Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I just sat and watched the Everton Liverpool game. 118 minutes with about 2 shots on target, so I thought "I'll go for a slash before the penalties". I come back, and Everton have scored. I wouldn't mind, but it happens ALL THE TIME. I'm famous for it among my mates, to the extent that if I go to the toilet during a game, they start a sweep on who's going to score. I remember a champions league game between Man U and Basle a few years ago, when Basle scored then Man U scored twice in the space of four minutes. You guessed it, I missed them all.

Couldn't you have held it in for 3 more minutes? You had plenty of time before the penalties, what are you, a woman? :P

I wouldn't worry about it - ITV1 lost the plot and the adverts came on - even if you were watching, you'd have missed the goal. :angry:

Unless you were watching on Setanta, of course. :)

Maybe you should go for a pish at New Broomfield more often.

I watched it online at itv.com, I don't have Sky or Setanta, and it wasn't on STV. Dunno if the advert thing happened online, cos I was in the bog at the time!

Good point about Airdrie games by the way Michael. Think I'll pay my £15 and sit on the khazi for 90 minutes on saturday!

Can anyone enlighten me as to why there were rolled up pairs of socks being thrown on to the pitch?

Everton are moving to another part of town where the locals apparently "steal socks". By that, I'm guessing it's not the most prosperous of areas.

That's what the Setanta commentator said anyway.

Cheers pal. ;)

I saw a bottle of water getting chucked on too. Me and my pal Scotty were speculating about why they were throwing their socks on and came to the crappy stereotype that the Scousers didn't have any coins to throw so they thought they would throw the next cheapest item they had on them.

It got the arse well and truly kicked out of it when we anticipated an actual fan being thrown on to the pitch just like Jazz gets thrown out of the door by Uncle Phil in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

It did happen online - me and 3 of my flatmates were screaming at the computer screen then it came back and the Everton players were celebrating :lol:

I heard it was because the fans will steal socks off lines in the area of the new ground, to use to put over their hands so no prints will be left at the scene of the crime.So to speak.

It was on the ITV audio channel last night to. Put it on to ITV at 10pm,and there was no news on,as the football was still on.
