Come On Yis Boys In Green!

Tonight (or rather tomorrow morning China time) Ireland will play France in the World Cup qualifiers. I was going to wear my Irish football jersey into class this morning but I thought it might be a bit unprofessional, which would go against everything I stand for! I did tell them about the match but they didn't know! I'll learn 'em!

So, the thing is, the match is on at 7:45pm tonight (Wednesday) in Ireland, which is 2:45am on Thursday morning here. I was on to the guy who runs the Irish pub in Dalian and he eventually found a Guangdong-based sports channel that is showing it! The national CCTV 5 sports channel is showing England! For shame! I don’t think the England versus Norniron (that’s Northern Ireland for non-Irish readers) will be much of a contest. Ireland against France, on the other side could decide the fate of the group!

So, I dunno if I can be bothered going all the way into town and all the way back (an hour’s round trip). I couldn’t find that Guangdong channel on my TV but conveniently, here is a thing called PPlive that allows you to watch some Chinese channels on the Internet! Last night I found Guangdong TV Sports! Yippee! So, I think a few of the Irish lads might come around here to watch it. I can hook the laptop up to the TV and watch it! That cable was a great buy! I hope our roaring and shouting won’t wake the neighbours up!!!

OK, I better do my Chinese studying now. It actually paid off; as I was on QQ the other day and some of the words I learnt were used by people I was chatting to!
