Barca is live on the OS

[Lees Alter Ego]

wheres the line ups?

[ruralblue]

Fucking rammed though - why do they care again? someone explain the significance.

Well its a big match for them, last time we played we stuffed them thanks to Trevor Sinclair.

I was there, natch.
But there's more to this than us pointlessly risking our start to the season for a bit of marketing - the Barca fans must have turned up for some reason? did someone say summat about El Presidente or summat before?

Isn't the game in honour of their president??

I hope they will use more than this one camera.

Fuck me my stream is shite, keeps freezing every minute. Anyone else having this problem?.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

It holds a lot of significance to the fans because Barcelona fans are the best in the world.

I remember a quote along the lines of "Catalonia is a country, and FC Barcelona is it's army".

The trophy is help annually in honour of the clubs founding ..person ..or something.

Not sure of the details but its basically a big deal. Which is why I hope we don't insult them by putting out a shit team.

Barca would have to be my favourite football team in Europe - top in loads of regards - but i'd Hughes rather insults them, by protecting our key men, than insult our fans by being substandard against Wolves.

Switch it to lower bandwith version. This happened on first game on OS for me and I switched and no problem since.

good luck

[LeanneIsABlue..x]

Looked like they were having trouble switching to different cameras before. Looks like it's sorted now =]

[Lionel]

I am watching a load of people clapping to queen and seeing paper aeroplanes being thrown, is this the football match?

[Slim]

There is about 3 players on the pitch having a kickaround.

I'd say its got a bit more history than the Thomas cook trophy
The Joan Gamper Trophy (Catalan: Torneig Joan Gamper) is an annual pre-season football competition hosted by FC Barcelona. It is named in honour of Joan Gamper, a founding member, player, and later president of the club and was inaugurated by Enric Llaudet, one of Gamper’s successors as club president. It is one of several summer trophies played for in Spain. Other similar competitions include the Trofeo Teresa Herrera, hosted by Deportivo de La Coruña and the Trofeo Ramón de Carranza, hosted by Cádiz CF. The hosts, FC Barcelona, have won the competition more than any other club. The trophy itself is made of 800 grams of silver over a 10-kilogram marble plinth, along with five micrometres of gold finishing.

[mr_nool]

GAH! I have to watch it with romanian commentary

[Dameerto]

Spanish TV - is the reason on our OS for the time being moved.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

Is there usually no commentary?
I'd have paid my own expenses to go over there, could've talked everyone back home through all this.
