soccer-related television listings in your area!"

    I allows you to choose your provider, then shows the listings.

    It's powered by www.zap2it.com Seems like a cool little facility that might be a nice feature for this website as well.

    i know several other websites link to BigSoccer's message boards including soccer.com

    Perhaps BigSoccer could link to their listings. Some sort of exchange program.

    no. for one, i find their system very hard to navigate. second, you're scrolling halfway down the page to get to the listings. Third, you need to run a pub to get most of the channels he lists.


    Something with customizable channel listings would be sweet. People who don't get FSW espanol, for example, should be able to block that channel.

    I've been contemplating authoring a little CGI that will do a GET on the page and then filter it according to your preferences. I don't know if I'll get around to it this year. I don't plan on making it a widely-know thing, since Olly would bitch about it (and rightly so, I suppose), but if it's just for me and maybe a few friends then nobody gets hurt.

    Check in with me periodically and if it's done I'll let you know.

    Also, Oliver Tse is the anti-christ, from what I understand.

    he was banned years ago for excessive trolling against MLS and WUSA.

    his TV schedules are accurate but the rest of his stuff should be read something akin to the national enquirer ;)

    No, he an antichrist. amerifolklegend is the Antichrist. Get it right.

    I don't think his antics were ban-worthy, but that's just me. I think you could just as easily argue that he helped things.

    Even if he is a bit of a...nevermind. I'm not going to engage in a personal attack, even on a banned member.
