2137:Well that's just about it from me for tonight. I'm actually quite knackered after that. I'd rather have been there, but I guess I'll have to make do with the Vipers v Panthers game tomorrow night. See what the oppositions like. Living in England isn't that great when you want to watch your home team.
Looking around the rinks tonight. The Blaze won 4-1 in B-Stoke. Panthers beat the Manc's 2-0 at home. Vipers went to Hull and won on Penalty shots 3-2, while the Steelers are hammering the Devils 5-1 in the final session, so I guess we know how that will turn out. Anyway.. I'm off to drink more beer and watch trashy saturday night TV.. apparently Simon Pegg is on the repeat of Jonathan Ross Show... quality. Goodnight.

Thanks to everyone who texted in photos comments and e-mails etc. Especially Arn, Fish,Jacko, Kenny and Big Paul to name a few. Keep it up guys

2131: Result, Giants 2 Caps 1.
It's all over and the Coors Belfast Giants have their first win on the board. Man of the Match awards went to Dutes and Perras. The Caps are on the next HSS out and left pretty sharpish... good ol' Doug, keeping to some tradition. They didnt even stay of the Man of the Match Presentation... well the jokes on you Perras... You just missed out on a crate of Coors! Pass them out Fish!

2128: Minute to go... Caps Goalie is pulled

2123: 2 on 1 for the Caps and Roman Gavalier (Minus his Cavalier), kills it with an awesome block to a cross ice pass. 3 minutes to go

2121: Lewis and Stefishen go toe to toe. The Caps bench goes nuts as Lewis flattens him with a biiiig right hander. In the words of Louis Walsh "I loike it!"

2116: My new fiance is looking a me like I'm not right for doing this on a saturday evening. But in fairness, I'm looking to save cash by staying in, and TV is poor tonight..

"Hi guys,
Thoroughly enjoying your podcast - great idea for those of us who can't get to the game. Glad you found you'd more beer!

Cheers!
Gill a.k.a. GA22

No worries Gill, glad I'm not the only one in on a saturday night

2111: GOOOOOOOAAAAL! Caps pull one back. Neil Hay lets one go and Mark Paterson deflects it though PDR's five-hole. It's going to be a tense last 8 minutes (yeah I know I said 7 minutes to go earlier... turns out the computer was lying to me... go figure)

2107: Just realised I forgot to update the headline score. Oops... it is 2-0. There are 7 minutes to go. Oh and the "Durty Panthers" are now beating the Phoenix 2-0, McAslan got the second.

2104: Turns out Fish was staying in his mum and dads house last night, had no other clothes to wear to the hockey, hence his shirt in that picture... that's a lame excuse if you ask me.

2058: GolaGolaGolaGolaGoooooool!
Dutes scores on the powerplay after lovely rink wide pass from "AtAsda". "Magical Trev" gets the other assist.
Jacko has apparently brought a new meaning to binge drinking, by downing his "217th"[sic] pint of the evening... The Giants scored in celebration to this.

2055:Final period is under way, and the Giants get an early powerplay. Adam Stefishen heading to the box for Hooking. Meanwhile Doug christensen has a "Rob Wilson Style" whinge at "Hands Up"... I wonder is it over the arrangement to get home? Or Does Doug "Know where he lives?"

2049: Barrie Moore has "Struck it Lucky" and made it 4-1 to the Blaze, and yes I'm going to dig that joke out every time... "oh-white"! (At least I didn't mention any swimming pools!). Third Period in Belfast about to get under way!

2045:I have an ego problem, so I thought I'd add my name to the top.. may as well, gives you a name to slag off by e-mail. Steelers have gone 3 against the Devils. and I did have more beer in the fridge... that's the result of the evening!

2038: Just noticing... why is fish so well dressed in that picture? I wonder does he have a hot date?

2034: End of second period and the Giants are up... but not before a Caps goal was washed out by "Hands Up" as the net was off it's moorings. Word is this is the best Caps team ever seen at the Odyssey. I wonder does Doug Christanson have them booked on the next HSS the way Tony Hand did? And I wonder did Moray hitch a lift? Also, I wonder if theres any more beer in my fridge?

2028: Uh-oh.. another ice problem.. this is the third stoppage of the game, but it gives me the chance to tell you that the Stingrays equalised with the Vipers, only 7 seconds left on the clock, seems Carson is having a bit of a laugh down there too... I thought that was Stani's job? Anyway, that held through OT and the Vipers won on Penalty shots 3-2. Steelers are beating the Devils by a goal. The Durty Panthers are leading Manchester by a goal, while the Coventry Smoulder are 3-1 up in B-Stoke (that's the new name, I'm down with the street talk! Yo!)

2025: Why is Ainsley Harriet so annoying. Actually I'm going to turn the TV off. Sod Casualty. Oh and it's been confirmed that the two Alternate Captains are "Magical Trevor" and "Mo-Train".

2020: On efan missed the goal... but at least the drummers are enjoying themselves... while the crowd chant at a new Giants arrival..

