Ed's or anyone know a Good football streaming site other than FirstRow? They've put in a page which makes you have to turn off Adblock to access the site and I can't stand the constant adds popping up. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Wiziwig I've always used without a problem. Plenty of links of varying quality. Good for most other sports too.

Wiziwig is usually pretty decent from past experience mate.

NotIntheKnow

Thanks for the heads up about FirstRow. After reading your post I thought I better check too.
I had the same problem (I use Firefox). I've installed another browser extension Add-On (an anti-adblocker called Element hiding helper for AdBlock Pro 1.3) and I have it Firstrow working as before.

You need to block a piece of script called advertisement2.js and I can provide more details on what you will need to do if required. If the Eds are OK with this. Good luck

i use feed2all.eu usually comes through with the goods.

Just get Adblock for chrome and use wiziwig, best quality links from that site are usually cricfree or stadium-live

A few weeks back tried to use acestream link and looks like the have updated aceplayer and seems you'll need a 64bit operating system now.

I usually go to wiziwig and the stream I usually watch is by Bloodzeed, his AceStream videos are exceptional quality, but when using AceStream, you should buffer the video around 15 minutes before kick off as it's a slow buffer, but once it gets going, it's lag free. The only time you will get lag is if you load the stream as the game starts, that's when most people are loading it up.

I don't have any problem, watching first row with Adblock Plus, don't need to disable ads and still can watch game with firefox - just checked Arsenal Chelsea to make sure I can get the real stuff later.

{Ed033's Note - Coming to this site soon will be the ability to collect 'Profile Badges'.

Mouse over the example badges below, to see how you could collect them.

Love this idea. Harry and ems are going to collect them all!

I can't make it happen on my ipad?
Am I being a dim wit?

{Ed033's Note - Don't worry about it, it's just an example of what is coming to the site.

12 Sep 2014 18:28:29

{Ed033's Note - I'll create a separate page for people to read about the profile badges idea and how to collect them.

Prepare for an avalanche of posts eds, this will be interesting.

If your using a phone or ipad just click on them

12 Sep 2014 21:46:52
Ed I can't see where to go to find out? Or are you working on it? Anyway brilliant idea! I don't even know how to get them yet

{Ed007's Note - There's nowhere to go yet buddy, as soon as there is information available Ed033 will let you all know.}

Nice one Ed033. Whoever designed the badges should be given a medal. They are really nice.

Anyone notice how last season it was one game at a time from Rodgers & now after his 3rd press conference of the season he says he's picked the team or what he hopes would be the team for the next 5 games? Seems abit strange to me although you obviously have to plan in advance for champions league games

12 Sep 2014 17:07:36
You need to plan on how you're going to rotate your squad. Rogers did however say that you cannot plan for injuries etc. I'm also sure that if certain players impressed in training or on the pitch then they might be given chances elsewhere, Rogers is flexible. However, it's nice to know that they're being so meticulous.

12 Sep 2014 23:14:33
Rodgers didn't need to do that last season, because the squad was so thin most players knew they were playing.
He's trying to give the squad confidence by saying they'll all play a part, which he's required to do now because the squad is, frankly awesome and pretty big!

Robbie

lols. that's a good one. Let me know your place, I am flying there

The moon Harry, the moon. Will wait there for you

12 Sep 2014 15:31:11
Mate you need to move to Mars.You never know with Harry . Might just sneak onto one of the Sputniks ;-):-D
No offense

You could have said the the edge of the Observable Universe.

I would settle for the moon for the visit of Harry. May meet one of his kind there. We all think that there is only 1 Harry but you never know. The truth is out there.

12 Sep 2014 18:34:18
Robbie.

Here we go again. Book me a place there.

12 Sep 2014 10:46:39
Hey team, not football, but would be thankful for a little bit of help.

On wednesday I move to New Zealand for a year or so on a working, holiday visa! is there anyone living there? any LFC supporter groups? to be honest, any advice would be greatly appreicated!

Thanks, Nelly.

Alrite mate,

I went to NZ on a working holiday visa back in 2007 so I have some experience of the place. First off I can say that it's a phenomenal country, aesthetically beautiful but, more importantly, incredibly friendly people. If you have any problems there will always be people about who are happy to help - so worry not!

In terms of work you can do 3 months agricultural stuff and get a years extension to your visa (if that's what you want) or you can opt for trying to get a standard job in the city, bar work, barista and the like (though you will need licenses to do them - which are easily attainable).

In terms of agriculture work there are a number of hotspots, Napier on the North Island is especially good, apple picking, vineyard work, etcetera and it's a really chilled out place too. If you are going to stay in hostels (and I assume you are) then AquaLodge in Napier is amazing, chilled out vibe, very friendly people and and if you contact Tony, the owner, he can arrange work for you before you even arrive.

