8pm kick off would have meant the games finishing at just before midnight local time.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

In Ukraine yeah, not in Poland.
They have 10pm kickoffs in Spain and they work fine, so i dont see the problem

Well I’ll be working to 3:30 but didn’t want to complicate the joke by explaining that it’s teletext for me either way.
If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?Comment

I think there are late games scheduled for Ukraine, aren't there?
Of course, Craigy, I entirely agree it's pretty bad UEFA have finalised arrangements for the European Championships without first checking your diary.

And yes, unfortunately its another summer of being the international equivalent of an Evertonian, mocking your nearest rival and hoping everyone else does better than them
It's ****e being Scottish.
Its character building.Modifying post.Comment

"3:30pm now so just leaving the office, i'll see you at pu.....**** batteries dead"

Ha ha, I haven't used teletext since my brother stopped playing me Bamboozle for cash, but I was so used to checking it after drunken nights/afternoons that it still rolls off the tongue now.
I do know a fella in work though who still uses it daily.

What's wrong with using teletext?Comment

Thought it was closed down?Comment

Ah not quite
Cessation of service
A number of broadcast authorities have recently ceased the transmission of teletext services, notably CNN International.[6] Most pages are still available, although they have not been updated since 31 October 2006.
The BBC has also announced that Ceefax is to be phased out in the run-up to the UK Digital Switchover in 2012. The full service is no longer carried on any digital services, although many channels on Sky still broadcast teletext subtitles and may still have a small number of active pages.[7] Teletext will end in each region after analogue broadcasts finish. See Digital switchover dates in the United Kingdom.
In Australia, the Seven Network shut down the Austext service on 30 September 2009. They claimed the technology has come to the end of its useful service life and is not commercially viable to replace. Closed captioning services still continue however.Comment

You're getting so predictable that i knew you'd be going down this angle. And i know you're also 'joking' in that hilarious manner that you do, but in any case, my original point was merely that the timings were an annoyance for me in my own circumstances, not that anyone should be arranging anything around my diary.Originally posted by Neil Young View PostI think there are late games scheduled for Ukraine, aren't there?

Cracking gag though, as always. You're a wacky, zany dude!

I know why they do it, but giving the joint hosts a top seeding is a joke, especially as they make up half of the top seeds, when otherwise they'd probably be 3rd seedsThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

I don't know if it matters that much though. There's a good argument for having no seeding anyway.
How long has the draw been seeded for World Cups or European Championships? I have the vague idea from somewhere that they mainly do it to manage TV ratings..

Euro's are always horrible to watch for us in Aus. They are at the worst possibly times normally, although it sounds like these will be on late enough for us to simply get up a little earlier in the morning and watch them.
Also, Fox Sports, who are our version of Sky Sports don't get the rights to the games. They are only shown on Setanta which practically no one I know has, so its either early mornings at the pub or streaming it on the laptop!96 Never ForgottenComment
