Is it possible? I've seen K-League stuff on 'Xports' and one other which features mainly baseball...Do they show English PL too?

EPL? Yup, every weekend and weekday games as well on SBS sports (cable TV). They broadcast almost every ManU game (I hate them btw) so if there's another game playing at the same time, too bad!

La liga and Serie A seem to be broadcast on KBS sports, but not as often. Champions League is broadcasted as well, but those start at like 6-7 AM our time, so I don't watch those unless they are rebroadcasted.

I like watching broadcasts that are broadcasting when they are rebroadcasted, don't you agree?

What is it with AC Monaco games on all the time??? Does a Korean play for them, or was it the case as with Lee Young Pyo moving to Roma-he didn't but they already bought the screening rights?

ManPoo-yes, they'll be on. Ferg is such a horrible win-at-all-costs,squeeze out any favouritism man. Which means that he plays on officials fear of being shut out of the party.

And I just flat out hate them and anyone who jumps on their bandwagon.

Korean channels have to provide their own commentary, hence they only cover a handful of games and keep repeating them for weeks at a time.

Yes a Korean plays for Monaco. Forgot his name but he is a winger.
Premiership was on MBC espn last season, but now it's on the KBS cable channel. As has been mentioned it's nearly always Man U, or Bolton at the moment. So I won't be paying the extra to watch it. I have noticed that they don't show a 3pm saturday kick off game unless one of their boys is involved. Disgraceful!! Last year on MBC there was an awful lot of Fulham presumedly for the possibility of seeing Seol sat on the bench. This year they must have been outbid by KBS for the rights to broadcast and have resorted to showing the 2002 world cup highlights. Whilst KBS must be fuming that having paid to broadcast Man u games Park was not even getting on the bench before his injury.
I use p2p and watch my chosen game on my laptop, though it's not the same as lying in bed with a pizza slice in one hand and a fag in the other.
My team Southampton need to sign a Korean if I've any hope of seeing them whilst here.

The bastarding picture is messed up on my KBS channel it looks like it's being shown through a ultra violet camera or something. Doesn't help that I can't understand Korean to fix it...

It's scrambled, you won't tune that in. I did try watching a game through the lines but started hallucinating before half time. X sports show month old games occasionally and that's free.

I usually just torrent match of the day. Ha, I just turned on KBS and they were subbing the Korean boy on the Monaco game Laughing funny coincidence. I think the Bolton game might be on soon. Manc v 'pool should definitely be on at midnight (if my calculations are correct.) Rooney and Torres are both fit so it should be a real pot boiler.

That's not a bad idea! I miss MOTD. Shame they don't feature Monaco...

Anyone know a gamecast for the match?

I wouldn't mind some text commentary.
