Rigsby,
Yes,the English Premier League is covered here on cable.Selected games are televised "live"
Some limited coverage also on "free to air" channels.
So don't cancel that ticket,the electricity is on and all here now!

Foxtel has plenty of Premier League games broadcast live during the week. In fact, enough to become sick of the game

The 4pm Sunday game you see over there is on live as is the Monday night and usually a Saturday afternoon game which is really good if you are an insomniac or suffer from severe jet lag as they are all on in the wee small hours of the morning.

Unfortunately they don't seem to cater for the real football coinsure over here as it is very rare that a Scottish premier league game is televised.

Sure man,
Forget Sydney, come down to Melbourne. I've found girls to be very receptive to any kind of bloke, especially at a fine establishment called the Mens Gallery, cnr Lonsdale and King St, City. They'll talk all night to you and even dance, for a fee. (If you know what I mean, eh bruvva!)Or try the corner pub at Braybrook. Never know!

Cougar: If you have reached the stage of being "sick of the game", it's time to turn up your toes, mate. I've followed it for the past fifty-odd years, and it's still the finest game on the planet. (Prepares to stand clear of the b****hit about to be thrown by followers of the strange codes!!!!).

Boh'ban: Some years ago, I spoke to the SBS people about the lack of Scottish games, to be told that the SFA charge like the proverbial wounded bull for the rights, hence no Jockball.

Regards to all,

TheNightOwl.
