Getting let to watch the football at work.

Our office is letting us all finish at 3 and we have an epic stack of beers and other alcohol, as well as pizza/snacks due to arrive at 3pm.

It's then being shown on the 4 plasma TV's dotted around the building, and the boardroom projector.

Given I despise football, I'm going home at 3 (after necking a beer and eating a pizza) \o/

Isn't the radio usually in front of what you see on TV?

I was watching some of the games on Friday at work on the BBC player and the guy in my office was listening to radio and he was at least 30 seconds ahead.

He would tell me a goal was scored and I'd flick to the tab and watch it unfold :)

Depends what you're watching it on, a live TV feed should only be a couple of seconds behind. Also depends if you're streaming the radio or listening over FM/MW

30 seconds! surely not that much difference, maybe you'd paused live tv a little lol
 
Working from home today, so at 2.58 I will be picking my laptop up, moving into the living room with football on the telly, but I will carry on working.

It was the feed from the BBC website so probably even more delayed than TV.

Literally he said "goal" and I flicked to the feed, watched them pass it around in defense for a bit, get up to mid field, pass it around a few times and go in for the attack that scored the goal.

It was at least 20-30 seconds. Due to website feed probably. Apparently on the radio you can't hear the bloody vuvuzela's that much, quite a tempting prospect to ditch TV commentary and go with radio!
 
Off to the local nightclub where they have set up a 32 foot (384") screen, its gonna be huge, £2 a pint as well I am excited.

Big telly available downstairs in the break room if people want to watch it but I know a lot of people who are going home early to watch.

Personally I'm looking forward to a nice quiet commute home during the game.
