Aye, you always see that lad with the tattoo at games. I always thought it was Adam P's mate 'Rusty' (often in his match videos) for some reason, but definitely not.

The big Hacken vs TNS match is on S4C tomorrow at 6pm

Tonight's results: Urartu 0 Zrinjski Mostar 1 Lincoln Red Imps 1 Qarabag 2 Zalgaris 0 Struga 0 Hamrun Spartans 0 Maccabi Haifa 4 Olimpija Ljubljana 2 Valmiera 1 Rakow 1 Flora 0 Ballkani 2 Ludogorets Razgrad 0 Klaksvik 0 Ferencvaros 0 Partizani Tirana 1 BATE Borisov 1 Shamrock Rovers 0 Breidablik 1 Rovers have a lot to do following their home defeat. Great win for Ballkani of Kosovo, they were 7/2 to win on the night.

Shamrock were 4/6 pre match faves, but the Islanders are 1-0 up through a good free kick and deservedly so. 9-0 in corners, 70% possession, and Rovers are currently 10/1 in play.

Shamrock Rovers match is also on that Soccerone YT channel with English comms. I would have posted the link, but won't be legit.

If you type 'Lincoln Red Imps' into YouTube there's a stream under the channel Soccerone. Currently 1-0 up on Qarabag which is a bit of a surprise as the latter are regulars in various group stages.

Just posted on another forum so copying and pasting here. 10 First qualifying round matches tonight. All of them bar Olimpija and Shamrock matches have Bet365 streams: Urartu (ARM) vs Zrinjski Mostar (BIH) 4pm Lincoln Red Imps (GIB) vs Qarabag (AZE) 4.30pm Zalgaris (LTU) vs Struga (MKD) 5pm Hamrun Spartans (MLA) vs Maccabi Haifa (ISR) 7pm Olimpija Ljubljana (SVN) vs Valmiera (LVA) 7pm Rakow (POL) vs Flora (EST) 7pm Ballkani (KOS) vs Ludogorets Razgrad (BGR) 7.45pm Klaksvik (FRO) vs Ferencvaros (HUN) 7.45pm Partizani Tirana (ALB) vs BATE Borisov (BLR) 7.45pm Shamrock Rovers (IRL) vs Breidablik (ISL) 7.45pm

I signed up to Viaplay Sports before the Nations League a few weeks ago just to keep my football fix going at the time, plus a few Euro qualifiers on there as well. I noticed that they had picked up the Gold Cup rights so was vaguely interested until I saw the USA and Canada's team, don't really know many Mexico players anyway, but seemingly they have gone weak too, and I've not watched a match. Jamaica looked to have picked as strong as they can and a lot of familiar English football names involved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_national_football_team#Players Bell who was playing in the playoffs for Luton vs Sunderland, Pinnock of Brentford, Decordova-Reid, Antonio, Bailey of Villa, Demarai Gray, and many other lesser known UK based players as well. 12 of their players were born in Jamaica, the other 11 in England. I need to make sure to cancel it in the coming days, as don't want to pay another £15 for no reason.

It was a right faff on. I got the same as above when trying this morning about my age despite the D.O.B being set. In the end I had to reset my password and give my details to my brother and he eventually sorted it, but reckons he was on a couple of hours trying to buy 5 tickets - even had to set up an email address for a 7 year old FFS , but we've got 5 tickets in the East Stand, a 3 generations, looking forward to it.

I remember turning my nose up at the £20 last year for the friendlies, was surprised at the decent attendances, and couldn't get a sniff of a ticket for the rest of the season . Similar opposition this year. Think I'll be (hopefully) getting 3 adult tickets for the Sunday and a junior, £105 is pricey, but the last match I was at was the 0-0 vs Oxford under Bruce , so keen to go.

Hope this song catches on next season

Fowler's team finished 11th in the 2nd tier last season.

Gonna have two group repeats in the SFs - England vs Israel, Spain vs Ukraine. Surely a very good chance now for England - tournament has certainly opened up after this, Ukraine were over 5/1 to beat France.

I gave up on the idea of watching it on the big screen. App didn't work at all on my phone and if I watched it on the phone browser and tried to mirror to the TV, it would instantly switch off as soon as I set it to full screen. I do have two laptops so just watching on one of those and still have access to the other one, but it's not half as good. Obviously it available to pretty much everyone should they want to watch, which is never really a bad thing, but would have been much better personally if some TV channel got the rights.

Wow. France were 1-0 up when I last checked and assumed they would just cruise through, but now 2-1 Ukraine after 54 mins.

They'll be big favourites to get to the final given they have already beaten Israel 2-0 in the group stage. Not sure if would have been better for Newcastle for him to have lost today and be back with us a week sooner, or to potentially get 2 more games in and come back with more confidence, but now they are in the semi finals with a very winnable match it clearly will be better for him to hopefully go on and win it. France a goal up on Ukraine and look set to face Spain in the other semi final, and will still be the team to beat.

Poor lad. Forced out of Milan and then crashes out of a tournament at the group stage a few days later. Someone should check on his wellbeing.

Always cracks me up for some reason when the commentator say 'Bob'. Immature I know.

Na, Switzerland have scored 4 conceded 4 in the 3 way H2H, Italy scored 3 conceded 3, Norway scored 2 conceded 2, so Swiss going through on goals scored unless there is another goal in the Italy game. Swiss match pretty academic and irrelevant now.

Both teams need a goal so could well be a winner as both push on. Norway carried the ball back to the halfway line when they scored.

I assume he is on the bench today, defo not in the XI with them having already qualified. Comms said their back 4 was much changed from the 2 over games so assume must be wholesale changes, although that Chelsea lad with the headband starts again. Currently 2-0 up after 30 mins, Archer and Elliot with the goals. Italy haven't qualified yet so I assume Tonali will be starting their match at 7.45.

It's done know harm for their Instagram numbers. They officially unveiled him on either Friday or Saturday (with no fewer than 9 posts on it), Jude shared something as a story (with his 12.7m followers) and since then Sunderland have gained almost 20,000 new followers. For context, they'd only gained 60,000 new followers in the previous 13 months before that.

Already marked down April 13th in the diary pal.

It was on this site earlier https://www.live-footballontv.com/ It had both matches, one at 2pm and one at 8pm as a 'BT Sport Digital Exclusive'. I have Sky TV and subscribe to BT Sport and pay extra for the app and I literally spent about 15 minutes searching the app on my Firestick, laptop and mobile at 2pm but couldn't find it , so assumed it must have just been exclusive for BT TV subscribers, and not those that have access to it via Sky Sports, but neither match is now listed on that site, so they probably jumped the gun. I see the Icelandic champs are currently 3-1 up after 70 mins, and Podgorica won 3-0 earlier in the day, so looking like the expected two will be meeting in the preliminary final on Friday. I would actually like to see that match (winner faces Shamrock Rovers in Q1) but I'm at the arena watching the wrestling with my nephews that evening, ha.

Anyone wanting a football fix outside of the Euro U21's / Gold Cup, BT Sport digital are showing the crunch Champions League Preliminary matches today at 2pm and 8pm
