Why would scottish football generate such a strong feeling? That's like saying you hate the little league team your neighbours kid plays for.

Setanta doesn't actually broadcast themselves.  They pick up the feed from other distributors and put it through their satelites so their picture depends (1) the source feed and (2) how it's converted.
 
 As for ESPN - they didn't buy the HD rights.  There was a rumor that the semi's and final were to be in HD, but it didn't happen.

At $15 a month, I predict Setanta will be in HD before FSC and this will all be fixed.

[godsshoeshine]

i would allow you to run it so this would happen
 
 i knew i didnt have time to watch all of the el ameripool match last night but i really wanted to check out some footie action in HD. i was crushed

i clicked on this thread once, saw it was about "football" and never clicked in again until now. but i'm going to london in a few weeks and got tickets to a fulham/derby county match while i'm there. anything i should know?

[godsshoeshine]

fulham has a shitload of americans

[Frank Gallagher]

Derby are shite, so Fulham will most likely win.
 
 I'm wondering if all the doodles in the Fulham squad is just coincidence or is there a larger plan to try to establish Fulham with the football watching American?? Pretty smart move if it is, because they aren't compromising in the quality of the players.
 
 America produces good players, your coaches leave a lot to be desired though.

fulham was the only team that i didn't have to be the member of, like, 4 different clubs to be able to purchase tickets. there were still a few hoops to jump through, but nothing too bad. the stadium looks pretty excellent.
