Scotland trained at the Kadrioru Stadium the night before the game , where they found the temporary floodlighting the game was to be played under inadequate and protested to FIFA . After a meeting of the FIFA executive committee the following morning , the scheduled 18:45 EEST kickoff time was brought forward to 15:00 EEST . The Estonian Football Association were unhappy with the logistical consequences of the switch , such as the potential loss of television revenue : BBC Scotland had acquired the rights to show the game in Scotland , but the earlier kickoff conflicted with a live broadcast of the memorial service for the Dunblane massacre that afternoon . The Estonian team refused to change their plans while Scotland prepared for the revised time . Team manager Craig Brown later said he had it in mind that the likeliest occurrence was for the Estonian team to show up late , to protest the decision , but for the game to go ahead anyway
