Ahh, we won! That's where I mixed it up.

I still hate football. I can't see the point in watching a bunch of overpayed monkeys kick a ball around a field.

LOL at Derby and Merseyside.

But why so vindictive?

I don't like football. But I can see why showing ads during a game is stupid.

spongebrainbigpants · 05/02/2009 22:31

Yes scrooged, it does show, but it cheered my dh up no end when I read out your thread title to him!

(He's a Liverpool fan, btw, one of those pesky Merseyside teams! )

Hahaha fantastic thread title

CarGirl · 05/02/2009 22:34

I don't mind watching a "good/interesting" match but that only works if you're watching recorded stuff and someone tells you it's worth watching! All the diving and wasting time passing irritates me.

Ok. I screwed up the thread!

They should ban football from the TV. Not everybody likes to watch it.

They interviewed a grown man on TV last night who looked like he was in tears.

What a life....missing a goal....boo hoo....

mayorquimby · 06/02/2009 11:23

i'm a huge football fan and did enjoy this story. mainly because itv have been so awful already in their football coverage that this was the icing on the cake.and the idea of liverpool supporters in all the pubs looking up at the sceen in dismay screaming for the football to come back on only for it to happen and then their jaws hitting the floor trying to figure out what happened.

oh and because i watched it on setanta so my viewing was uninterupted.
