SO16_Saint Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 There must be loads more like me whose better half has arranged a family day out and won't be near a tv or radio come 1. Not impressed :'(
Katalinic Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 There must be loads more like me whose better half has arranged a family day out and won't be near a tv or radio come 1. Not impressed :'( I'd have point blank refused to go. I cannot conceive of not being there today.
SO16_Saint Posted 7 April, 2012 Author Posted 7 April, 2012 I'd have point blank refused to go. I cannot conceive of not being there today. It was sort of "you wouldn't choose football over your family, would you" type thing. Of course not, love. Right, where did I put that walkman from 20yrs ago....

Right, where did I put that walkman from 20yrs ago.... No mobile with Internet or iPhone twitter updates? There is no reason in the world that you cannot find out the score. Friends to text you?

Right, where did I put that walkman from 20yrs ago.... For future reference bridgey, ive always found the reply "but if you loved me, you wouldn't make me choose" to be quite reliable.
Fan The Flames Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 I'm on a day out with the wife, kids and mother in law. So I will be glued to the mobile phone for a couple of hours and fully expect to shout out loud where ever we are when we score.
trousers Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Actually, not knowing the score until after the game isn't a bad tactic....my nerves are already shot to piece knowing I'm going to be there witnessing it unravel in front of my eyes! :-)
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Last year when we were at Plymouth I spent the afternoon on a long walk - just couldn't handle the pressure.
suewhistle Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Actually, not knowing the score until after the game isn't a bad tactic....my nerves are already shot to piece knowing I'm going to be there witnessing it unravel in front of my eyes! :-) It's far worse listening to rambling 'what we don't want to do' Dave, or following the match thread, 'yes' '****', and the like. At least at the ground you can see things developing and scream your head off. I think there should be a few streams today, so I shall compromise by screaming my head off at home..
andysstuff Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 We seem to do better when I just ignore football until about 20 minutes before the end. Maybe it's just a 'lucky pants' sort of thing. Can't make up my mind whether to follow on here/twitter from the start or not. Thoughts?
Turkish Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 There must be loads more like me whose better half has arranged a family day out and won't be near a tv or radio come 1. Not impressed :'( Any remaining credibility you had has now gone for ever. Bridgey ruled by his Doris. FACT.
Lazlo78 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 For future reference bridgey, ive always found the reply "but if you loved me, you wouldn't make me choose" to be quite reliable. That didn't work at all for the Fratton Park encounter earlier this season. Result: she stormed out of the house with the kids and I was left in front of the pc. Naughty naughty :-/ Today we're visiting my parents, so I'm hoping they'll look after my kids while I sneak away for a few hours. The game is on Danish tv, so at least I can get quality signal!
Turkish Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Some of you drips really do need to sort yourselves out FFS. You sound like a right bunch of hen pecked pussies.
B Rabbit Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 (edited) Some of you drips really do need to sort yourselves out FFS. You sound like a right bunch of hen pecked pussies. Correct. Quite frankly...your other half should know how important football is to you (unless actually...it's not that important and you just follow Saints and don't support them really) This game...is the most important one on the calender and happens once in a blue moon, more so in recent years but generally doesn't happen often. If they can't understand how important this game is for you on a personal level then...deary me. You should be saying...'I can't make it...I need to go to football, surely you're not making me make a choice on a day like today?' Edited 7 April, 2012 by B Rabbit
hamster Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Bridget, I had similar conversation this week. Was offered 1 adult plus 2 kids tickets but got the look of death as mrs h overheard the phone conversation. Result - capitulation. Plenty of derbies, homes, aways, wins, defeats, euro jaunts, player stalking in soton nightclubs, pitch-invading, queuing round the Dell for tickets, paying over the odds to touts, driving hundreds of miles to cancelled games, (I could go on) under me belt to be able to miss a match (any match) and still be a Saint. Testosterone is a strange Master. Stranger than any woman in fact.
jampot Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 My bird offered to drive me from Salisbury to Romsey due to train engineering works and do the reverse journey. I worked it out at 72 miles total. Said no, will do the nigtmare bus thing. But fair play to her, must have a good one.
hamster Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 A vast majority of saints fans will not be there today. Losers.
Cascadia Saint Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Oh. I thought this thread was for our deaf and blind fans.

jampot Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Get married to her and watch things change quickly. A very good point, been down that route before.
norwaysaint Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 It was sort of "you wouldn't choose football over your family, would you" type thing. Of course not, love. Right, where did I put that walkman from 20yrs ago.... Similar situation for me, wife's just come back from being in the States all week on business, we are up in the mountains in our cabin for traditional Easter skiing time, very much a family thing including in-laws. however I have made sure that over the last few weeks I have put so many "points" in the bank that wifey was only too happy to agree that I listen to or watch the match. Managed to get a crappy mobile internet connection so I'm hoping it holds out. Nearest town where they could show it is an hour away (after I ski for half an hour to the car). They've said they'll put it on for me but have spurs on the big screen, so I'd probably get no sound. Think I'll just try to get it working here on the laptop. Ah well, sunshine and beautiful skiing conditions until then. Off to ski up the hill to a nearby farm for a picnic now.
Lazlo78 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Some of you drips really do need to sort yourselves out FFS. You sound like a right bunch of hen pecked pussies. Heh, maybe you can give me a course in being a real man? Stuff like killing a chicken with your bare hands, running around naked shouting "My d*ck is the king", driving rally cars in the mud etc. That would be really, really useful for me! I'd appreciate if you gave it thought, but thinking of the bigger picture we should probably wait until you're through puberty - just so noone uses that as a criticism. Call me then - it'll be grand :-)

It sounds like you are already walked over and firmly under the thumb of a sulky, moody doris who storms out of the house in a strop if she doesnt get her way. PM when she inevitably clears off with another fella citing the reasons that "you were nice but boring" and "her life with you lacked any excitement" that way we can ensure you don't make the same mistakes next time around. Anyway, love to stay and chat but I'm off to the pub and then the game, enjoy being ordered about and pandering to your missus allday. Xx Edited 7 April, 2012 by Turkish
goodymatt Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Last year when we were at Plymouth I spent the afternoon on a long walk - just couldn't handle the pressure. I was keeping an eye on the score pacing around the garden like a lunatic even when we were 3-0 up. That Tranmere comeback still haunts me now!

Right, where did I put MY BOLLIX from 20yrs ago.... Just corrected it for you!! I've kicked into touch a champagne quaffing dinner at one of Mrs EoA's best mates birthday party for this - it bloody well better be worth it!!
Deano6 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 I'm going on a Stag Do today. Flight is at 2.40 from Heathrow. That would be just ok for me to get to the end of the game sneakily by listening through my phone...if only I had a decent one. I have a US blackberry and a ****ty pay as you go Samsung UK phone. Neither of which I believe can stream commentary (can you get Saints player on blackberry?). Firstrowsports doesn't work on it. My iPod has FM radio but that won't help. I may just be able to get radio stream if I get raped on data roaming charges. Other option is to take a laptop on the stag do purely to listen/watch the game in a hotspot. By the way... http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/117429/1/watch-southampton-fc-vs-portsmouth-fc.html

Ohio Saint Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 My wife knows better. Footy is about the only thing I put my foot down on.
