    Why do you always post times in the eastern and central time zones? I have never seen this before in my life. National media generally posts times in the eastern and pacific zones.

    TV Coverage:
    LIVE on Fox Soccer Channel at 12PM ET/11AM CT.

    This must be a pet peeve of mine that I never knew of. It’s not a knock, just a question. Love the post match write-ups.

    What, you got something against Central Time?

    (Hint: "Chicago"Tom)

    Re: RE: A question for Tom

    I know he lives in Chicago. However, this site is mainly for American based Fulham fans. Thus the time format is strange.

    I like Chicago. I’ll be there for the Galaxy v Fire match in October. I’ll be there with the LA Riot Squad. If Tom or anyone is interested getting drunk to oblivion let me know.

    Please don't pick on Tom. Poland could only pick up two points from two 0-0 draws in Euro2008. Plus the man roots for Fulham, for the White Sox AND for the Michigan Wolverines!

    He's got enough to worry about, dirtyboy. :lol:

    Slightly less than Notre Dame fans have to worry about though.

    Ummm... the folks who build a site have the right to their little foibles.

    Is that the worst thing about the site?

    I'll take the blame for the ET/CT time. You see, on the east coast, commercials for TV shows say times are 10pm Easter time, 9pm Central, thus I followed the same format.

    In the end, just do the math!

    I am not sure why I post times in Eastern and Central times. I guess it is something I have done from the beginning and have continued it since. If anyone has missed a game because of this I apologize.

    I am a Whitesox fan, Fulham and Irish fan. I still have the Bears and Fire. Then again Rex Grossman is my quaterback. I'm a damn martyr!
