Have you anything original to add apart from parroting what the tv3 commentary said? 

Coming from the man who posted 'Randolph would have saved it' which was pretty pointless, yet you're picking up Max on a valid point regarding Dortmund Confused

Dortmund do play a very high line, it was very evident at Wembley two weeks ago and you would have thought they would have learned their lesson, obviously not hence why Max made his point I'd imagine.

You're turning into an awful grump around here lately Ouch

What's the correlation between my point (not even a point btw) 'in jest' and another poster who was just repeating what the commentary said. 

Dortmund do play a very high line, it was very evident at Wembley two weeks ago and you would have thought they would have learned their lesson, obviously not hence why Max made his point I'd imagine.

My argument is Max was repeating what he heard on tv and nothing to do with Dortmund's high line (which I couldn't give bollocks about anyway)

'In jest' and it was about as funny as AIDS.

Or maybe being the keen football fan that Max is and an avid fan of German football given his strong German roots that he had the same observation as many of us who watch Dortmund regularly and decided he wanted to make a point! 

Given this is a football forum after all.

You were just being petty for the sake of it.

Anyhow back to the football, while I've never had any great love for Spurs I must say I really do hope that they make it past the group stage as I really like their brand of football.

Harry Kane could end up at Real Madrid with the rate he's going at, I believe that when Benzema starts getting phased out (in a season or two) he could become the perfect number 9 for Real.

He was making that sounded like he took it straight from tv3. I highlighted that.

I caught he last few mins and was pleasantly surprised at their choice, was that just an editorial choice or was there a different reason?? 

I remember reading RTE's response to only showing the English clubs games even if it was a dead rubber and they said it was down to viewership figures would drop hugely if they didn't show those games, so I'd be certain TV 3 would do the same.

Those TV3 dickheads showed Man United v Basel instead of Barcelona v Juventus a couple of weeks ago. I was glad to see they finally used some sense last night.

Except of course for the last five or so years so where they've been more or less an irrelevance in the larger scheme of things.
 
Frank's right - it was a crime screening that filth the other week ahead of some of the other ties.

Screening that filth

It might something to do with the fact United are arguably the most popular English club side in Ireland and most of the football tv public whether you like or hate them would rather watch one of the English sides in Europe. The demand is obviously there in comparison to Juventus.

That's why I was surprised Liverpool's game wasn't shown over Dortmund's last night on tv3 as they'd also have a big fanbase in Ireland.

You can call them an irrelevance all you want but their popularity was always there during the Moyes/Van Gaal years.

What club team do you follow Devrorex out of curiousity? I genuinely don't know.

I don't really follow a club side to be honest, although I do watch a fair bit of the Prem. I have always found it an enjoyable league to follow despite not supporting any one team from it.
 
And I understand why the likes of TV3 and RTE do it but on certain occasions like that it can be particularly annoying. United at home to Basle is never going to be a classic.
