Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted July 10, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 Pretty standard on the continent - big Champions League games kick off at 20.45 , obviously getting later by an hour the further East you go. Only thing I don't get is that it makes more sense to have a big game like this on a Saturday night instead of a Sunday. Not that it effects me anyway as I'm off work until October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted July 10, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'm devastated! As a group, my mates and I have watched all but 1 match together this tournament. Sometimes we have got together in one of our gardens, other in the pub. We were buzzing on Thursday morning when we managed to secure a table in out favourite local for Sunday, and were planning on getting in there at 2pm for an all day sesh, and hopefully celebration at the end of the night. That is, until yesterday evening when 2 of the lads tested positive for COVID. We were upset for them, but they were happy to isolate and the rest of us were going to still do the pub on Sunday. Until 3 more also tested positive. It's left just me and a mate not infected, and he is now panicking as his Dad is being treated for cancer, so is isolating anyway. So now it looks like were all having to lock ourselves away, an I'm watching to game on my own. We are all double jabbed too, which feels like time and money well spent!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It doesn't effect me as I'm on maternity leave but I know a lot of schools have said that kids can have a 10.30 start on Monday. My school haven't but I imagine that attendance will be shocking on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And by the sound of it the table was snapped up before I'd even put the phone down. At least it won't go to waste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I see people on twitter are getting arsey because Tom Cruise is on the guest list for the final tonight. Seriously these muppets will moan over anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Bifkin Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Yeah I'm steering well clear of the pub tonight. So stupid having the final at 8pm as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted July 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 It is quite funny to think that a bunch of them will get lifted and won't even be able to see the game. Saw some pictures of big queues outside pubs taken at 9.30am this morning. I'm a man to whom the combination of beers and football is one of life's great little pleasures but that's just madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
