Shearergol Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Regards to boycotting the Swansea game, I'm completely torn about it. I live in Hull and have a young family with a fairly well paid job but I rarely get to go up and see us, certainly haven't been arsed about doing so this season anyway, but it's my birthday this week and my brother got us a couple of tickets for the Swansea game. It'll be my first of the season. What was the atmosphere like outside the ground yesterday for those who went? And I'm talking about those who didn't enter the stadium... Why on earth would you even consider it? Genuine question. Consider what? Attending the match or joining in the protests? As I'm considering both... Attending the match. Protests I can understand.

TRon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 As has no doubt already been said, subbing Abeid off at half time and having Ryan Taylor at centre mid for 90 mins was quite incredible. I almost felt bad for Taylor as Spurs players continued to glide past him with ease, it was embarrassing. Carver clearly doesn't like Abeid and has treated him appallingly since he took over, loves subbing him off and blaming him in public which is an atrocious way to treat a young, talented player. No doubt he's one of the players he feels isn't 'good enough', whereas Taylor will always be worth a place in his team. Yup - he clearly doesn't rate Abeid which is bizarre and subbing him yesterday was just unbelievable. He was probably our best player in the first half. I thought Abeid was decent as well. Quite galling to see him then taken off and replaced by anonymous wingers which only conceded even more possession to Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Genuine answer to your genuine question... My brother barely has any spare cash, recently became a Dad and manages his own small business with a very modest budget and salary. He's spent the best part of £70 getting us tickets to go together (something we've not done regularly for years) and I don't fancy throwing them back in his face and appearing to be ungrateful when he's spent what is a small fortune for him on these tickets. Footballing morals in me say I shouldn't go, but the caring and appreciative sibling in me says I should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then make sure you steal exactly the ticket cost in merchandise from a Sports Direct shop. Depending on the brand you choose, you'd probably need a trolley's worth.

loki679 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I wouldn't let football politics get in the way like. Sounds like your brother's gone out of his way to set something up the two of you can do and it'd seem a little churlish to sack it off. If he's as short on cash as you reckon then it might be his only chance to get to a game too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's short on cash he'd be better off getting his money back rather than giving it to Ashley and sitting through 90 minutes of pure pointlessness.
