EURO 2008 - The Official Trek BBS Thread

[Defcon]

It was down here, too, but now it's back.

 

[Hermiod]

The BBC said it went down due to a local power failure. Knocked out coverage for the entire world. We got BBC Radio Five Live audio coverage over a blank screen for a while.

 

[Roger Wilco]

The refereeing is terrible again today. I don't think either one of the teams was favoured, but he missed several potentially critical decisions already...

 

[Hermiod]

It's gone again. Crusher Disciple has been busy today, first the BBS and now this.

 

[BigFoot]

Yeah, it's gone again. Quite annoying.

And yeah, the ref has been pretty lousy today.

 

[Hermiod]

2-1 - Klose!

 

[Defcon]

We now have the swiss feed with a small delay of a few seconds, just in time for the 2:1 for Germany. Good thing Rüstü (sp?) is the only goalie in this tournament worse than Lehmann.

 

[BigFoot]

Damn...

 

[Roger Wilco]

Hilarious goal. Turkey does it again.

 

[BigFoot]

2-2, hell yeah

Nicely done Lehmann.

 

[Defcon]

Damn, Lehmann is really fighting for the title of the worst goalie. By now I think both teams would be better off if they would play without goalies.

There are huge thunderstorms in Vienna at the moment; and apparently the international feed is routed centrally through Vienna - so everyone has trouble...

 

[Roger Wilco]

Bah, typical german massel again.

 

[Iasius]

3:2. Now I have picture, but no sound.

 

[BigFoot]

I'm glad I get the Austrian feed as well, 'cause ours is out again.

 

[Defcon]

3:2. Now I have picture, but no sound.

Not a big loss IMO, Bela Rethy is one of the worst commentators around, and that says a lot considering there's not one good commentator on both ARD or ZDF.

 

[BigFoot]

It's over... oh well.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Very undeserved, a terrible German team barely, and very luckily beats the brave Turks.

 

[Iasius]

Very undeserved, a terrible German team barely, and very luckily beats the brave Turks.

While I agree, I have to say that it's to a large part due to Turkey not converting their own chances. You don't win by creating chances alone.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Gary Lineker:
"Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win."

Oh well...

Now I have to root for Russia...
