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.
Thanks Sky.cnts. |  | | |

The only positive is you get the rubbish(football) out of the way early and then you have longer drinking time in the afternoon | | | |

Get home in the light for the first time in ages!
For saddos like me who still like to watch MOTD without knowing scores its a bonus as well!
No time in the morning to do any chores around the house
List is endless!  | | | |

Apologies to all you 'Old Worlders', but us antipodeans (WA excepted) happen to like the 12.30 kick-offs. 11.30 pm AEST (10.30 pm in Brizzy, 9.30 pm in NZ) kick-offs are as close to civilised as we get. Those damn 5.30 pm (your time) ko's are a real bitch: either finally go to bed at 6.30 am Sunday, or else set the alarm for 4.30 am Sunday morning.
Ok, you can all resume fulminating. My unwelcome observation of appreciation is finished.

Those of us based in the U.S. don't!
630am start in Chicago so that's a 530am train to get down to the one pub showing it. Drunk by 9am, lovely jubbly. |  | | |

Q. "Why are you drunk at 9 am?"
A. "I support QPR."
Fair enough. | |

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. Where I am there is nothing so hoping for a good feed on the internet - cricfree.tv has it for those interested. |  | | |

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. | |

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....'! |  |

The other match at that time is Norwich-Liverpool. At risk of getting you upset, which team do you think he is referring to? | |
