Firstly, I'm a self-confessed pedant, I'm not the grammar police (I have applied). Secondly, that was a typo, not a grammatical mistake. Thirdly, I make loads of grammatical mistakes, couldn't you have picked me up on one of those instead of a typo?
I never normally would, but imagine if after each victory you had to take an 8 year old from the opposing team home and sit with him while his mum had to tell him it was just a game as she made him some eggy bread. Kinda takes the fun away.
I agree, no empathy for him. But what about the poor bast@rds around him? Had I been at the game and been subject to some shouting, I'm sure I'd feel differently.
I need to find a forum member with poor grammar, then I can get over this sorry little episode.
It's a story told from their perspective. A story of bigger boys coming and stealing their points. I can't help but empathise. I prefer to pretend there are no casualties and see it just from our perspective.
I appreciate I'm somewhat alone (and weird), but I'm not actually enjoying that. I've got nothing against Birmingham and no reason to be happy at what must have been pretty shit for them.
Of course I was delighted from our point of view, but I don't really want to see how they felt.
