yes but its bbc2 wales, so yeah they are going to be biased towards any of the welsh team.

Aye, your right. I'm not saying that it's wrong though. I'm saying that it's laughable sometimes. I do like the Welsh commentator who does most of the internationals though, I think he's quite good.

 

[loratadine]

eddie butler?

 

[Black-Monday]

Noooo, that is guy who presents..... what an idiot. Doesn't even sound welsh, the only bit i usually like is the accent.

Just for talking up so many kickers that fail.

yes but gunners i son bout the guy who commentates the welsh games during internationals, and thats either jd or butler.

 

[Black-Monday]

Jonathan Davies isn't a bad commentator, as he is quite a different sort of commentator who is one of the only welsh commentators who doesn't think the sun shines out of the **** of the national team. He also is a better version of Brian Moore who picks the negatives out too much.

im looking forward to the blues game tommorow, theyve looked pretty descent rescently, and a bp win over the borders at home tomoz would put them in with a descent chance of having a late serge into the top 3.

Eddie Butler, that's his name!

It was only a couple of weeks ago, when the blues were getting slagged off. Now they are playing well and so is Mike Phillips pulling the strings.

Also Jonah is back tomorrow, and It will be a first for me seeing him live. Although it is on S4C, so I won't understand a word of it. I guess there are no english subtitles? As it seems to ostresize non welsh speaking welsh people.

[loratadine]

there will be subs.

 

[Black-Monday]

Thank god for that, I watched the HEC highlights and the only thing I could understand were the player's names. Even the team name I couldn't understand. So there are subtitles on the commentry?

BM

 

[loratadine]

im 99 percent sure there is.

it should be a good game with the blues playing some descent rugby.

 

[Black-Monday]

Do I just access them through the Sky help button or this for terrestrial?

BM

 

[loratadine]

not sure, i think you can access it via sky, i believe if you press the t.v button then txt, itll take you to the terresrial type text, when there press 888.

they usually give you instructions before the game.

 

[Black-Monday]

Better not be welsh instructions, I really want to watch this game with the sound on and an inkling to what is happening.

[PeeJay]

I've never seen subtitles on S4C, but yeah, if you use the Transl888 function, that should work.

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

Except the subtitles will be about half an hour behind!
At least I don't need them! :lol:

Important win for Connacht over the Dragons today closing the gap in the fight for the playoff spot, wouldn't rule the Scarlets out of the scrap for that spot either with them only being a few points ahead of the Dragons with a couple of derbies to come and a home fixture to Ulster, not beyond the realm of possibilities that they could be caught, Connacht with 3 home fixtures left still have a decent chance while Glasgow seem to be in a real lull in form at the moment and look like losing to Ulster as well.

 

[loratadine]

the blues beat the borders 46-11 today

jonah lomu got taken off injured near the end, i hope its not serious as he looked in good form, making some good rungs, he seems alot leaner than he did back in december

 

[Black-Monday]

God that was a good match, but they should offer english commentry on interactive though. Surely some people in wales can't understand it, Dai Young certainly can't.

[loratadine]

ha ha ha, hopefully the blues can make a serge to challenge for the ***le in the last week.
