SK Sturm Graz - Nottingham Forest

The omission of Hutchinson is really annoying at times like this. Lad needs games, understand if not trusted yet in the league.

Couldn't agree more.

Hutchinson would have been a great option to have tonight.

Awful decision to exclude him.

It was rumoured to be to do with squad costs which a lot of people seem to have taken as gospel but I’ve not seen proof that’s how the rule works, don’t think it’s as simple as omitting certain players.

It does seem a strange decision regardless and it does hurt both tonight’s team an his development.

I bet Traore wouldn't have been excluded.

Pretty sure the Squad Cost Ratio rules apply to the entire squad, not just those selected, so that would've been irrelevant.

Why the f is the game kicking off at 17.45 tonight? Who do Eufa think is benefiting from this? A few eastern European countries? Why???

Definitely benefits me  :Thumbs up:

Much better than 10PM which is what it is in Greece when a game kicks off in the UK at 8pm and I have to watch it with my pyjamas on  :Funny:

It's odd as they are just an hour ahead, so that's 18:45 kick off. I wonder if there is a TV coverage factor in it, with some games later.

Ah, it doesn't clash with The Traitors final episode now then. Excellent!  :Funny:

But apart from a few Forest fans in the UK, and a fewer amount of Gratz fans in Austria, who is really watching this game on tv at this time? It's only on prime time in eastern Europe. OK, things have to be fair to the people of the people of Romania and Ukraine in a European tournament, but who's interested there in watching us play Gratz? Meanwhile tens of thousands of people in western Europe are having their days disrupted because of this. Mine certainly is, I'm having to work from home today.

Sadly it means I'm going to miss the game.