On the South Island there is Blenheim and Nelson, similar types of work to Napier and similarly beautiful. You could also go to Queenstown, the famous ski resort, and work there (that will count toward the agriculture quota - weird I know). As I say you can find normal work in most towns and cities, just be prepared to move around a bit to find it. And also talk to fellow backpackers, they'll have good info to share which will help you find work. Also bear in mind that a lot of the agricultural work is seasonal so just do a bit of research/make phone calls before heading off someone for work.

As for tourist stuff I couldn't really recommend one particular place as the entire country is phenomenal. In the far north of the north island its climate is tropical and also has the famous 90mile beach. There are tons of places to go in the North Island, all spectacularly beautiful in their own way. The only place I would recommend to avoid is Palmerston North: John Cleese once said of the place that "if you were looking to commit suicide but perhaps lacked the courage then pay it a visit" or something to that effect. All I can say is that it is flat, boring and with nothing worthwhile to see - but that is the only place in NZ I could say that about.

As for the South Island well its just one spectacular place after another. Your only real problem will be trying to find the time to see everything. It's honestly spectacular mate you'll have a superb time.

Just a few other notes:

- there is a thing called WOOFing, it basically means you live on someones property (usually farmland or something) and get free rent, food, etc in exchange for working on it. It's a cool experience and a different way to get a feel for the place and the people.
- A British Drivers licence is perfectly valid over there. If you are buying a used car though get either a mechanic or somebody good with cars to have a good look at any vehicle your thinking about buying: I saw a few people buy absolute bangers unawares so just get it checked properly before handing over cash.
- Maori's are sound, really friendly engaging people. Just don't play rugby with them - I made the mistake of having a game of 2v2 on a lunch break with me French mate and these two 16 year old maori's. They smashed us. Even a light tackle felt like being hit by a bus.

Apart from that mate enjoy yourself, it's an amazing experience and an amazing country. In terms of the footy you'll find, as long as it ain't too late, that it's on in most pubs. Plenty of hostels get the ssn equivalent as well and, unlike over here, they will have all the games televised, so getting to watch us should be no bother. I remember bragging to mates how good we were as a team (because at the time we were!). The first game we watched together was Liverpool vs Marseille at Anfield, my French mate happened to be a raving Marseille fan. And wouldn't you know it we played like dogs and lost 1-0 to a wonder goal from valbuena, fun times. Also watched us lose to Milan in the 2nd CL final as well. not the happiest of football memories! But a superb experience.

If you have any questions mate just reply on here and i'll keep checking and try to get back to you. Enjoy the travels la, I wish I was going back!

Robbie

Not sure the other side of the planet is far enough Harry. Lol
I'm messing have fun. Made me want to do some real travel after reading all that.

12 Sep 2014 15:43:50
When Harry met Maori? Yes, yes, yessssssss!!

You'll love it Harry, it's an astoundingly beautiful country. Good luck la.

Nelly
Seano was pretty accurate
I was born there with a Scouse father and Kiwi mother and still have family and friends in NZ
Happy to help out a fellow red
I can put you in touch with many good people to help you out.
If eds give you my email address, get in touch

12 Sep 2014 18:32:04
Seano, that's absolutely brilliant advice mate, thanks a lot, it's appreciated a lot more than you think

Arrow, thanks as well, more people I know the better, eds, could you pass it on please, or pass mine on? Thanks a lot

Nelly

{Ed033's Note - ok Nelly

12 Sep 2014 19:34:19
Mrs aaiiii and my good self are emigrating in November, there's a nz supporters club with a few branches! They organise venues to watch matches and all that.

I'm all over it like a fat bird on a bag of chips

12 Sep 2014 19:36:20
Arrow mate, forgot to reply to your email as have two job offers, one north island one south. Will mail you when we decide which one mate. Thanks for the mail

No worries mate, glad to help - enjoy your travels!

Allseeingaaiii
If given a choice I would go for the North Island.
Much warmer the further north you go.
South Island has beautiful scenery but quite a few of the locals in the small towns have eyes too close together and their parents are brother and sister.
If you've ever been to Wisbeech near Peterborough you'll know what I mean.

The North island for the liveability, culture and climate. The South for the holidays - unbelievable scenery and insane sports. You will have a ball.

Song for Adam Lallana to the tune of Beatles song Hey Jude

La la la lala lallana

Lalla lallana

Hey Adam!

One of the more plausible offerings!finish it off with his surname again.

Good work Eamon. .

Or what about
la la la la lallana sung la bamba

On reflection, I think it needs jigging a bit Eamon! same tune (the nananana bit)

La Lallana
La Lallana

HEY Adam. Lallana!

That will be my one and only (plagiarised) contribution to Kop songs. I'll get me coat!

12 Sep 2014 15:20:32
What about piano man?

Laaaa laaa lallanaaaaa.

Sing us a song you're the piano man.

Love that song.

Brilliant.
Rather than Hey Adam
what about ending it
Our dude?
