A Day In The Life

Football... who cares?

Since puberty I have declared abstinence from football unashamably, often receiving looks that I expect the physically handicapped, aesthetically challenged and hopelessly deranged receive all to often. Thankfully I am none of these, at least not certified anyway, but am a normal functioning human being... I just don't follow football, ok?

On Saturday, however, I attended a Scottish Cup match between Hibernian and Brechan and was pleasantly surprised to find the game more interesting than anticipated. Being 2 rows from the front we were able to see the colour of the players eyes, figuratively speaking of course I'm really as blind as a bat, and did see a couple of decent goals close up.

The most interesting part of football matches are the die hard fans who seem to be more interested in slagging each others mothers off (how they all know each other I'm not sure) than the game at hand. Perhaps it is this aspect of the game that has kept me on the sideline for so long.

What was my favourite part of the day? The pint afterwards of course...
