Brighton go global

[bhafc99]

Not only did we get to watch the game live here in Dubai, but it's being repeated in its entirety THREE times today, on various Al Jazeera Sports channels, at various times.

So at 8.15 tonight I think I'll sit down and watch it all again!

All that, and Will Buckley named as "Who's Hot" in today's local paper, (alongside the Aussie rugby fly half "Who's Not" after choking the test against the All Blacks).

Seems Brighton are all the rage in the Middle East at the moment!

I find that so strange, are you aware if any locals watched it? Is it discussed at all?

I wish I had the match on mp4/avi. Anyone?

A very good friend of mine watched it live in Doha .....

Doubt it – Premiership is popular here, but only amongst expats. We'll probably be off the agenda once the Premiership kicks off, but at the moment we're the no1 story.

Was gobsmacked to see Buckley in today's paper, as normally the "Who's Hot/Who's Not" page only features international household names. (Though they did say he scored "with the last kick of the game", which wasn't totally true.)
