Watching Poland vs Scotland.

[hibby rae]

Apologies if already posted but I notice the game isn't on the tv tomorrow. Instead it's streaming free on the Daily Record website. Apparently no registration needed though so that's good. I just really hope they don't use their own 'journalists' as pundits!

[Iggy Pope]

Think I might boycott this one.

[The_Exile]

Seriously, is this not on the telly at all?

[Hermit Crab]

Seriously, is this not on the telly at all?

No. Thank god.

[California-Hibs]

No. Thank god.

Scotland are a decent team to watch these days and have improved tenfold since Strachens came In. I for one find watching a Scotland game a breath of fresh air from a Hibs game in recent times.

Apparently it was originally going to be pay per view. So at least it's free! Alan Rough will be fine. Thank Christ they didn't get Ewan Cameron!

[Billy Whizz]

I'm going along to watch Scotland v Switzerland under 19's this afternoon. I'm hoping Jason Cummings gets to play a part

[R'Albin]

Going to make a point of watching this on a stream site rather than the DR.

[cwilliamson85]

Do you think this will work on an ipad (other tablet devices are available)?

[Billy Whizz]

Do you think this will work on an ipad (other tablet devices are available)?

It says its available on all devices

[andyg]

It says you can watch it on the big screen through your ipad how would that work?

[Keith_M]

If online, do I have to watch it on a Windows PC or is it on any machine?


I realise us non-Windows users are a small percentage of the PC/Laptop world but it irritates me when proprietary Windows Software is chosen for no good reason.




Rant over, and breathe.............. :greengrin



EDIT: It doesn't matter, it's ony available online in the UK. I"ll need to find some other way to watch it.
---FWIW, it only mentions having an updated version of Flash, so should be available on Mac/Linux machines

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

I think it's a pretty decent offer by the DR, the TV is garbage otherwise and STV mercifully not showing the england game.

[Lendo]

Does anyone know if any of the Leith pubs will be streaming the game?

[Joe Baker II]

Similarly, are any South Edinburgh pubs screening it that anyone aware of?

[Godsahibby]

Polwarth Tavern are showing the game.

[Hanny]

Similarly, are any South Edinburgh pubs screening it that anyone aware of?

I believe Swany's on Ratcliffe Terrace is showing it.

[WestEndHibee]

I believe Swany's on Ratcliffe Terrace is showing it.

Good old Swany's :thumbsup:.

[hibby rae]

Polwarth Tavern are showing the game.

Might be a more attractive option than the flat!

[JohnStephens91]

Good old Swany's :thumbsup:.

One of my local bars, The Old Bell is my favourite though :wink:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I believe The Baillie and Broughton St Mathers are showing it.

[TRC]

Is this available outside the UK, the old bell is my favourite pub in the area!

[Joe Baker II]

Polwarth Tavern are showing the game.

Cheers and thanks to Swanny's poster too, think will head to Polwarth.

Seriously? You'll be able to get it in HD on the Record site (720p 1800kbps) v stutter mode via a dodgy stream. It's not as if the DR are going to be devastated by your absence...or notice even. Sounds like you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I just plugged my USB/iphone connection cable into the back of my tv but a message came up saying it didn't support this connection so plan b for me.

Will watch on iPad but would have preferred watching on tv with iphone or iPad connected up.

[DH1875]

In all seriousness, think its a bit of a joke the games no on the telly box. England, Wales and Ireland are all on which is fair enough but Spain vs Italy, S.Africa vs Brazil and Germany vs Chile are all on as well.

[Hiber-nation]

Hasn't played for Villa ages and just loaned to Bolton but he starts tonight. Don't we have anyone else to play in his position?

Why did the DR go to bother of advertising their exclusive showing of the game when everybody knew the streaming, if it worked, would be useless at best.

[semaj64]

Giving up even the mirror is freezing now stuck on 16 mins now

[higgy0418]

went to the u21 game tonight at tannadice. ended up walking away 15 mins after kick off, was probably going to have at least another 20 min wait before i got in. spoke to 1 of 3 stewards that appeared to be on duty outside the stadium, was informed there was only 3 cash gates open and 3 ticket gates. both queues were equally as long. now back in the flat and i cant even watch the big team cause of the Daily Record having a mince stream. SFA have had a shocker

[Sylar]

We've looked OK - comfortable in possession and relatively untroubled at the back, though Marshall has made 2 good saves.

Very little opportunities in front of goal sadly and we look a little lightweight against their pretty physical lineup.

In terms of how I'm watching it, VIPs ken' whit's goin' on :greengrin

[iwasthere1972]

Tried the Mirror website. Get the game but it plays for about a minute and goes back to 36mins of play. Done it four times now.

I'm conceding defeat and away to watch Coronation Street recorded from earlier.

[Sylar]

HT 0-0.

Hutton with a good chance to put us ahead just before half-time but a draw is probably fair based on the opening 45.

