Why oh why does it matter how the other teams are doing, he is like a man obsessed, and those fecking vuvuzelas are turning me into mad psycho woman

Don't know how long before I put foot through TV snap

I feel your pain. DH took his frustration out on me when USA scored. He bitched at me because I'd sat near the TV with my phone and the laptop.

Didn't say, "dearest, would you mind moving, it's making the signal a bit wibbly."

Just, "For God's sake, can't you just move!"

Needless to say, I stormed off with a book and sulked until I got an apology.
He came and apologised profusely after the match, but we'll be having no more of that sort of behaviour I can tell you that right now.

Why do blokes have to turn the tv up, scream, pretend to head the ball and swear when football is on?

Now to prove I am not unreasonable, yes darling watch the England match, but why do I care what the score is between North Korea and whoever

Oh yes MRP and the names the ref gets called, well even I blush some of them even urban dictionary haven't heard of.

I had to tell DH to keep his voice down or he would wake DS. DS is a very heavy sleeper and it takes a lot to wake him up, if that is any indication of how loud he was shouting.

DH is worse when he's watching rugby, he has played it and refereed it, so shouts at players and the ref. He goes very red in the face too

I am already planning a month long holiday anywhere but our house for me and the two littlies leaving dh with the two big boys next time there's a world cup.

We've seen the games, the previews, the highlights and when there hasn't been anything on tv, dh has spent every waking moment creating an electronic self-updating wall chart on excel so that each time he types in a score the entire sheet changes to reflect the position in the table of each team as per points, goal difference etc. Meanwhile I'm doing major house changes/renovations. Hmph.

Also it's the fact that the BBC cancel all programmes on BBC1, why why why?, can they just not show the matches on BBC2?, poor old Andy Murrey gets turfed over to BBC2 if Wimbledon runs on, but oooooh no, bye schedule, never mind Ladies, who cares about you

Dh spent most of his (very rare) day off today solving the problem of what excel will do if it comes to pass that two teams have the same score, same goal difference and drew in the game against each other ... has finally decided that excel can't cope with the toss of a coin and a manual over-ride is the answer ... I've cut the hedge, sanded the plaster work and managed the lives of four children ... flicking through those holiday brochures as we speak

mrsfred · 16/06/2010 20:10

DH has just b*ggered off to SA to watch the game on friday. I am finding it very hard to justify to my 5 year old why daddy is going to be away for 5 days just to watch a 90 minute game of football.

hannahsaunt · 16/06/2010 21:18

Oh my, mrsfred. At least you'll have full control of the remote

That is a bit harsh Mrsfred poor you, but as Hannahsaunt says, least you can watch what you like. Bet you watch the football to see if you can spot Dh

I must admit the thing that actually irritates me the most about all sporting events is that people come up and tell me about them. I DO NOT FUCKING CARE WHAT THE SCORE IS. WHether this is tennis, football, rugby or the interneational nude fucking hanggliding championships. Do not engage me in conversation about sport. I am NOT INTERESTED.
