AndyD Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Unfortunately I can't be there tonight but have been to a 9 or 10 games this season including Pompey twice so I'll be feeling the tension too.On my return from work, I'll be putting my 3 year old girl to bed (hopefully by 7.30pm) as the Mrs is away at Zumba and then I'll be straight to the garage (drinking den) armed with 4 beers, 10 malborough lights and my digital radio. That's my evening planned, just thought it'd be interesting to hear from the fellow radio/saints player listeners? I'm going for 1-3 saints and a West Ham 2-0 win.
SanFranciscoSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I am at work when the game is being played, so I remote in to my home PC, record the live stream on Saints Player as an MP3, then when both myself and my wife get home from work, we have dinner then play the game. Yes we both jump out of our seats, swear at the ref, curse at Merrington whenever he says a dumb ass comment, and generally have all the highs and lows that everyone else does during a game. The fact I am now an hour north of San Francisco makes no difference at all. My wife (who comes from here), cried after the Reading game (which we watched on tv), and it killed our weekend (as it awlways does if the result does not go our way). Several thousand miles makes no difference to how a lifelong Saints fan (I am now 51) reacts to a game. COYR!!!!
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 (edited) I shall be in my study and if it's as cold as yesterday I'll be sitting in front of a big log fire. Snowed again last night,only 10 days ago everybody was in their summer clothes already. Global warming.. my ass. Anyway I shall probably have just the one tinny of Carrefour's finest because I start work pretty early every day, 'bout 4.30 am UK time. Edited 17 April, 2012 by Window Cleaner

Haven't talked her into dressing up as a slutty nun whilst you're both listening yet then Think only DP has managed that so far.
Raging Bull Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Like you Andy I'll be putting mini me to bed then intend to have an epic work out. Unlike you I won't be smoking & drinking, tut tut tut!!
Raging Bull Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Haven't talked her into dressing up as a slutty nun whilst you're both listening yet then Think only DP has managed that so far. Won't believe this unless I see the evidence!

Pretty much the same but without the fags and booze (more like coffee and biscuts:blush:)

OttawaSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Will tune in from work, but then I will have to go pick up he kids from school and miss the last 20-25 minutes. I hate the tension as I run into the house and look at the laptop screen for the moment of truth. Last week it was...3-1 WTF!?!?!?! Was hoping we'd have gone on from equalising to win the damn game....very nervous for tonight....
Surrey Saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 At work 6 - 8.30 pm, no radio, no internet. Drive home listening to Radio 5Live Extra (thank the Lord for in car DAB radios), switching now and again to Radio London to pick up the WHU score. Hoping Saints are 0-4 up* by half time so I won't cause a road rage/elation incident if/when Posh/Saints score 2nd half. *A man can dream.
Jack Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I'm stuck in Devon working nights, re-wiring a school. I shall be using the school wifi to listen to 5live extra through my phone, and get regular score updates. Got a West Ham fan and a Bristol City fan so I'm expecting a lot of shouting and excitement.
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I shall cope by not looking until it's all over. I'm a big Jessie where away games are concerned.

trousers Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I'm not sure I can bear the thought of tuning in tonight.... (yes, I know....I'm a wimp)
Dig Dig Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Be on a conference call 9-10 this evening so won't be able to listen to the game so will have to settle for live txt updates.....booooooo
ericofarabia Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Mornings tomorrow so it means no beer tonight and not much sleep, although luckily I've got a late start .... I hate listening sober. My nerves will need us to be at least 4 up after 20 mins and not concede any goals at all!!
SouthportSaint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I will be listening to Saints Player in Southport. If Saints are winning with twenty minutes to go I will switch off and pace around until I'm certain its over. Then I take a deep breath and switch on for the score!
hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Why can't I 'listen live' to Solent sport online?
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Why can't I 'listen live' to Solent sport online? Football league regulations concerning live broadcasting no doubt.
hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Football league regulations concerning live broadcasting no doubt. But if I had a radio I could listen. I don;t get it. Anyone know of a 'back door' method. I can't cope with Sky's Score Centre and messages from mates at the ground are about 10 minutes out of date. When we moved down here I planned to go to quite a few away but the ****ers who promised me plenty of work, leading to a pay rise and ft contract have renaged. We'll be fine but penny's to rub together have been needed for other luxuries like burger puffs and beer recently.
slickmick Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Just another game, no big deal. Certainly wont follow on this site, to may drama queens.

