No more English Premier League in Taiwan

Eleven Sports. Its even cheaper than PLP, worked ok during the Euros so will hopefully be good.

Ah yeah, after getting over my initial shock I just found it by searching around.

But itā€™s only selected games live. Total crap compared to Premier League Pass, but I guess Iā€™ll have to subscribe anyway. As you say, at least itā€™s cheap.

Nightmare! Thereā€™s two twats talking in mandarin all over the match. Fucking Taiwan.

I didnā€™t sign up to this, but I was considering it. Is there no way of turning on English commentary? I think thatā€™s made my decision up for me.

Here are some good sites for sport downloads followed with brief notes:

ARL is available in English on Setanta ch. 183 on MOD which is all rugby all the time (Aussie Rules died with the Australian Channel, sadly)

Currently ch 183 MOD (Sunday 9:00 p.m. Taiwan time) showing ARL Roosters vs. Cowboys

Doesnā€™t seem to be any way to get English commentary on Eleven Sports, itā€™s weird because all the rest of their coverage is with English commentary, just not the English Premier League matches.

The Bournemouth v Man Utd commentary today is also in Mandarin but itā€™s better than yesterday - thereā€™s the stadium noise in the background and a commentator who seems to know what heā€™s talking about.

I think PLP set the bar quite high, this Eleven Sports thing falls some way short.

Just a note, Man Utd vs Southampton now, on the ā€œelevenā€ channel itā€™s in Chinese, on the ā€œeleven sportsā€ channel itā€™s in English. Only signed up half an hour ago, so canā€™t say if thatā€™s been the case for other games.

(sadly, it is Phil Neville)

Thatā€™s good to know, I got this email yesterday from Eleven Sports but havenā€™t had a chance to check yet.

"Thank you for contacting Eleven Sports Network Support Team.

From second match week onward, there will be two (2) options for the commentary language. Hence, you may choose the option that you prefer to."

Iā€™ve got it on ELEVEN SPORTS, channel 75, and I didnā€™t sign up for it.

Man Cityā€™s away kit is ridiculous.

How are they making money? There donā€™t seem to be any adverts on the channel.

Man U Liverpool tonight. No charge.

VAR doesnā€™t work in football, other than for off side or the rare occasion when did the ball cross the line or not.

Itā€™s great with cricket, but a disaster with football IMO.

Channel 75. Liverpool Man City. Free. I think Iā€™ve just come.
