Why do'nt teams stream there Carling Cup matches? wtf is this ****.

[ThaSaltCracka]

still early rounds, no one cares about it. Its a pretty unpopular cup tbh.

Although this round and the next one usually have a couple LOL results.

I figure the EPL teams would throw up a feed, I mean they are in the ****ing EPL and must have some sort of following both domestic and abroad.

You can always find streams of the games online. Setanta has the rights to them here in the US.

These games are weird though, because a lot of prem teams throw out their b teams, and the League/Championship teams really go at it. If a small team can some how get a game against a big side, especially away, its a big deal since they split the gate. Those games can be big money makers for them, especially if they have a small payroll.

It was 07/08 that Havant & Waterlooville made a deep run in the FA cup playing Liverpool away in the 4th round.. Havant & Waterlooville isn't a professional team either.

Legal reasons most likely. Someone like Sky or Setanta or someone else probably owns the distribution rights.

ugh, its really annoying rooting for Hull. Joze, why couldn't ya have gone somewhere else for PT

[Sti1gar]

I am enjoying this Gillete Carling Cup Special show its quite good. Now a lot of you UK guys are probably sick of these announcers and there little sayings and what not but I am eating it up.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Joze with a goal, sick! The Hull fans must be so happy to have him. A goal and an assist already for them.

Well, I suppose this is a brag but Im taking my youngest son on thursday. Its his first ever game. He's 5. He doesnt like football or sitting still but he does like trains. I may be a little stressed out if it goes to penalties
