[Football] 8pm (9pm local time) on a Sunday night is a RUBBISH time for a major European final to kick off

[Flounce]

It’s what we do best

(Other than moaning about other people moaning, obvs).

BOTH essential, where’s the fun in happy clapping?

I expect to keep my moaning powder dry until the announcement of the team which I reckon I already know as Southgate is predictable in every way.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

But it's not good for anyone. Middle aged ,old- too late for a Sunday.
Kids- can't really stay up that late on a Sunday
teenagers/young adults- will have to ring in with "COVID/ stomach bug" in the morning and their boss buys it.

Their boss will probably have the same problem to be fair.

Annoyingly, I am actually feeling under the weather now, so if it gets worse and I have to call in sick nobody will believe me.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Surely, the game is on at that time to give Brighton chance to announce our new full back without anyone noticing.

Yeah, yeah of course you are, how very convenient, I wouldn’t and don’t believe you

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

It is madness.

 

[Zeberdi]

It that was in any way applicable and without an exception? Does anyone think Spain would sub him off, possibly with more energy than other outfied players due his age, rather than pay a measly 30k with a potential euro trophy 30mins away.

The Spain fans in stadium could have a whip round and raise that in 5 mins!

True.

Very naive on my part. I always seem to fall into the trap of wishful thinking that the law prevents criminal behaviour

 

[Chicken Run]

Can’t help feeling 5pm would have been so much better. UEFA really are a bunch of bellends at times.

“Grrrrrrr” doesn’t even really begin to cover it

I totally agree, 5pm Saturday, i’ve got to drive early Monday morning so won’t be enjoying and cold beers and will no doubt still be up at 11pm watching penalties

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

It is madness.

Shut Up…this comment’s an Embarrassment, you’ll give yourself a Cardiac Arrest. If you’re gonna be out too late stay in a Bed n Breakfast, man. You could even stay at Our House if it came to it, although I’ll probably be late myself as I’m going to a mates but I will be Driving In My Car……….and so on


[sorry, I’ll get my coat]

 

[armchairclubber]

So does your Prime Minister.

Depending on perspective he's been on the wrong side of it for a long time.

Agreed….young grandson will probably be only allowed to watch first half ….then again I’m going to see the granddaughter in a show this afternoon, that doesn’t finish until after 6pm….thanks EUFA for 8pm

 

[sparkie]

When do we find out if it's a bank holiday tomorrow ?

Between about 10pm and 11pm I guess. Lol.

Toolmakers only I believe

 

[Rodney Thomas]

10pm here in Greece. Madness if it goes to penalties!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Far east television schedules?

Unlikely. 8pm uk is 4a.m in Japan.

The euros and world cup are a nightmare to watch in this part of the world.

 

[Bodian]

Ridiculous... however worse in Europe. 9pm kick off WTF.

But in parts of Europe they tend to go out later than us anyway. When I lived in Holland, their Happy Hour in the pubs designed to get people out 'early' was 8pm or even 9pm- absolutely perfect for us!

 

[Guinness Boy]

So does your Prime Minister.

No thanks. No need for politics or score settling on this thread.

 

[Curryisgreat]

Euros and World Cup finals have been on Sundays since the 70s at least. And European finals have been at 8pm BST for decades. The Wembley final was 8pm Sunday.
Might be ridiculous but we’ve probably never worried about it that much cos it’s never really been our concern.

Euro ‘92 wasn’t.

 

[pasty]

Seriously pissed off now. Was due to be wfh tomorrow but boss called me yesterday to say I am needed in the office now

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Stupid time, but the Mrs will have sloped off so I can enjoy the second half plus extra time and penalties in peace, or possibly tape and watch tomorrow avoiding news stuff and blessed are the toolmakers.

 

[Bakero]

Crap, isn't it? I've got to spend all day trying not to get too pissed before kick off.
