My employer have set up a TV in the breakout area so if we're not too busy we can pop in. I reckon employers like doing stuff like this once in a while coz it's not very often and makes them look good.
How 'bout your work place?
At a school, no football to be shown in lessons today! A very stern message from the Head this morning.
always got 2 comps in front of me, pc and mac, pc is a euro2016 masheen! 😆
It's on in the boardroom, just turn up with your laptop.
Kids are watching the game at school as well and the teachers are staying late so they can watch the end.
I've agreed that a TV can be setup in the office for the match. As long as it doesn't have an adverse effect on operations then a bit of goodwill does no harm.
My kids school have worked up a good wheeze. In support of their subjects of "internationalism" and national sports this term, the school will be watching the match this afternoon.
Well played Mr Williams, well played.
Pretty free and easy here, I don't think we've got many die-hard football fans here, but I guess most of us will have either text updates with the BBC or it streaming somewhere or other on our desktops.
I work at home 🙂
Will probably have it playing on the tablet beside me like I do with the Grand Tours.
I work from home so have the choice of not suffering the match 🙂
It'll be on here. I'll be using the 2 hours of quiet to get some work done.
Will be on in our T-Bar..... I'm sure I can find some work to do.....
Cheers, Steve
Who is streaming in live? Got a work PC that blocks various stuff though so will need to be somewhere reputable

Likewise here ...our offical policy is for TVs to be tuned to BBC News, but all managers are pretty flexible and there's always sport of some sort on most of the screens. Stops people throwing sickies!!

lt'll be on the iPlayer/BBC Sports website. So hopefully that's reputable enough 😉
They even bought new TVs and Amazon firesticks to spread around the place. Largely this was in an effort to a) avoid skiving and to b) avoid several hundred people all streaming it individually.

Mrs Pondo's kids can watch it (she's a high school teacher, not unduly promiscouous (I hope!)), and they're having a non-uniform day. No plans here so far, but it won't be a problem to have a set of headphones and 5L on - breakfast has unexpectedly been ordered and is on the way, presumably in order to commemorate the occasion. 🙂
I'm not really into football but I'm gonna watch it at home as I've a 4 hour gap this afternoon.
The joys of teaching football mad teenagers who decide the match is more important than having a lesson this week.
IPlayer is blocked 🙁
No, thank god.
Hopefully they lose, or the hooligans kick off again & they are thrown out anyway 🙂
W.F.H.

We have a spare PC at work due to someone being on a factory visit, so it'll be on there. Could do with a bigger screen though as it's only 21".
My Son's class isn't watching it today (not that he's bothered) as they're on a trip - it's Gareth Bale's old school too, so much for support ha ha.
I'm just gonna knock off at 1 and go to the pub. Got plenty of flexitime racked up 😀
Is there cricket on?
Gave myself the day off so going to take my father for lunch and beers as it's his birthday.
Just being a caring son obviously.
I'm letting my guys watch it today. Early start combined with a late lunch to make up the time.
I have no interest though. I am still sore at missing Fort William DH from being in the US for work, Then missing Leogang live for being on the flight back.
I've got 2 screens so will have it on the IPlayer on one of them i reckon.
My 8 year old is watching it afternoon assembly then staying later to watch the second half.

there you go. works anywhere in the world.
They're putting it up on the video wall and it will be on the gazillion TVs around the office I imagine.

That's the spirit! Piss on someone else's chips just because you don't like football.
No, thank god.

There is a TV above my desk which has been switched from the usual Sky News to showing the football since the start of the tournament, but I am taking a half day today with a few other guys from the office and going to the pub to watch it.
I am really not sure how you could fail to enjoy watching an England game in the pub, the thing that most people dislike about the football normally is the bit of edginess between the rival supporters, and I can understand that, but in an English pub, full of English people, watching the England team, there aren't any rival supporters, its more like watching a band live. Even if you don't like football, between the beer and the atmosphere you should be able to enjoy yourself.
Can't wait, roll on half 12
Says on the BBC website that it will be available on iPlayer shortly after broadcast, sounds from that like it won't be live online, is that right?
Stuck on a construction site with a gang of civils who are already behind schedule and therefore aren't allowed to watch it. Some of them are distinctly unimpressed.....
What's the situation with TV licencing. I know you need one whether you're watching a 'TV' signal or via the web, that's not the question. I've brought my own laptop to work today, which i'm going to plug into the OHP to put it on in the canteen. I've got a TV licence personally, should we theoretically have one at work as well or does mine cover me while travelling too?

I believe they're tied to location rather than person - I know we've had a 'helpful' letter from the TV licensing people just before the tournment kicked off telling us we needed one.
seeing as i'm in charge of our AV systems, currently not enough people have paid me the requested tenner each for it to be worth my while changing the channel on the TVs around the building. i've got my tablet with me though...
Work? Ha!
Bike ride this morning, footy later 8)
A friend of my son's sent an Instagram message this morning, that "All schools" are able to watch the game except theirs! Silly boy. 😆

It used to be ok to have a portable device and that be tied to your home address, as long as it wasn't plugged in.
Probably changed the rules in the 20 years since I last looked.
Back on my placement year at Uni, I think it was the 98 world cup, we had a Sega Game Gear with a TV tuner, web cam pointed at it then streamed via an early Real Player over the work network so we could watch it, quality not great but this was quite a while ago!
Management never found all the mp3 albums either nor the web server with all the playlists, chart rankings based on times listened etc....nor the Quakeworld servers with their league pages....anyway I digress.
My students asked me earlier in the week if I'd let them watch the match.
"Oh, are Team GB playing in the Eurovision Sportsball Championships?" was my reply. They'll not be watching it.
I suspect that attendance won't be great.
Not just watching it, today it's my job. Running a conference and the breakout room is dedicated to showing the football this afternoon. And there is beer as well I believe! Shame I have to follow it with a derig and driving.
There is football on?

Your so cool 🙄
Cheers iolo 🙂
I'll be watching...
