what the hell? so the pub around the corner actually has the barcelona match on. so, i’m sitting at the bar minding my own business. enjoying the match. this guy comes in about 20 minutes into the game and stands next to me. gets a drink. mumbles something which turns out to be, “can you hand me the ashtray”. then he persists to talk throughout almost the whole game. turns out he’s a baseball fan. do i care about boring ass baseball? no. i try to be nice, but he just keeps going on and on. i think he may have already been drunk when he got there. he continues to talk throughout the second half. it’s even more annoying because i can’t really hear him very well so i’m constantly saying “what?”. then he offers to buy me a pint. i try to decline, but it doesn’t work. i go take a piss. he ends up coming in after me. starts talking at the urinal. what the hell? then i notice that he’s not even at a urinal, but pissing between 2. i continuously try to tell him that i think baseball is boring, but it doesn’t really have any effect because he’s got to be drunk. after getting most of the way through the pint i finally just left.
at least barcelona went through. oh and he was a spurs fan. i hope arsenal wins and knocks them out of the champions league.
I was with you until you wished for the Arse over Spurs.
So, are the football fans at the games and pubs really as rowdy as is played out in the media? Anymore so than US football fans?
the fans are not as rowdy. you aren’t even allowed to stand at premier league matches anymore. however, though i haven’t directly witnessed anything, the extremist point still applies. no face or other body part painting thus far.
Ok. Nice post. That’s what I’m talking about – pissing between two urinals? Excellent. See, out of that annoyance, we get entertainment.
I’m not surprised there’s a few baseball fans over there since they have cricket.
Cricket, that’s what I thought too. If you think baseball is boring…
