Strange fan last night

[NS Herald]

Sitting next to me last night was someone I initially thought was a Sampton fan as he didn't show any excitment at our glorious footy.

It was also odd that he seemed to spend the entire game texting on his Balckberry and showing no emotion of any sort, even when we scored.

At half time I asked what he was doing and it transpired he was making a note of EVERYTHING that was happening in the game, free kicks, corners, shots, bookings etc. which he was entering on a sort of spread sheet on his Blackberry type devise. This was then being transmitted around the world and people were betting on what was going on - weird!

At one stage he was getting calls from all unsundry and having to explain "it wasn't a red card".

Anyone into this sort of thing?

Russell Bromage does this work, he is a window cleaner in the Southwick area, but he also does all the stats for football games just like you describe.

Apparently he gets f***ing good money out of it.

Watch football and do a little bit of stats. I'll take that everyday of the week.

A few years back I was at a game and some oriental fellow spent the whole game on the phone, like he was giving a commentry.

Was it that Chinesey bloke? Mendoza I think his name is...

Was he telling his mate at the local electricity sub-station when to cut the cable that leads to the floodlights?
