    I just had a look a the Setanta tv schedule for Thursday and it say the Benfica game is live - BUT the time for game is TBA????????? The game, according to uefa is scheduled for a 2:45pm ET kick-off.

    Now here's the thing - Setanta is showing the Man U/Arsenal Carling cup game also on the same channel at 2:45pm. What the hell does this mean??

    I just hope the carling cup game takes precedent over the Benfica game. I mean who the hell cares about the reserve teams - even if it is Man U and Arsenal!

    I hope someone has some info on this :confused:

    Sorry Frank, but it won't happen. You will have to settle on watching the Sporting match on RTPi on Wednesday and the Benfica match at a pub on Thursday...