"Paul Moran Moran,
He'll do everything he can,
He's a Dirty Panthers Man,
Paul Moran, Moran"

2011: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL Great work behind the goal by "The Eagle" and "AtAsda" gives it to Scotty C in the crease.. and Cameron breaks the deadlock... 1-0.

2004: Jacko's having fun. Needs to lose that hat though, he's fooling no one. In the Game, "Hitchy's Look-a-like" goes coast-to-coast, but (in a Jamie Redknapp style) Perras is "literally on fire" and saves it well.

1958: Vipers are winning, Steelers are winning, Panthers are winning and Blaze are winning. Giants are dead-locked and yet to score. Steve "The Boss" Allen texted to say he's expecting Big Paul to come out dressed as a billboard we have that many sponsors! Gotta be a good thing. anyway.. Second Period is about to start! And my Pizza is just ready!

1945: End of the first period and no score... Lookin good in the Arena though (That's a small picture isn't it). I'm going to go get a beer and a pizza in the break... Goodfellas... I know thats what you were thinking!

1934: Carlyle Lewis is standing on the edge of the crease looking to tap things in... he obviously hasn't been briefed on Giants etiquette.
Meanwhile there is an ice problem in Belfast and a slight delay

1929: There must be something better on TV than "The Weakest Link Wags Special".. especially with Alex Best claiming "She's the original WAG"? Sometime I wish I still lived in Belfast.

"Buna seara din Romania!

Stuck here watching ih-update with no-one else in the chatroom; just wondering when Robin Elliott will pop up on one of the really obscure cable TV channels here...

Go Giants!"

1923: Mr Big Paul says we have a packed house of 4500-5000 folk. And Jacko is claiming "The Eagle" is skating like a tractor is pulling him. No goals though. Despite alot of action on Perra's goal! He's looking good for the Caps.

"Loving the updates here at G Crew HQ - Pistol Ltd.
Great to be part of the action, and glad that the White Denim Shorts have made the podcast!

It's good to know what is going on as we are off working on another project abroad.

Big shout Out to Coach Maguire and the Girls!

Lovin' your work KOTG!"
Diane and Team from Pistol
We love your work also! Especially Jacko!

1914: One of the boards is an ad for the Samaritans... does Kelman know something we don't? In Hull, "John" Hutchins got 10 minutes for inciting, and Derek Campbell "A" was kicked for fighting. Vipers lead 2-1. Blaze lead the Bison 1-0 and theres no score in the other two games... infact I dont need to tell you... go to ih-update and see for yourself.

1911: Just when we get a PP, (a hook Stefishen), Ryan Smith evens up the number straight away with an interference call. But thanks to Big Bad Dino Bauba... Giants get another man's advantage. Looks like "Hands Up" Hanson is on form.

1905: Here's your Teal shirt confirmation.. still no reason why though. In the game, there have been chances both ends.. "AtAsda" coming close, PDR saving from Christianson and "Magical Trevor" hitting a Caps player so hard his helmet pops off. Jacko's text again.. he's mainly impressed by the boards being filled by sponsors.

1902: The new GM is listening to the chants it seems... George is officially from Asda. Awada is now sponsored by the Wallmart subsidiary. Genius!

1900: LET'S GET IT ON! Game Faces off.. Giants start in their Teal shirts... don't know why yet.. I'm sure it's because someone in Edinburgh's mum didn't wash their away shirts... always the way! *tut*

1859: It's a new era! and TK the GM has given a "Welcome to the New Season" speech.

1857: You excited? 3 minutes to go! Fish sent me this!... I don't know either.. but at least he's safety concious

1850: STOP THE PRESSES, thanks to Jacko for the critical game info. The G-Crew Cheerleaders are in White Denim Hotpants! They haven't sent a picture yet though!

1844: Looks like "Oh-E-Bee" has a knee injury and that's why he's suited and booted on the bench. However Mr Big Paul says "The team look fresh".

1842: A win for Scotland in the football.. and Norn Iron currently 1 goal down... I hope thats not an omen.

1838: News from the Arena is that Walton didn't take part in the warm up, but is in a suit on the bench... more work for "Young Lewis Christie"?

1836: "Wild Thing" (haha) Andre Payette has put the Vipers a goal up in Hull, while the Blaze have faced off in Baisingstoke... when our game starts you wont get this public service from around the UK as much, I just dont have much else to say at the minute

1831: But back in "Hockey-Town Northern Ireland", the boys are on the ice for the warm up! err... Away shirts?

1830: Apparently there's hockey going on elsewhere also? Word from Hull is that the Stingrays v Vipers game has decended into the "Carson Show". The ref putting the Vipers on the PK for the last 11 minutes of the first period. it's 1-1 after the first period there.

1820: They first encountered Giants fans last season in Edinburgh, but the infamous "Aussies" have arrived in Belfast for another dose of Hockey (or maybe beer). They were greeted by a chant off "You're just a small island off New Zealand"

1815: I know we've missed hockey for the last number of months... but a few of the Giants fans felt they needed to inject a bit of "Caribbean Culture" but great to see the craic is building in the bar pre-game

1800: Hello out there! We're on the air! It's hockey night tonight! Big Paul has just text to say "The Clock is ticking... Hockey is in 60 minutes!"
