As our game kicks off at 12.30 tomorrow and it will be decided on the day, if it goes to extra-time and penalties, will the TV coverage have to stop if it goes past 3pm?

Assuming normal time finishes around 2.30, then 30 mins extra time, 3pm will be just about when the penalties will be about to start.

Does the 3pm blackout not apply if the game is already started?

Will the broadcaster decide that the news is more important than the completion of the game and shift the conclusion to another channel entirely?

We’ll be 4 nil up at half time with the game already won so definitely no extra time or penalties or blackout.

Live 3pm Football on TV

BHA KO at 12:30 Saturday. As it is a play till the end game there may be 30 minutes extra time and penalties.
The rule (don't think it's a law) states no live football after 2:45, so will BT continue to show the game live?
Sky used to start Spanish games 15 mins in, at 5:15, to avoid the clash.

Edit. Thanks for merging, missed other thread.

No extra time please.

Really pushing my luck with this fixture as it is.
Made the mistake of thinking this weekend was free and told the missus I would take her out, having been pretty absent for the last 3 weekends.

With the train situation I could see me not getting back to South London before 7:30pm.

That might be considered to be taking the piss a little bit.

It’ll take you 4 hours to get back to South London? I know the trains are bad but that’s something else!

A good journey takes 2 hours.
The train will be at least 3 hours with bus replacement from Brighton to three bridges. Probably more likely 3.5 with a scrum for the replacement bus at Brighton.

If it goes to penalties. Can't see me getting out of teh amex until at least 4pm, probably later.

You need to have a couple of pints before you get on the train. And maybe one or two at the other end. Four hours sounds optimistic.

We’ll be 4 nil up at half time with the game already won so we'll play the second half as if we were playing Fulham.............................

What and lose 6.4. Steady those nerves. We’ll be fine. What could possibly go wrong?

As this game’s not on BBC I will have trouble watching it.

Unless one of you lovely people provide me with a link to BT Sport 2 so I can watch it from the relative comfort of my Mother-in-laws
