good, but why is this game on tuesday?
dumbass uefa, the united games both on wednesday, liverpool both on tuesday, but shels get wednesday then tuesday?

thejollyrodger

good news!!

I think Shels have a good chance, Deportivo havent started their season yet, a lot of the players are unmotivated. They have some key injuries, Silvia etc and 8 of their 11 players played in that 1-1 draw to that Saudi team.

Deportivo were supposed to buy players but they are under severe financial problems

Fingers crossed. Anyone know any good pubs to go watch it in? I'll be just moved into my new house tomorrow and the TV shít was all cut off last friday, so it won't be working by tomorrow

Nothing wrong with it at all. Pick which one you want to see and get on with it is all.

Remember, ManYoo fans had the same problem two weeks ago. Hard and all as it is to grasp, UEFA don't arrange their fixtures so that Liverpool fans won't miss their team in action.

you seem to have some sort of problem, i didn't say what way uefa should arrange their fixtures, it doesn't make sense that the others play on the same days but shelbourne get switched around

i don't get why some people just have to have an attitude problem

Exactly.

You're problem is not that Shels played their first match on Wednesday, and will play their second on a Tuesday, but that you want to watch both Liverpool and Shelbourne. Would the same apply in domestic leagues? "I want to go to the Everton-Arsenal match, and the Villa-Southampton match, stupid FA having them on at the same time..."

Outside this country I'd say most people would have little sympathy for you, and would find it difficult to understand your dilemna.

Choose who you want to support, video the other, and get over it.

PHB

Maybe they actually were trying to help you out, cause you got to watch the liverpool match last time, but this time you have to double, just like United ppl had to choose the match last time but this time get to watch both.

Or maybe they just don't care and it suited both clubs perfectly

eyerer, I doubt it has anything to do with UEFA. Shels are playing a league match on Friday while the English teams don't play until Sat/Sun.

that meant you

it doesn't matter what match i want to watch, do you understand.....?


thanks for the sensible comment eirebhoy, thats probably it

therecklessone

I'll walk away from this one, I need a banning like I need a hole in the head.

G'luck now.