[JohnStephens91]

Devic makes it 2-0 to Ukraine, experimental USA side were on top and the goal came on the break. Not that anyone is interested :greengrin

[gramskiwood]

:greengrin

Gave up on DR and opted for a dodgy stream...not the best quality but smooth and uninterrupted.

Once again, we're miles in front of the Le Vain era...has it really been only a year? Scotland very good in possession and tight in defence. Poland's only efforts on goal have been long range and Marshall did well saving. Hutton wasted our best chance right on HT.

All in all, they've been good to watch, which in itself is a vast improvement over Potters teams

[nonshinyfinish]

Some of these Polish adverts are ace.

[cabbageandribs1875]

20:36:
If you could see the live photos - we understand a rival site is having problems showing them - you would know why I have a Polish partner. A bevvy of beauties in black lycra are entertaining the crowd with a dance routine in the centre circle that is more entertaining than anything seen so far tonight at Stadion Narodowy.

Love that strip, I've got the centennial jersey on it's way to me as we speak after it eventually became available to buy from UK stockists :cb

Full-time and 2-0 to Ukraine, mostly European based players in the squad and it was a night for Klinnsman to have a serious think about his squad. For me the centre-back pairing wasn't up to scratch, John Brooks of Hertha Berlin is too inexperienced for the World Cup and Oguchi Onyewu is not as good a choice as Omar Gonzalez. He should have been given food for thought from that, some of his questions he asked of the team were not answered and it was not a stellar performance. Gonzalez and Brad Evans for centre-backs I think, although Matt Besler is a good shout too.

Don't worry, he's Hearts problem now which should delight us all 😀

[Tinribs]

Love Broony in a Hibs/Scotland strip, never understood the hard time he gets here from us tbh.

Met the guy and had a wee chat last year, he is a Hibs man..and quite sweet to boot.

As to the group we have for the Euros, the team under GS is way better than anything since Andy Roxburgh so quite upbeat for it, but Poland in a friendly is dif from hard qualifying matches...so we will see.

[Jack Hackett]

Don't worry, he's Hearts problem now which should delight us all 

It does....cannae wait for him to take over. Don't know what he's going to do for players though. Didn't he have a problem with Jordan Rhodes because he was 'only' 22?

btw....will this win take us above Cape Verdi Isles in the FIFA rankings? :greengrin

[Hibercelona]

Good result. But don't think the performance was that great overall.

[Nevi_SOL]

I think the positive going into the euro now is that we can and have beat them which will only bring better performances

[Sean1875]

Theyre a different team with Lewandowski and the other fella from Dortmund in there. Still confident of a home win against them though and even sneaking a draw away from home :aok:

[California-Hibs]

Scotland are a decent team to watch these days and have improved tenfold since Strachens came In. I for one find watching a Scotland game a breath of fresh air from a Hibs game in recent times.

This chap knows what he's talking about. Again, we have improved tenfold under Strachen! Onwards and upwards.

[PeeJay]

Just saw the "highlights" on the DR site - Poland certainly seemed to cause us lots of problems, they were the better, more dynamic, creative team with most of the game's chances, Marshall had a few decent saves - Brown took his goal well. Group game will be different I would imagine; we're a long way from being a decent team on this showing (I only saw the highlights though, perhaps not enough to make a fair assessment)

I've looked at the highlights too..three times in fact and every time I watch we seem to score more goals than them. I've checked in my 1953 "Sports for Boys" book and seemingly it's the goals thing that is the whole point of football. Admittedly FIFA might have changed the rules since then, but I'm struggling to find any details of the points you get for dynamism or creativity…are you suggesting there is an artistic impression score as well as goals scored ? I think you might be wrong on this one…are you getting mixed up with ice dancing ?

Just my opinion like - if you're happy with that fair enough - in a way you're right of course, but a team looking to improve needs to look beyond the score sheet, particularly when it's just a friendly. We'll see just how many goals this lot manage to score in the group stages, when it counts ...

I was of course being a bit sarcastic, but the thing that Scotland as a National team need the most right now is confidence. We have some quite reasonable players, but very few "stars" if any. If we are going to progress in the qualifiers it will be by grit, determination and teamwork, especially in the away matches. We have definitely progressed under Strachan and in the last year we have put together a string of good results. We are unbeaten in our last 5 matches and have won four of them. Even prior to that, other than a 2-0 defeat to a very good Belgium side we had the terrific performance against England and a 1-0 away win at Croatia. To dismiss this "Big Picture" run of form and watch 3 minutes of highlights and decide that we are "A long way from being a decent team" is in my opinion a little bit naive. There is a tendency amongst football fans my sons age (15) to think that every team need to play like Barcelona or they are rubbish…I think you may be guilty of falling into that trap somewhat.

Some fair points - I did actually write however, that the highlights may not give a fair appraisal of the game (5 minutes only) - I couldn't see the game over here - watched Germany given the runaround by a super Chile side instead -(Chile had loads of dynamism, skill and creativity, but no goals ...) :greengrin
