    My Sky guide has it on BBCNI @ 1230 on Sunday. :confused:

    Perhaps it is, Entertainment Ireland has it listed as well, however on the BBC schedules website it says it's not on in Northern Ireland. I'll try to tune in BBC Two England this evening anyway if I can on my Sky box if I haven't already got it, just in-case.

    I hate it when they show some boring local crap instead of Athletics, and I'm from the north too!

    I see on RTE's coverage the commentary is by Steve Cram and Brendan Foster. That is quite the coup for RTE ;)

    Seriously though, I guess they are just picking up the BBC commentary when the race starts. I'd say there's a good chance I will watch this on BBC Two anyway, even though its on RTE as well.

    Highlights of Daegu on Eurosport HD at 10am and repeated again at 12pm I think on either Eurosport 1 or 2.

    Is this highlights of the athletics or out-takes of the C4 presenter?

    Great Edinburgh International Cross Country Run - Sat 1pm on BBC One

    Heard rumours that Kenenisa Bekele would be running it, but I don't know for sure.

    Lap to go. Britton burned the whole field off, but Steel has held on so far. Putting on a burst again now to try and lose her.

    Great result and really enjoyed watching. But why was she listed a EUR instead of IRL for country?

    Its a team event Eur,USA and GB & NI they combine points from all four races (Men and women) and lowest points wins

    Joe Sweeney and Mark Hanrahan were also part of the Europe team

    Kiprot was just out for a jog there by the look of him :D

    I loved the moment where one of the young British runners was running beside Bekele and looked across at him and had a massive big grin on his face. Don't think he could quite believe it either. Think he beat Bekele in the end too.

    Any chance "FreeView" means that if you have Sky and you get the message about needing to upgrade to see Setanta, it will magically disappear for the duration of this programme???

    That was a very interesting program last night. One major thing picked up was - keep it simple.

    That was interesting alright. Setanta showed it for free even though I don't have a subscription to their channel. Interesting programme, I think it will be one I will be keeping on my Sky+ box.

    One to watch at the weekend is the Houston marathon Fagan and AFAIK one or two of the mission marathon ladies in action (Ava Hutchinson??) at the weekend

    It would be nice if they televised or streamed live the US Marathon Trials, they are on in Houston this weekend also.

    They will most certainly be televised and should be able to find a stream very easily for them. I will post one when it becomes available

    I hope so. What I've read online is that they won't be streamed or televised live.
