legalbeagle Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I have to confess, I really have no interest in football at all. But it is our national game so perhaps I ought to try. Suggestions as to how I might do that? Or should I be starting a separate thread?!

brum Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 LB - Pick up a blue and white scarf and join me and kpc in the Birmingham City Supporters Club (East Dulwich Branch). We can explain all you need to know about what football is really about - the pain of losing, and the occasional joy of winning.... and the singing....did I mention that?!

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Start by supporting your local team. That would be Dulwich Hamlets or Millwall.Get warm underwear and big woolly scarf. Learn a few phrases to be shouted at apt times, eg, "Who is the elegant athelete in the black who seems a trifle myopic?".Go with friends and consume lots of hot bovril or beer. If you choose Millwall, the pies outside the ground are better than inside.Enjoy.

First 20 minutes were all Brum, then it evened out. Home advantage swung it, but if that goal had been given then it would have been interesting!!

kpc Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Agreed - at half-time felt that we were in control and that there was very little threat - think there were half a dozen times when you passed the ball out of play. Pompey stepped it up after the break and we didn't respond. Too many players had a poor second halfd. The first goal may have been scrappy but the second was well taken and a killer punch. And we really didn't create much in the second half. Talking to Blues fans after, nearly everyone felt let down by the team. Just make sure you do the right and proper thing if you get V***a in the semis.

brum Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 What is it about footballers that you don't like, LB? I think some psycho-analysis to exorcise your demons may just be the ticket (to the match...)

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Oh fie, LB, there are footballing heroes in every era. Just Google Stanley Matthews, Dennis Compton, Billy Wright, Neil Harris.All good men and true - not every footballer is a wag-man-wanker.

legalbeagle Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 The outfits are terrible! The players seem to cry all the time! The club owners are very sinister! The managers have faces like a bull dog licking p*ss off a thistle! I'm not sure a woolly scarf and some loud songs are gonna get me there.......
