[ugotguts]

Hi guys..

Any idea where can I watch the game and also if it is available on any free to air channels?

Cheers

True, but don't know if it's on a free channel.

Thailand - beIN Sports which I believe is on Home Cable (I think Channel 56 on mine) - well Ronaldo is advertising it on there daily. According to a search on Bing it came up with the same result.

Google came up with this

Thailand True Sport HD 2, True Sport 1, Truevisions Streaming

many thanks for the information! looks like i am having the same home cable as yours

There is also mention on Thai Visa that it may be shown on Thai Channels 1 or 3 but the commentary will obviously be in that lingo. I miss my weekly TV guide in the UK so much - the blister on my thumb keeps reappearing whilst channel flicking here. I would have thought by now that Home, CTH and True would have an online weekly, if not daily guide.

Barcelona 3 Juventus 1

Barcelona deservedly won the Champions League trophy in Berlin in a very entertaining match.
They took the lead after just 5 minutes through Rakitic and for most of the first half Juventus were hanging on,being indebted to good keeping by Buffon.
However,the game changed 10 minutes into the second half when Morata scrambled home the equaliser.Midway through the second half Juve had a good penalty appeal turned down when Alves tussled with Pogba in the box.
Moments after that Barcelona re-took the lead when Suarez scored after Buffon could only parry Messis shot.
Neymar then scored with the final kick of the match to complete the 3-1 scoreline.
Overall,Barcelona deserved their win but full credit to Juve who made them fight all the way.
A fitting end to Xavi's career at Barca when he came on as sub after 75 minutes and was given the captains armband by Iniesta. =D>
Surprisingly,manager Luis Enriques future is in doubt despite winning the treble at Barca this season ! Enrique admits he doesnt know if he will be in charge next season and has been annoyed by critics sniping at his style of play.
This season Barcelona have played 60 won 50 drawn 4 and lost 6 and Enriques future is in doubt !!
Makes you wonder how many days Brendan Rodgers would last in charge at the Nou Camp ?

Rarely do we disagree Zid,, but this game was such a disappointment to me, I switched off and went to bed, after 60 minutes.
A fitting end to Xavi's career at Barca when he came on as sub after 75 minutes and was given the captains armband by Iniesta. =D> A deserved gesture of respect from one great player, to another =D>

Based on his consistent losing record in 'crunch' matches over the last four seasons, and his unpleasant, disruptive behaviour, his future is never going to include an offer from Barcelona, or, in my opinion, any of the other elite clubs. I believe Chelsea FC to be his 'last chance saloon'. Another season of performances, and unpleasant controversy, similar to that just ended, could very well end the myth of Mourinho's self styled 'specialness'. This especially if, as I expect to happen, the superior tactical abilities and knowhow of his opposing Managers when it comes to competing against the truly elite of managers, in the Champions League, embarrassingly exposes his tactical limitations, for the eighth (?)consecutive season.


Note: Pre the 2014-15 season, a friend in the UK managed to place two bets for me. 100 Pounds sterling @ 5/2 for Chelsea to win EPL. On which I was paid out somewhere around 6/8 weeks into the season!! Second bet, again 100 Pounds sterling @ 7/1 for Chelsea to win EPL 2015-16. Easiest money in the world, as I believe the talent of the squad will, once again, overcome the handicap of Mourinho's restrictive management style. =D>

Zid, my Season 2015-16 special offer. You receive TWELVE bottles of our favourite Oz Chardonnay ,if Chelsea ,(under MOURINHO's management), win the European Champions League or, you provide me with SIX bottles if Chelsea do not win. Well? Come on, make up your mind

[Zidane]

mat,why dont you give me a more realistic bet like Bournemouth winning the Premiership ?
Chelsea wont win the Champions League next year unless they sign both Ronaldo and Messi !
Theres more chance of you and Jose Mourinho having a gay relationship than Chelsea becoming number one in Europe
I'll have a think of a more realistic bet before the EPL 2015/16 starts.

[b]Sorry Zid, I think you are wrong. Even if they were signed, I would still happily offer you the same bet! This because it would take Mourinho at least a full season to rectify the weaknesses he sees in their footballing styles, and to coach them in their defensive duties, while using them 'coming off the bench' [-o< . Have you forgotten his attempts to teach Ronaldo, and the other mediocre players at Real, how to play the game properly, (i.e. according to Mourinho ), which resulted in two years of utter disaster at Real, alienation of the fans and Mourinho's peremptory dismissal.
Last season also, despite possessing the best club squad in the world, and virtually a total lack of any real competition, the football produced, and the overall results obtained, under his direction, in no way reflected the collective talent of this world class group of players. In fact there were occasions, notably, but not exclusively, in the Champions League, and the FA Cup, when the performance of the players, and Mourinho's tactical naivety were a complete embarrassment! I would have no hesitation in backing Chelsea to win the European Cup, under any one of a number of managers, (other than Mourinho), I can think of; including several currently managing in the EPL, but handicapped by being of British extraction! :-" :-"

OK. With Arsne Wenger, for the first time in a decade, now having the mandate, and the financial backing, to concentrate all his considerable management/coaching expertise solely on mounting a serious challenge in both the EPL and Europe, I am willing to offer you three possible bets. The FIRST is that Arsenal will finish the 2015-16 season above Man. Utd in the EPL. Odds = evens. Bet winner 1 doz bottles Oz Chardonnay. The SECOND that Arsenal will finish no lower than SECOND in the EPL this upcoming season. Odds= you give me 2/1 i.e. 6 bottles to three. The THIRD,( assuming MU qualify for the group stage), is that Arsenal's Champions League performance will prove superior to that of MU. Odds=evens. 3bottles Chardonnay. NB. In the event of either of us not surviving the excitement of the season, payment to be made to next of kin!

[Zidane]

'ows about in the EPL next season you go for Arsenal to win the title and I go for Chelsea to win the title ?
6 bottles of Chardonnay on it......if neither of us is correct then just get bladdered at the Udon Tap one day !
