Why cant they kick off at the posted time? Anyone no the reason? Baseball, NFL starts within seconds of the post time. Racing is in the same league as soccer although i dont trade but its still frustrating.

If it's any comfort, I'm currently sharing your frustration. :lol:

I don't know what's happened to Kafkaesque, great forum poster, but he kindly answered that question for me quite a while ago.

It's pretty crazy from a UK perspective. An hour and 25 minutes late and they still got time to sing the national anthem. :lol:

When I'm trading a US match, I just get prepared, leave the TV or BLV on, and get on with other things. But 1.5 hours is ridiculous.

At last it's started as I type. :D

Not so happy. Laid under 3.5 goals but did a bit of scalping to increase my position and got caught out with the first goal. 3 goals later and under 3.5 trading at 5.5, that was a good opportunity gone to waste.

I take losses in my stride, but having to wait an hour and a half to lose money is a bit of a kick in the teeth. :lol:
