Barca is live on the OS

2 questions;

1 Without Messi, Ibrahimovic etc in their side, if we win, will it be a somewhat hollow victory ??

2 If we win, do we get a trophy ??

We're without Robinho and Adebayor.

My stream has been fucking brilliant in the high res too...has hardly had any stops at all!

Same here, only went blank once for a few seconds near the start.

GET IN BURNLEY HAHAHAHAHA

Don't fret, there gonna make an appearance now, thats for sure, even if it is a friendly

[Mr Miyagi]

We played well the major let down tonight has been our passing I think its been fucking shocking!

it's because we've not done much running off the ball - which is a fairly good plan i reckon.

Like I said before, we really have looked like the Wales team under Hughes.... 10 men behind the ball, everyone in positions, don't move, hope for a counter..... which worked I suppose, although f*cking boring to watch.

I suppose teams who feel inferior to big name opposition have been adopting those tactics for decades because managers feel it is an "effective" way of "getting the best out of the players at their disposal" when they have more "limited resources" than the opposition.

Brilliant for so many reasons.
Brilliant team we are playing.
Brilliant that it's a full house.
Brilliant that we are 1up at the half.
Brilliant the selection of players that Leslie has selected.
Brilliant how little space we are giving them.
Brilliant how disciplined our formation is.
Just Brilliant.

Barca are just a joy to watch. Their respect for posssession is outstanding whilst we are being a bit wasteful.

Miami Weiss must be overjoyed and he is working himself into the game too. Tevez is holding the ball up so well.

The standout for me is the Barca defenders and just how comfortable they are on the ball. Very noticable that Puyol was out of the line for our goal and he got dragged.

We aren't too far behind in the quality stakes against the Euro champions. Whoever came up with the idea of playing this match, just brilliant.

Brilliant!

This stream is fuclin unwatchable...stops every 20 secs, then works for about 30 then does that annoying catch up thing where you miss 10 seconds of play.

Good idea, shit execution...and no link on official site to the stream. All in, a bit amateurish.

You have to be in UK to watch the official website stream... sorry

I'm in the UK, Houston, Renfrewshire. I don't need to bother to look for other streams. Using official stream...and it's crap in both hi and lo res.

Running at just over 3mbps and monitor settings (not sure what you mean?) are fine on absolutely everything else so would expect it to be okay on this too.

Will try re-booting...but no idea why it's acting up when everyone elses seems okay.

Pirate - it should work ok- I am in Perth (as in Perth and Kinross not Perth Australia) and stream has been superb even on high res

[Somerset Blue]

Watching in low-def, not too bad, bit stop-start but ok.

Come on City, more of the same in the second half please...

this isn't a competitive fixture - the only conclusion you can actually draw from our shape etc. is that we don't want to be tired on saturday - the exact right approach.

Try right clicking on the stream, go to settings and increase the amount of buffering to 10Mb, Its the folder icon in the settings box.

Never a hollow victory away to Barca . . . and yes, we get a shinny


My stream of the game has been ace, not one glitch so far

Never hollow even if it was barca b team, and this off wiki about the trophy; The trophy itself is made of 800 grams of silver over a 10-kilogram marble plinth, along with five micrometres of gold finishing.

[Blue Jam]

Never thought I'd be watchign City beating Barca while Burnely beat the subhuman, baby murdering, monkey torturing, pensioner eating red scum.

[avoidconfusion]

My god Yaya Toure is bossing the midfield made Barry and Ireland look like little kids on one or two occasions.

Cheeky bid for him on deadline day anyone?

That'll look nice next to the Thomas Cook trophies.

We have Ireland, Petrov, Weiss and Tevez - who needs Robinho and Adebayor ??? :-)

If I ever meet you, or a member of your family, I will return the favour. beer and seabrooks most likely.
