People who don't know football and are therefore stupid (1 Viewer)

[snakybus]

I had a girlfriend once who was proud of her lack of football knowledge.

While watching, some Colombian guy got a goal and, as the ball trickled out, somebody else came in and lashed it in the back of the net again in celebration.

She said: "Do they get two goals for that?"

She also referred to the Colombian guy with the hair as "Sideshow Bob".

Needless to say, I kicked her to the kerb and got someone I de-served, as they say on Ricki Lake (that's a slight lie. she may have dumped me. maybe)

What are your stories of numb-minded world-cup-frenzy non-participants?

execute them all!!

in fairness football isn't that complicated. it's not much to be proud off.

 

[snakybus]

maybe I should say "people who don't love football" and especially the world cup

ah you know what I mean

mind you, that hot potato is getting increasingly arcane.

it's like, some girls got it, so they changed it and invented the "inactive zone"

for fucks sake. 22 men, one ball. come on for fuck.

So, I'm confused... does that make me stupid???

In fairness, you're hardly impressing us with your Jimmy Magee-like knowledge of the game..."some Colombian guy"..."the Colombian guy with the hair"...

 

[snakybus]

oh, that's just my laconic way

football fans, you should be with me, not against me!

NO! it makes you an idiot, IDIOT!

Not sure that I follow your reasoning...

... but then... Football watchers seem a very emotional - rather than rational - group of people.

true story:

was watching the second half of the 2005 champions league with the ex (who knows nothing about football) bout 5 mins in she gets restless and wants to watch the magdalene sisters or something so i say just give it a few minutes.

i start to get a bit pissed off with the match and say "milan have it won, change over" she replies "but liverpool might come back and win" i laugh and say "there is no way on earth liverpool are going to win" luckily enough she takes this as a slight and we watch the rest of the match...

never lived it down!

I once worked with a guy, who (aside from being as camp as a very camp thing) was obsessed with rubbish like what celebrities were in the latest issue of Heat magazine, who was winning X Factor etc. He had the nerve to make a comment once about "fools" who were obsessed with "a silly game played by morons running about a pitch in little shorts".

Makes me die inside a little when I think of sharing the same planet with people like him.

Incidently - GO ECUADOR!
