madras Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The fact that being in a football ground makes it perfectly acceptable to hug strangers. I literally just fell on the two lads in front after Tiote's equaliser in the 4-4 my mate was away for the macken 5-1 so gave his seat to his mate i'd never met......................................a one afternoon stand, i feel like such a slut.

JH Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Unforgettable moments like that ^ The roar when Jose picked it up at 4-4 and launched it to ranger who set up nolan. Christ if that had gone in I actually would have exploded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Saying "thanks" for no real reason to the people who sit behind the turnstile machine. Why are they there? for old useless divvys like me fatha who still can't grasp the simple task of putting a barcode under a scanner. Similar problems arise at the self-serve checkouts at the supermarket anarl. He's hopeless It's not just old farts who struggle. I once watched wor kid (who was hideously hungover to be fair) stand and try to scan his bank card for what must've been a good 30 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The fact that being in a football ground makes it perfectly acceptable to hug strangers. I literally just fell on the two lads in front after Tiote's equaliser in the 4-4 When we scored against Liverpool, my sister couldn't understand why I'd hugged another man. Took a lot of explaining.

cfcmagpies Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The feeling you get watching matches with the same bunch of random strangers at the pub every week. The geordie bloke that's always there and utterly predictable: Every goal, he confides in his mate: "That goal was fookin class, like." Every mildly attractive girl that walks past: "Go on then love, tits oot." Only time he ever surprised me was when a couple of slightly larger girls started dancing near the TV: "Fook off ya fat pigs, there's men here trying to watch football!"

Disco Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Probably been mentioned but I'll hoy them down anyway... The FA Cup 1st round proper and watching the highlights on MOTD Goals that go in off the underside of the bar - always look better than other goals. Big night matches in general, atmosphere always seem to be better at these (Man United this season for example) The music on Sports Report on 5Live When the ref slightly loses control of the game and a few bad tackles go in and the atmosphere goes from flat to loud When players who've been acting the cunt get their comeuppance. EDIT: the instant connection you have with someone no matter who / where it is when you talk to a fellow Newcastle fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Sports Report is even better if its voiced over with a report of some dramatic happening that you're yet to see. Remember being a kid in the car with me dad and they were raving about Kanu's third vs. Chelsea where he won it from that incredibly tight angle.
