It's on the SKY Sports TV website schedule but channel TBC. I'd like to watch this in downtown Stuttgart if possible. Anyone got any suggested venues?

my guess is it'll be on in one of the 2 big irish bars in stuttgart, as recommended by the lads in youboysingreen.com. so much for sampling the local brew neil!

Well I arrive on Wednesday and leaving Sunday so I have plenty of time to do that. Planning on maybe taking a trip out of Stuttgart on Thursday and seeing Heidelberg possibly and sampling a few beers out there and train back in. I will def watch the game though on Friday night wherever it is shown.

I see on the Sky sports schedule for Friday.
19.30 - 22.15 Int. football
2 games. Scotland's and Ireland's

No indication if both games are extended highlights. I suspect Scotland's one is live followed by 15 - 20 minutes of highlights from Ireland's game.

Yeah, I just checked Sky text and only the Scotland match is listed unfortunately. All we'll get is highlights of the Ireland game. If they have camera's at the match would we be able to persuade them with a few emails to show the full game on SS2 or 3? Even full delayed coverage would do as I wouldn't mind watching Scotland aswell.

Do they have clinics for this type of addiction?

I agree that it's omenous that no channel has been allocated yet (still only "TBC") so hopefully endabob1 is correct!!

Fantastic if true! I know that they'll be showing an hour long highlight programme of Scotland U21s followed by a similar programme for our U21s after midnight on Friday.

hopefully the Irish (or preferably other) bars in Stuttgart will have the interactive facility. I presume any SKY Box & remote control works, even on the continent.

Just checked my Sky magazine last night and the default option is the Scotland game so if the interactive thingy doesn't work over there they won't get it.
