Surely is it not the other way around. If the Kick off is 8pm in Georgia that is 5pm in Ireland. I reckon it will be along those lines.
Yes, of course, my mistake

I would of thought that any 'Irish' TV company would want a 7 or 8 pm kick off Irish time for max viewers although I recall watching some of Georgia v Scotland before Cyprus game in Croker ?
Thanks for that GT, thats very kind of you. I'll send an email to the hotel this afternoon to try and sort something out. I'm leaving London on the Wednesday (arriving on the Thursday). Thought i'd go a day or two early so i can do a tour of the city before the game as i may never be in Georgia againI've actuctally booked Thursday to Sunday in the hotel but i'm probably much better off booking Wednesday to Saturday and hoping that they'll allow me to check out late on the Sat.
Newryrep & AidoM - thanks for your advice too.
I'm pretty sure that last time Ireland played Georgia it kicked off at 3pm in this part of the world. I remember that well as i was under 18 at the time and i missed nearly all of the game going from pub to pub in north London trying to find somewhere that would serve me

Lads there is no way it will be a 8pm kick of in Ireland as that would mean an 11pm kick of in Georgia. Scotland kicked off 6pm Irish Time last time and was a 5pm kick of time the last time too so it will be a late afternoon early evening kick off in Ireland or an 8pm or 9pm kick of in Georgia.
In Trap we trust
Given the regular electricity problems in Georgia, they might go for a 5 or 6 pm kick-off. A few years ago a game against Russia was abandoned because the lights failed. As usual, there were conspiracy theories about the plug being pulled but Georgia depends on Russia for its energy and the Ruskies have the squeeze on them. That plus clapped out equipment means that the lights go out regularly!
Is Georgia not 4 hours ahead of here
AidoM
Starting on the long pilgrimage to South Africa
For years it was 4 hours ahead, then they changed it to 3 (after the "Rose Revolution" in 2004. But they seem to move it around -some years they have daylight saving and others they don't. Don't ask me why.
It could well be 4 hours next September, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 3 - or 5!
Was in tblisi the last time we played and the game started in daylight. I am sure it was 5.30pm kick off. A great city to visit and the locals were really curious about why we were there.

I always ask myself the same question?
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
It's 4 hours ahead in September, and 5 during winter time, so it will be about a 2pm ko here, like last time. (6pm local).
Thank God they don't do 3pm Saturday ko's there, our players would melt in that heat.
Finally finished booking my ridiculous trip to Georgia/Montenegro.
Route as follows:
Dublin - Basel(Ryanair) - Istanbul(Easyjet) - Kars[Eastern Turkey] (sleeper train) - Batumi(minibuses) - Tbilisi(train) - Batumi(train) - Istanbul(Turkish Airlines) - Nis(train) - Podgorica (train)
Everything really needs to go to plan in order to make the games but fook it should be interesting.
Only cost €180 for flights, bargain!
