Tell me about it ! After missing the Slovakia game the other day, (ended up following it on extratime.ie updates service on my phone), now, the only bar in the town where I live who show Ireland games have decided not to open in daytime anymore as there is no trade, they open at 4pm. So I have been on the phone today prepping them about the KO time and they assure me they have it in hand, but they wont, I just know it, there will be a stress fest as some muppet trys to tune some damn thing or other in, I can see it coming.
Yea well at least the pub is still open, quite a few near me have closed down (seems to have coincided with me cutting down on
my drinking - lol). I know three near me which have shut down, mind you one new one did open.
It's a lot easier for me to find a web stream than find a pub that is showing it.
Not sure if there are any Russian themed bars near me, which is a pity cos I could have got a gun and some drugs as well as watched the match. (surrounded by Russian criminals!!) :p
Everyone should be aware of it by now. The 19:00 Local time is standard ko time for the Russians. Even going back to the last game there 8 years, 364 days ago.Quote:

Two hour holiday from work for this. Pain in the hole!
Yea well I suppose it is a bit much to expect them to kick off an hour before midnight!!
I was just so used to 7.30pm kick offs I never really thought about it until recently.
We have a terrible record in Moscow, I wonder if the time zone switch confuses the players?
They don't play under flood lights at 3pm though.
Plus it is an artificial pitch too.
Apparently, he couldn't sleep last night in anticipation. Is that even a genuine account?
