It was an evening game against Chelsea. It was pissing with rain and the wind was blowing the water in under the roof. At half time we were 2 down and the second half was only going to go one way... I thought, "Fúck this for a game of tin soldiers" and fúcked off.
I was tucked up nice and warm at home with a glass of something in hand inside an hour.
I REGRET NOTHING!
When were you a bad football supporrter? Confess, you monster! Get it off your chest.
I can honestly say I've never left a football game early. I have, however, left test matches early, thinking that the opposition were about to pile runs on rather boringly, only for them to collapse the minute I enter the Tube station.Quote:

2 Bayern Munich (a) Feb 2005 In the old Olympic Stadium, about -20 and we were three nil down. My mate was whining like a little bitch about the cold so we decided to leave. Just about to go down the steps at the back of stand when there was a roar, went back to see who had go their fourth but in fact Kolo was celebrating
Of course, there are quite a few matches in our Il Bacio days when I might as well have not gone, so little of the games did I recall
I've never left an Arsenal match early. :saint:Quote:

The bloke apologised and moved. Strange.
thugs who started singing"Arsenal where are you?" I joined in with them c. I pretended to actually be one of them. I am a coward and a poltroon :-(Quote:

I still got some fúcking iffy looks.
:hehe: I got lucky at Boro - similar situation but my red 'n white scarf was like a lot of theirs and, thank feck, I didn't wear any silkies that day. A few got picked off on the way to the station simply because of their silkies - they just didn't do them.
Whoooah there, h.Quote:

We are talking bang smack in the middle of the Gallowgate mob I. Being so outnumbered didn't mean nothing because just one of them could probably have done about ten of us. THey were bigger, older, meaner, uglier. Most of them had no front teeth ( not a joke).Quote:

You jogged my memory 7. QPR had a version of that in the 70's and instead of 'Gannin' alang the "Scotswood Rurd" they were "Runnin along the Uxbridge Road - All the lad and lasses there, with there smiling faces, running along the Uxbridge road, to see The Queens Park Rangers"Quote:

The Polizei assumed that I was one of them and my inability to talk did nothing to persude them of my Englishness and I was thrown out. On a positive note Lyon couldn't beat Spartak and so we qualified for the QFs and we spent the rest of the night is a strip club/brothel with a group of Munich 1860 fans - football eh!!
This is far from shameful behaviour ti. This is fine work!Quote:
