Surreal Tv Coverage

Missed two games now through the weather and illness. The lesson is, take any opportunity to go and see a live game when you can. It may be your last.

First off FC United v. Boston United (FA Trophy 3rd round), on Sunday last was cancelled with a waterlogged pitch. Drat, I was going to live blog this game and even booked the day off work. Double drat that's a holiday wasted at home. Re-scheduled for Wednesday, didn't go as the Biffa herself was ill. But enjoyed the surreal streaming internet coverage on the laptop. A webcam, on a monitor of the live camera recording the game was fed up to the web. Blurry, stream breaks-up and comedy commentary from FCUM-TV who cover the FC United play, and a guest supporter from Boston United as he knows the names of their team. This is gritty broadcasting, not the slick formula of modern telly. Lost 1-3, and attendance a mere 936.

Secondly I got ill and spent most of Thursday in bed asleep. The Biffa woke me up at 2200h to tell me the result of the United Youth v. Chelsea Youth game. Not good either, lost 2-3. But Danny Welbeck scored, she said, but it wasn't enough. Attendance 1,246.

Should be fit enough to watch the big derby game, away at the Council House this Sunday. Though personally I'm not optimistic about coming away with all three points. City are a good and very patchy side, but can raise their game especially against United.
