2013 Pre-season Mega Thread

Anyone have an idea of what time (BST) this kicks off?

 

Got a feeling its 1:30am.

 

Anyone reckon theres a chance of a stream. I tend to be up at that time.

 

I read local time 19:30 for the actual kick off, which would make it 03:30 here

Not sure if that's right, seems to be a lot of conflicting ideas online. Sure to be a stream though, I'd have thought.

 

Back page of EDP ' follow Paddy's full interactive coverage of City's opening pre-season friendly, visit pinkun.com from 3.30am tomorrow '

 

yep, pink un are saying 7:30PM local time which is 3:30am UK
there is a game before us as well, all to do with sacremento launching an MLS team

 

No surprise, we are fielding two different xi's for each half!

 

NCFC twitter says this:

We are informed that once national anthems are completed, tonights game v @doradosoficial in Sacramento will kick off ať 3.50am U.K. time.

It also says this:

We understand live streaming of the games against @SJEarthquakes and @TimbersFC will be available and will update you about this soon

 

Prize muppet - I looked at Fotmob, my previously reliable android live score app, and tweeted that after 32 minutes, Dorados and NCFC were level at 0 - 0.

Shortly afterwards, it was pointed out to me (don't shoot the messenger ) that the match doesn't kick off until the early hours of tomorrow morning! Ooops!

 

It's still 0-0

 

Welcome to my world!

 

Yeah, brings it home to you what exiles face.

So it'll be about midday'ish where you are? Will you be able to get the time to watch it?

How is Friday by the way, should we look forward to it?

 

i love this article on the upcoming game

http://www.insidebayarea.com/sports/ci_23688066/quakes-newcomer-faces-english-countrymen-epl-

'Jordan Stewart will see a familiar face in 19-year-old Norwich newcomer Nathan Redmond.

The journeyman Stewart, 31, and Redmond are natives of Birmingham'

it seems to be suggesting jordan stewart is familiar with everyone from birmingham, like its a little village. Maybe not the intended meaning, but i like the idea of quaint little english birminghamshire with its cosy 1 million occupants!

 

Ha ha yes a very rare lunchtime KO for me! Friday has arrived safe and well. Sleep easy everyone. Sunshine and it's practically the weekend!

 

link anyone? cheers

 

3-0! Josh Murphy. Good to see Becchio scoring

 

Was that how it finished? Who got the other one?

 

Pilks

 

Just trying to work out how we lined up:

First half:
Ruddy
Gafaiti, Ayala, R Bennett
E Bennett, Fox, Tettey, Surman, Redmond
Butterfield
Becchio

Then:
Bunn
Whittaker, R Bennett, Martin, Garrido
Snodgrass, Fox, Surman, Pilkington
Murphy
Becchio

Nice to see Fox and Surman got full games, and from the match report Fox got fairly involved. Also interesting that we appeared to play significantly better with four at the back than 3.

Edit: Pink'un reckon Surman actually played at LB in the first half, surprisingly. So we did have four defenders. I'd also like to see a clip of Murphy's goal, canaries.co.uk describe it as a curling effort from outside the box, whilst the Pink'un reckon it was a rising volley. Combine those descriptions and you've got one hell of a goal!

 

yep surman played LB

REALLY good to see becchio score, hopefully he can kick on now - let's get behind the fella!
