early ko's...humbug! on 12:42 - Jan 22 with 3300 views | stowmarketrange | It's even worse if you don't finish work until 6am tomorrow morning.A couple of hours kip at most and down on the train to watch a game with zero atmosphere and not a lot riding on it. I thought it would be a 3pm kick off,a couple of beers and a nice stroll to see the big yin at hammersmith tomorrow night.Now there is a whole 4 hours drinking with my beer monster brother before probably falling asleep and missing the punch lines.

Don't know where the Kiwis are, probably asleep. It would be 1:30am in Kiwiland, not 9:30. 8:30pm in WA must be great! Anyway, there are a cupla pubs showing it here - Turf in Melbourne, Royal Exhibition in Sydney and Pig'n'whistle in Brissie.

Lol, I am f*cking hopeless on tjme zones! I have to post to a thread, then compare my watch with what time LFW says it arrived to know how long kick-off is away! Of course, it's all Queensland's fault. They reckon they've got so much daylight, they don't have to save it. | ![](/images/avatars/3653.gif) |

As a kid back in the 80's before mobiles and all that high-falutin' jazz my routine was to dash from the Loft as soon as the final whistle went and before the scores came up, put in the earphones, avoid all contact with humanity on the train home and watch MOTD in blissful ignorance of the day's other scores. That was fine until my Mother - in an endearing attempt to join in the sporty camaraderie - would start commenting on scores she heard on the radio. No matter how many times I tried to explain it, she'd keep doing it, bless her. it came to a head one evening when I returned after a good Rangers result. Whether Arsenal won, drew or lost that day was important for Rangers and I'd warned her that morning that on no account should she blab a word of the score. She got the hump. Did I think she was stupid or what? She met me at the door on my return:- 'Mom, not a peep!!!' She took off in a huff towards the kitchen... 'Honest to God, I think sometimes that ye think I'm an imbecile, that I haven't a spark of sense in my head, how I got to this age without yeer help I don't know...this is the thanks I get...treated like a fool in my own house.......(about thirty seconds later)...it's not as if there was any goals in the stupid match anyway....'! | ![](/images/avatars/1570.gif) |
