I'm not sure if I'm writing this in apoplectic shock or apoplectic ecstasy, but I'm just witnessing the Internet take another leap forward in the corner of my iBook. It has arrived - live football on Internet TV. Admittedly it is only on a screen that is 5cm x 4cm, but unlike watching a sporting clip on the Beeb's website, the picture is remarkably clear. It is so good I'd be willing to pay for it, but for now I can watch Everton vs. Manchester City courtesy of a website in Croatia/Hrvatska! (You won't hear me asking questions about broadcasting rights.) The future gets ever closer.
Later: Make that apoplectic boredom. Everton look better through the dodgy BBC pictures. God that was bad ... but I'm not complaining, right now 0-0 feels like a victory.
Posted by Joe at December 7, 2003 11:41 PMJoe, can we have a discussion about Everton for a change? I need some therapy...
And do you still subscribe to Toffeenet?
Marko, all Everton fans _need_ therapy. Why on earth do we put ourselves through this all the time? I'm not sure my readers here would be very much into Everton though. :+(
Haven't subscribed to Toffeenet for a while. Do you? Are the likes of Paul Preston still on it?
Posted by: Joe at December 17, 2003 04:10 PMYes, they are, but have gone pretty quiet lately. Just now there has been some talk on why some of the better writers have all but quit writing and the concensus seems to be that the reason is, the list has degenerated into the billboard for some of the lads. Plus some other reasons like an utterly boring "Ferguson is good" "No he's not" debate between two list members that went on for months (and still pops it's ugly head up once in a while).
