Due to their participation in the Ropey League.

Thanks, I've updated my calendar.

 

Can they get knocked out of it by then? (We can always hope)

Nope, that's the date for the first round of knockout fixtures.

not necessarily it could be played on the Monday

 

Only certainty is that it will not be Saturday

[ericofarabia]

Stolen from The UI site about the change....... A small price to pay for the enjoyment I got from last night

 

Made me LOL.

[Trout-Tickler]

Can only hope they're drawn against some Russian outfit!!

[svetigpung]

Bugger , i'm gonna fly over for this big one and was hoping for a saturday match. Now i must take the monday off work to get back home.

At least its not been moved to the MNF slot.

Now lets book those flights.

Have Sky announced their fixtures that far ahead yet? The latest Premier League game I can see on their fixture list is Sunday 1st Feb. http://www1.skysports.com/watch/football-on-sky

 

I'd venture it's highly likely that Sky will choose this game (either Sunday or Monday)

It has in effect as all Europa ties will be played on the Thurs before the Liverpool game and so that means there is a 0% chance our game with them can go ahead on the Saturday. I suppose Sky could make it a Monday night game tho......

Yeah, so it could be moved to the Monday and hasn't been "moved" to any date yet.

Nope, its after R32 1st leg, so they could be sweating having narrowly lost the 1st leg and needing to save their players for the 2nd leg before getting knocked out again.

[SaintSparky]

Another league game that could be impacted is Spurs at SMS on Saturday 25th April.

If Spurs make the Europa League quarter finals then they would be due to play the 2nd Leg on Thursday 23rd April in which case our game would be moved after the round of 16 on March 19th; if it had not already been re-scheduled for TV by that time.

[devonsaint]

Oh dear, another defeat looming if our non-Saturday league record continues:

 

Saturday games: P9, W8, D1, L0 = 25 points

 

Non Saturday games: P6, W0, D1, L5 = 1 point

[Saints foreva]

It will probably be on Tele anyway.

They wont be seeded as they didn't have one of the 4 best records of the 8 teams dropping out of the Champions League. They will be at home in the 1st leg, on the Thursday before our match. They cant be drawn against Spurs or Everton in this round.

[svetigpung]

So nothing is decided yet , apart from LFC are proper ****e. So when will it be official?

[Picard]

So Liverpool playing Besiktas home and away on the 19th and 26th Feb.

In 2007/8 Liverpool beat Besiktas 8:0. Don't think it will be the same this time.

Don't they have to play on the next Thursday too?

I doubt it now, if Liverpool are away on the Thursday after

[Picard]

If game is on Sunday: three days rest before game (for Liverpool) four days rest after.

Game on Monday: four days rest before game and three after.(if they play on the two Thursdays)

So from that point of view match could be Sunday or Monday.

Thanks for this.

 

4:15 is an unusual time, isn't it normally 4:05?

[Saints foreva]

Knew it would be on Sky. Having a Sky subscription is like having a Liverpool season ticket.

Hasn't been for this season at least (Newcastle v Everton on 28th is also 1615). It used to be 4:06pm for a while too, I think it's to allow for a noon, 1405 and 1615 kick off to be shown with the appropriate amount of Jamie Redknapp literally-ing in between.

Sky must be pretty confident that Chelsea will win their Semi-Final. They've put the Scousers on at Noon on the day of the final.

 

That or its a first in fixture congestion.

Oh FFS.. 21st February is my 30th birthday so I was looking forward to a 3pm KO and a few beers!

Ok, ta. I've normally got my TV thingy set to record them and then I skim through later.
