Sky Sports coverage of last night

Does anyone know if there are links online to the Sky coverage of the game last night. Wouldn't mind hearing what Beagrie and co had to say about the game.

Thanks
 
When the final whistle was blown we got "It's not a winning advantage, but it's an advantage nonetheless"

Hold on, surely any advantage is a winning advantage. Sky commentary and punditry is painful. It's not even commentary, all we get is their irrelevant opinion, they don't actually tell you what's happening in the game.

It was even funnier when he tried to say that we have the experience because we've been to the final twice before. Of course, he was ignoring the fact that there's not one player, or member of the coaching staff that was with us then.
 
Before you criticise Beagrie too much, try and cast your minds back to when Gary Birtles was the "pundit" or summariser against Creepy. That WAS painful. Beagrie was fine last night.

And Ayreshire: No, we have an advantage - but if Orient turn us over at the Hall and get to Wembley, then it will clearly not be a winning advantage.

That was a top , top moment.
It's actually a very easy word to pronounce if you look at it clearly , but people seem to panic at the sheer volume of letters , start off with the first couple correctly and then tail off into something incomprehensible !
 
Don't have Sky so I couldn't record the game. Would somebody be able to burn it onto a DVD for me please? I'll provide a disk if required. Thanks in advance.
 
I quite like Beagrie. Not only was he a top player he's a lot less sneary about "lower league football" than others. I remember his funny Eric Morecambe dance in front of the east stand. Made me laugh.
 
Would anyone be able to put up the interviews with Leonard and Smith or be able to give a summary of what they both said? Many thanks.
 
Its only a small link to highlights, but the sky sports webiste normally have 2 or 3 minutes highlights of the games. I have set my planner for 1pm today, so will watch later with my son who wasnt allowed to go to the game due to his age. His face was a picture when i told him we had won. 34 years i have been waiting to see us at wembley...the dream is on!!!

From what I can remember Leonard said it was definitely his goal. Smith praised the fans, said they've been great all season and that we need to push on from here and do all we can to reach Wembley.

I've got to say I normally despise the Sky coverage of our games on the rare occasions we're televised. But from watching the majority of those highlights and being at the game myself last night, I thought they were better than normal.

Garry Birtles and the main commentator have had a tendancy in the past to flatter the opposition against us and talk them up all game which really annoyed me against Crewe and Crawley last season. However I thought it was pretty fair last night. Probably because other than the league status we're pretty similar sized clubs.

That said I saw that last night was Orient's record crowd for the season which was a similar size to how many were at Roots Hall for a league game on Saturday which again surprised me.

Then it's a winning advantage.
