We've had the news at work this morning that the big boss isn't allowing us to put a T.V up so - we cant watch any of the midweek games   - Gutted So just going to have to hope we can get a flash player installed? ( I think thats what you need to have streams for the football????) Any idea on the best websites to watch the games from?!?  |

It's basically an online freeview player which can also be used on an iPhone!  Register and then done. M |

Always amazes me how some managers just don't have a clue about good man management. Of course in some jobs (surgeon for example!) having a TV on whilst working is a no no. But in most "back of office" jobs, the benefits to staff moral of having a TV for the World Cup far outweighs the loss of productivity whilst the match is actually being played.
At the World Cup 8 years ago my boss announced a few weeks before the tournament that he would provide the TV. Productivity was easily measured in the job we were doing and it was actually up for the duration of the tournament.

Oh? Well I clicked on ITV to test it now, but it said Adobe flash player is required?
Its not our boss here, its the big boss at head office who has told him to ensure we dont put it up here... ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

I know Adobe is free, but 'administrative' rights are required etc, all our computers are linked up to the head office big thing so we're limited to what we can do, and downloading anything isn't an option...

Yeah, I'd happily ring him up and argue the case for us all watching it, end of the day to prevent us all watching just pisses people off and gets staff morale down in a way!
So pissed off at it...
Trying to see if I can sweet talk someone into putting adobe on here from head office.. They best fall for the Volvic Charm ;D

You can download adobe flash here without admin rights, i had the same problem untill last week when i found this. www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/ |

Thankfully we have had a 50" put up in the office so we can watch the games. We are just awaiting the South Africa match for kick off.  |
