QPR v. Fulham

Excited for this one as we'll get to see Cook play, I'm guessing. COYW!!

 

I'm leaving for the ground in an hour and a half. Buzzing already...COYW's

Any news on Gentleman Jim and his commentary?

 

I will attempt to be in the online chattroom today. Anyone with the means to update us with the action and happenings of the match would be much appreciated.

Come On You Whites!!!

 

I do not think Jim will be calling the game today. I would expect his matchday commentary to begin next Sunday at the Emirates against Arsenal.

 

Predictions on today's starting XI? Think it'll be a preview of next week at Emirates?

Niemi
Baird Hughes Bocanegra Konchesky
Smertin Diop Davis
Dempsey
Kamara McBride

 

My guess for today:

------------------Niemi--------------------------
-Baird---Hughes--Bocanegra--Konchesky---
-Davies----Diop----Smertin----Davis--------
------Healy------------------McBride-----------

I read that Cook is still not ready for a full 90 but that he would likely come in as a sub. I also think that while the pairing of Smertin with Diop might not be the best combination as well as the pairing of Healy with McBride, but I think Lawrie will use this last preseason match to gauge how these pairings might or might not work.

 

I'm planning on watching the game via sopcast, so I may be able to provide updates in the chatroom.

 

I would like to see:

Niemi
Rosenior Hughes Boca Konchesky
Davies Smertin Davis Dempsey
Kamara McBride

Give Cook a run out in the second half. The thing that excites me is the fact that just about anyone in that lineup could be swapped out without much of a dropoff in quality. Niemi is the glaring exception to that statement. We need a backup GK. If Niemi falls on his head again, we will be in deep trouble.

 

What's sopcast? I'm eager to watch this derby match.

 

It's on BBC London. Now, I don't know whether it will be blacked out in the Ststes, but you can try:

just google it. Also:

being a newbie, i'm just coming up to speed on everything. is there a Fulham internet radio site that carries the games online?

 

I downloaded the TVants program of that site for the Hong Kong games and it worked amazingly well. Near TV quality, no stoppages or buffering or any of that and I'm on a real weak connection. The program itself took 5 minutes to download and I was off! Great stuff. Can't wait to trash QPR!

 

gracias Don

 

Jorge, I just want to add to Don's info by saying that it is NOT free. You must subscribe to FulhamTV to have access to the matchday commentary as well as the other features the club offers through FulhamTV.

 

Just ducked into the chat - where is everyone?

 

I got the channel going via sopcast. The quality is awesome, using a Setanata feed in English. I won't be able to hang out here during the match but you better believe I'll have it up in the corner of my screen while working.

 

how much of a bandwidth hog is the Sopcast? if it is moderate to low - i may just have to download it at the office so i can watch while i'm "working"
