Quick note today... firstly, I'm blogging this from bed using my shiny new Wi-Fi Sony PDA. It's awesome, but the story of it's awesomeness will have to wait for another day. Right now I'm watching the fascinating UEFA Cup tie between Barcelona and Celtic, and the two commentators on ESPN are dire. And I really mean truly abysmal. During half-time, there was a fight in the tunnel and a player was sent off from each side -- including Celtic's GOALKEEPER. When we came back, the commentators were totally unaware of this fact. They saw Celtic bring on a new goalkeeper, and did comment that it was an odd change, but never quite realised that Celtic were a man short. And when Barcelona had a second player sent off, they STILL didn't realise that Thiago Motta had been sent off earlier -- this despite the cameras repeatedly showing him off the pitch, surrounded by policemen, when they had assumed he was still out there playing. It took them a full 25 minutes to put it all together. Absolutely unbelievable.
