Couldn't make it up

[Bold Seagull]

No, it's not. It's the football which is the fun. Or do you like going to football as a means to getting drunk? (And I'm no teetotaller.)

Fine dining - fine wine.

Fine football - fine ale.

Simples.

Is there a more well worn cliche than you couldn't make it up ?

Every time I see this one trotted out, I just think one more drone, moaning on about something I don't give a stuff about.

For the record I often enjoy a few beers at the football, but won't be drinking before the game on Sunday, because they have made the kick off stupidly early. Hopefully there will be an excuse for a few after the game though.

couldn't make this up , Tim by any chance

Two points: Getting drunk at footie is great fun. You just need to find new drinking buddies. And most of the time the football isn't fun. It's everything apart from that which makes it. I went to about 15 away games last season and saw us fluke 2 wins and either draw or lose the rest. Most of those games were awful.

Football is the EXCUSE for a good day out with your mates, getting pissed, talking bollocks and relieving the frustrations of modern life via shouting a lot and a bit of bromance if we score.

The match is secondary to the above.

I'm getting up early, watching the Grand Prix, then hitting the cider. I always have at least 4 pints before kick off, Sunday will be no different.

Absolutely this And when it's a special derby, even more so. I've informed Mrs P that Sunday is a complete and utter write off. I shall be leaving home around 9ish, and I'll be home when I get home.

Isn't it an offence to buy alcohol in a drunken state?

It's an offence to SELL alcohol to someone in a drunken state.

That's why I love football

Joins the end of a long list of draconian anti-drinking measures based on the attitude: "if you drink, you're likely to commit a crime". Therefore, any solution involves preventing drinking where possible. Of course, nobody can prevent a pub selling beer, so the inevitable result is the encouragement of binging at peculiar hours of the day.

"Proactive" law enforcement such as this is not law enforcement at all, it's just meddling in people's affairs with only a set of stereotypes as moral justification. It's lazy, and often counter-productive.

rant over
