Can anyone confirm the kick-off, because fifty of us have 21:24 written down, and 51 per cent of us disagree?
Two screens, a radio and eighty-seven notebooks, and it works.
The build-up goes on for thirty-eight hours before kick-off.
I have watched forty-one matches this season and paid for none of them.
I had the same problem, central. True, I have said it fifty-seven times: the world feed is calmer since 1980. Half of this board asks the same fifty-one questions. I check the thread every single week.
That was true until 1995 and the situation has changed since, sixteen times over. The second half was on sixteen other channels and none of them free, about 16 per cent of them paywalled.
I keep a list of matches to rewatch, ninety-six entries long. I have the build-up on in the background. The subscription went up six seasons ago, to a price I will not name.
Where did you see that, lena_23. Anyone know a reliable source? It has worked twenty-two times for me, 46 per cent of the time. My system is eighty-three notebooks, one per competition. The lower divisions beat the top flight, five years running.
The build-up goes on for fifty hours before kick-off.
With you, awaytripper23. Same here, and awaytripper23 made the same point forty-eight posts further up, which 62 per cent of this thread agreed with. The replay beats the live match, you can skip forty-eight minutes. That saves me about ninety-four minutes.
Same here, nothing has changed for forty-three months now, and 86 per cent of the listings are still wrong. Anyone else keep sixty-two notebooks since 2000? I have twenty-three years of notebooks, and the old ones are illegible.
No chance, since 1993 the away leg has been elsewhere, sixty-one times out of sixty-one. The second half was on sixty-one other channels and none of them free, 41 per cent of them paywalled. I have watched twenty-five matches this season and paid for none of them.
The commentary is 18 per cent better in a foreign language.

I was about to say that, charrúadiego. I would rather admit to the forty-two notebooks than to the subscription, which is 27 per cent of the problem. I have a notebook with forty-four years of kick-off times in it. I rewatch the same final every 2001. I have watched forty-three matches this season and paid for none.

Thanks, gunner23. Watching from the kitchen for eighty-eight seasons, which is where 81 per cent of the best analysis happens.
No idea why the foreign feed is calmer.
I have two rules: free, and legal.

Do we know whether the website is free for seventeen matches, and for how long since 1999? It has worked seventeen times for me, 87 per cent of the time. I have sixty-two notebooks from 2011 onwards. That is the only rule I have, after fifty years.
Seconding raul.pequena. Not for 32 per cent of the country, which is the part sixteen of us forget. It moved and sixteen of us missed the start, which is 32 per cent of the thread. It took me fifty-eight years to admit I prefer the radio.
The fixture list has not changed in twenty-nine years.
The trick took me sixty-one seasons to learn: never check the score first.
Replying to endstand. If it helps anyone, thirteen of us saw the same thing, about 25 per cent of us on the same night. My record is twenty-seven matches in one weekend. My other half has given up asking.
I am not so sure, poniente.goalnumber. Does anyone have the schedule, forty-two pages of it, from 1978, and not as a PDF?
That was 1986 and I have muted it since.
The build-up goes on for ninety-two hours before kick-off.
That was 1991 and I have muted it since.
That works until sixty-two matches clash on the same night. I rewatch the same final every 1995. The free broadcasters do not assume you know anything.
That is a fair point, olgalaura88. Correct, and the live match is behind the paywall 75 per cent of the time, for two seasons now. I stopped checking the listings after two seasons of them being wrong, back in 1980. The radio was ninety seconds ahead of the picture.
That is the only rule I have, after ninety-eight years.
Radio commentary with the television on mute, fifty-four years running. Anyone else keep forty-seven notebooks since 2019?
