AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Was looking to see when it starts and it's this fucking month! Never ends does it? Anyway the eight teams in the first round are: seeded:The New Saints (Wales)Levadia Tallinn (Estonia)Pyunik (Armenia)FC Santa Coloma (Andorra) unseeded:Crusaders (Northern Ireland)B36 Tórshavn (Faroe Islands)Lincoln Red Imps (Gibraltar)Folgore (San Marino) With a lucky draw there could be five British(ish) teams in the second qualifying round. Draw on the 22nd and first leg on 30th June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Mon the Lincoln Red Imps. Tyrion Lannister has been banging them in this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Wonder when BT will announce their new increased charges? Its surely coming... Will they ask their current broadband customers to start paying for BT Sport? £900million in the CL is some investment to re-coup eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Not believing that San Marino is capable of sustaining a football league, I looked up "Folgore" Not a very good start.

Funnily enough this perk ends next month, I got a letter last week saying so. This is a massive gamble by them, hoping the increase in subscriptions for those wanting to watch the CL will be a winner for them. I have grave doubts about this and can envisage another Setanta/ITV Digital crash and burn scenario with SKY getting the rights back in a year or two for a relative pittance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Apparently the Andorrans beat an Armenian team and went through on away goals last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Not believing that San Marino is capable of sustaining a football league, I looked up "Folgore" Not a very good start. Ended up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campionato_Sammarinese_di_Calcio It's just an amateur league, there's a club from San Marino which plays in the Italian leagues. They just got relegated from the third tier this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sky will be utterly beeling about this. The way they're trying to act as if nothing has happened and the desperate attempt to promote the EPL even more than usual on Facebook and Twitter is hilarious.

Venti Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If you pay/subscribe to BT sport or free for everyone? According to BBC Sport "It will make some matches available for everyone to watch, whether a subscriber or not, via a new free-to-air channel called BT Sport Showcase."

7-2 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 BT's Mourinho radio and tv ads are already more boring and tedious than Barclay's Shearer ads. That takes some doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This is a pain in the arse for Sky subscribers like me - £20 extra now unless I move to BT I think. And Neville, Souness, Stelling etc replaced by Jake Humphrey, Gary Lineker and Steven Gerrard <<< seething Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 According to BBC Sport "It will make some matches available for everyone to watch, whether a subscriber or not, via a new free-to-air channel called BT Sport Showcase." They're making around a dozen CL and EL matches available on that Showcase channel. Get the feeling they'll not be putting the most high profile matches on there every week.