We'll be fine but penny's to rub together have been needed for other luxuries like burger puffs and beer recently. But if everybody could just listen to games on the radio online they couldn't make us pay up for the player network now could they.Guess it brings in a bit of revenue for the clubs especially from those of us who don't live locally and can't get FM reception . At the end of the day it's about money, if you live in the local radio's reception area you can listen for free, if you don't you can't.Simple as that. Can't you get an old tranny to listen with, everyone has a beat up old thing somewhere or an old car radio and a 12 volt battery?
Micky Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Behind the sofa - somebody please prod me when it's safe to come out......
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Behind the sofa - somebody please prod me when it's safe to come out...... under the table is better,with some old curtains attached with drawing pins to make a shelter that would resist even a nuclear blast.
bally37 Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Be at work in Toronto, Canada, listening live on headphones while "at work" in the office. My colleagues will know when we score. Unfortunately working with West Ham & Pompey supporters.

Can't you get an old tranny to listen with, everyone has a beat up old thing somewhere or an old car radio and a 12 volt battery? I'm in Kent now. I'll live but do think that it's unfair and a restriction that is contrary to my human rights.
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I'm in Kent now. I'll live but do think that it's unfair and a restriction that is contrary to my human rights. well we all listen on player and the match thread keeps ya pretty much up to date as it happens. Some with a player lag even get news of the incidents before player tells them they've happened.
obelisk Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 At home in Reading with the radio off. I can't stand radio commentaries 'cos they always sound as if Saints are under the cosh. Will lurk on this board and try to keep calm.
syd_barrett_saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I'll be listening at home in Buenos Aires, on SaintsPlayer, as usual. Went to a bar to see the Reading game stream on a big screen on Friday with another Saints fan here (posts as Rojiblanco) which was a nice change, but won't go back there now as I'm already convinced the bar is bad luck. Will have to find another venue for Middlesbrough on TV at the weekend...

Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Not sure that will help hmm the Madcap Laughs !!!! Careful with that Axe Eugene.:smug: oops thought it was Syd barrett Saint, hence the references.
Clapham Saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Just another game, no big deal. Certainly wont follow on this site, to may drama queens. That's what makes it more fun!! I shall be listening to Saints player and following on here. The fact that everyone else is brinking themselves too just adds to the occasion.
hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Scratch that, just tried my old log in and it still works. GTFI They better not have taken the money from my account though, I shall check.
rog Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Against my better judgement and due to some really positive comments I'm going to embrace it fully follow skysports and keep updating the bbc championship page on iPad and enjoy the ride! At least we're looking up not staring into Div 1 abyss...
hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Scratch that. Account still 'active' but to view/listen to content the swines want more moey from me. Forget it Nicola, that's a cortese tax too far for me sunshine.
S-Clarke Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I'll be here, posting your usual heat of the moment comments when someone misplaces a pass . Solent on via my Pure radio in the background, cranked up loud. It's going to be an exciting night, we might fight ourselves in exactly the same position or we might find ourselves all but promoted. Belive!
Ludwig Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 They're broadcasting our game on 5live, so there should be audio streams available for those without Saints Player. Fwiw, I'll be in a university library, 'working'.
latter day saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 i will be sat on the bed with my laptop & headphones in, listening to DM spouting gooble-de-gook. WHEN Saints score no doubt i will holler loudly & scare the cat sh*tless thus putting me in gf's bad books again

Fwiw, I'll be in a university library, 'working'. You beauty, thanks Ludwig. It's on the 5live EXTRA site though: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5livesportsextra/commentaries/ The main site,5live, has the Reading vs Forest match: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5livesportsextra/commentaries/ It appears that they kick off 15 minutes after us, I like to think that this will inspire the players to put extra pressure on Reading knowing that we are back on top and hopefully they will crumble like a pile if Jenga blocks.
Capel Saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 i will be sat on the bed with my laptop & headphones in, listening to DM spouting gooble-de-gook. WHEN Saints score no doubt i will holler loudly & scare the cat sh*tless thus putting me in gf's bad books again Would suggest you put the cat out first thus avoiding gf's wrath!
saint-luco Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 t.v will have 5 live sportsxtra on and will be on saintsweb hopeing for bouncing boobies and naughty nuns not too worriedabout the game, i just think back 4 years and remember howupset i was then
latter day saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 Would suggest you put the cat out first thus avoiding gf's wrath! the cat is downstairs! i shout that loudly she still freaks out
Doctoroncall Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 I'm at work in South San Francisco, so will rely on the forum for updates unless I can somehow get Saints Player to work in the office (may get a visit from the IT folks though)! COYRs!!!!
Capel Saint Posted 17 April, 2012 Posted 17 April, 2012 the cat is downstairs! i shout that loudly she still freaks out Perhaps you should put the gf out then!! ;-)
