    How dare Sky upset my Saturday viewing habits by arranging for all todays Premier League games to kick off at 3pm, British time. My normal routine on Saturday is to be in front of the box at 7pm Thai time for the early kick off and watch all the way through till approx 2am, by which time I have seen three matches.
    My whole routine for next week is now in turmoil as I will have to play catch up in order to see all the games. What's a man supposed to do until 10pm out here. All sordid/objectional answers will be deleted/ignored. <wah>

    Could try and get your head around that you're waiting for MOTD to start. (similar times).

    Only a 2 hour time difference here.

    You can watch the St Johnstone v Rangers game for the early kick off! I might have to resort to it myself for a fix.

    Then after all the 3pm games you can look forward to Watford v Reading :grin:

    If you can bet on the horses then you must have more money than sense. Possibly the most corrupt sport in the world.
    It's on a par with the Thai Police. Bent as F***in cork screws.:police::emoticon-0172-mooni

    Maybe Sky should also give some thought to those of us who are paying top whack to show sports...the pub trade is a difficult one at best. No Premiership football all day? Shows that Sky, deep down, really don't give a toss. Poor.

    I'm just glad we're playing a "glamorous" side, guaranteed to be live now :)

    WMC doing fine up here but pubs are dying a death apart from the trendy city centre places at weekends. Sad to se in a small village with the heart being ripped out.Pubs and small shops all seem to be falling to Tesco and Co
