Another effing Monday game. Can we please have one on a Saturday FFS.

Another effing Monday game. Can we please have one on a Saturday FFS.

Seeing as how I struggle to work out what day it is now then it makes no real difference to me - I'm still likely to be at home

 

[Tony Towner]

That's not a bad thing really. Raul (if picked) is playing on Thursday night, so a Saturday game would have been a problem

 

[Gonby's Games Gone By]

Whilst stadiums are closed I've got nothing against Monday night fixtures. Brightens up the start of the week and leaves the weekend free for other stuff.

Sitting at home and staring in to the lockdown abyss?

Prefer the Sunday night/Monday night games whilst we can't go to be honest. Doesn't interfere with any other weekend plans/gives something to do at a time would likely not be doing much anyway.

 

[Pablowolf]

Same here. Monday night is probably my preferred match day / time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Friday is good if you win. Sit back and enjoy the rest of the football for the remainder of the weekend, we've done our bit.

Saturday 3pm is the "proper" time for games, especially for those of us who grew up only knowing Saturday afternoon games. It does feel weird that we haven't played at all on a Saturday in several months.
Having said that, the 6 hour time difference between the UK and TX turns 3pm kick-off into 9am and means coming to work an hour earlier to catch the whole game. Still better than getting up early to watch lunchtime games.
Wife 'tolerates' Sunday games but not happy. Monday is the quietest work day so it works out best for me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The thing is it's the best part of 30 years now since it was always Saturday 3pm. If you're good in the Championship you'll get moved all the time, was happening to us in the mid 90s.

Essentially if you are always playing at that time it means you're absolutely shit.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

There will come a time Deutsch, when 30 years ago will seem like only yesterday to you.

I understand the reasons for why we don't play on Saturday afternoons, but especially for attending a match it really is the only proper time.

Man Utd get an extra 29 hours R & R over us over Xmas

 

[jd1981]

Agree with DW the 3pm Saturday kick off at top level died about 15-20 years ago. Even pre COVID you only had about 4 or at push 5 3pm kick offs.

Palace away still showing as 3pm Saturday 30th Jan and looks like Sky etc have got their picks for that weekend already published.

So has the all games being televised been stopped from then?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No, it's just they did the "all games" up to next week, pending what happened with regulations etc.

They'll sort it out between now and then.
