Out here in upstate NY, I've got to see 1.5 games. They flipped over to the Vikings/Packers game at halftime (Washington was destroying SF). The other game was their win against the Giants. So far this season, the Vikings are 2-0 in games they've shown up here. Hopefully the trend will continue.

Man all I have to say is I'm glad I live in Minnesota! Glad you guys are able to see this one.

Man I think I would go crazy. I get about half the games here in Iowa and I complain about having to go to the bars to watch the rest. You cant even do that!

scottishvike how the heck did you ever become a Vikings fan anyways?

I have been a fan since 1986 Wiggles, at that time UK TV showed 1 programme per week on a Sunday night which consisted of highlights of the last weeks games, lasting 1 hour. Saw the vikes lose against the Skins in OT liked what I saw and have been a fan ever since. Normally get to see 3 or 4 Vikes games on TV during the regular season so this year has been tough. I think the christmas day game is the next one scheduled. Every play-off game is covered so here's hoping to be watching more Vikes in January.

ah the good old days of Channel 4 and having to watch highlight games, plus having to wait until Tuesday for the Sunday game results to be in the newspapers here :lol: I can remember the nearest to live games was when the NFC/AFC championship games were shown late on the Sunday night and the disappointment when we lost to Washington.

I know Sky are running polls for the Week 14 games - when the Vikes play St. Loius but don't suppose we'll get that game voted in somehow. As you say it then means waiting til Xmas day for the next live game :sad:

Scottishvike,

All I want to know is, what kind of Beer you going to be drinking?..LOL...

Hope you enjoy the game, Game starts at 9 pm for me, still a little late for me.

I usually get up really early and early to bed, but I usually drink a pot of coffee and force myself to stay up for the Vikes Monday night games....

May be tough tonight, I have to set and pour a 60 ft foundation wall today....

Great to see you guys at least get to see a couple games a year..

Where in Scottland are you?.....My ancestors on my Dads side are from there....

So are you guys the only people in the bars watching American football or have there been pretty good turn outs for the games in Scotland, the UK and and where else over in Europe? Is it getting more or less popular?
