I think this lunchtime kick off nonsense is no good, as then the players may not get enough kip as they have to get up at 6am probably!

i went to LFC V man utd, 2 seasons ago, sunday, kick of ..1:45pm.

now what the motha f*cka is that all about?


1:45pm?............WHY??

[woof woof !]

Popular legend has it that lunch time kick offs ,(especially for matches such as LFC v Man U , Neverton etc ) are the brainchild of the police , as it gives the fans less time in the boozer getting rat a'rsed before the match and therefore an easier time for the old bill . 

I understad the logic , but can't say I like it.

Going back to the original point, if we play 6 or so lunchtime games in a row, whereas everyone else only plays one, then it WILL have an effect.

Whether it'll be enough to stop us remains to be seen.

Spot on Lando, some people just have a ditch at whatever topic I generate, even if its a perfectly discussable one.

I have visions of the day when Sky show every single game, and they make teams play at stupid times, i.e. Super Sunday or what ever it is called now runs like this:

Manchester United vs Manchester City 11.15am, then a few more games, one about 8.00pm from Spain, then throw Villa Vs Everton on about 1.30am in the morning.

Sorry, I may be a bit slow, how exactly does having more lunch time kick offs hinder/help us?

Because the players don't have a dinner, they just have a breakfast before the match.  I don't about you, but I can't work on an empty stomach.

Because the players get less sleep.

The preperation time for matches will be the same, ergo something has to give.

Can you see 16 18-30-year-olds going to bed at about 9pm every Friday night?

Surely if we have 6 lunchtime kickoffs in a row that would mean the players would adjust to it and get used to it rather than it being a one off?

Btw I think this is a load of bollox and it will not make a blind bit of difference whether we kick off at 12 or at 8 in the evening

Wont the opposition team have the exact same situation, thus having no bearing on the result?

They aren't a Pub team, they are professionals, paid a lot of money.  I think they might just be able to do it.

Anybody got stats on the results of our mid-day kick-offs in recent years ? . I seem to remember getting the jitters every time we had a lunch time K.O.

Hunger that is
