The other half isn't a football fan. Last year she asked me why the players warm up in front of the audience before performing because West End performers do all their warming up back stage out of sight.

Tonight she's made me laugh out loud once again. I told her I'd be watching BBC2 later because there an FA Cup replay on. She said, why do you want to watch it again? 😂

About the warm up, it's a good point. Up to the mid 70s, they just used to run out of the tunnel, line up and kick off. When did that stop?

About the same time as they started a warm down, whatever that is. They used to just jump in an oversized hot bath.😁
 
'What's an Armfield' as the South emptied after a game.

Although she came up with the greatest words of wisdom I think I've ever heard on the subject of glory hunting fans 'isn't coming from Blackpool and supporting Liverpool just the same as being English but supporting Germany because they've won more World Cups?'
 
Not the other half but my dear mum bless her.
Sat watching Wales V Scotland in the 70’s
me and Pater.
Commentator says something like great header by England(Mike)
Mum says “Oh ! are England playing?”
Can’t tell that story any more my wife will have the political correct police around😂😂
 
International break is a worldwide break from football.

Not football but I once took my girlfriend to the pub to watch a F1 race with my mates. When the flag went down a car crashed on the 1st corner and the driver got out and started running down the side of the track. She said are they allowed to do that, what do you mean I said, to which she replied finish the race on foot.

I think they can finish the race on foot if they are pushing the car ?
 
Not my other half but my mother back in the day . Me sat waiting patiently not knowing the score for the highlights of an fa cup replay between Derby and Man Utd.
Her just prior to the programme - " I won't tell you anything but Georgie Best scored the only goal " Thanks mum .
 
I've been asked which team were Blackpool, at home (Ex partner), and I've been asked what time the game starts and finishes regularly on a Saturday when we're at home, despite me explaining times.
 
My mate explained us getting back from Hartlepool after an LDV game at 6.00 in the morning (we got a lock-in in a pub in Sedgefield until 3.00) that it was over two legs, and we'd gone straight to the second game at full time.

On a slightly different track, many years ago we came in from a game and had recorded another match to watch. So said to our mother. “Don’t tell us the score” and the classic reply - “How could I? There wasn’t any!”

Sounds like something from “The Likely Lads” 😀
 
Not football but my daughter in law was watching rugby with my son & apparently she asked my son why was there so many refs on the pitch ……England v All Blacks 😂

My wife often tries to guess the teams playing based on the 3 letter acronym used to show the score, she thought Rochdale were playing Barcelona the other week. 🤣

My GF does this! Think her most valiant attempt was something like Belgium v South Yorkshire.
 
I asked my first wife many years ago where she had moved my footie programmes to. I presumed she had had a tidying up session. Oh I put them out for the bin man a while ago. Whaaaat!!!! Well you'd read them hadn't you. I could see the finishing line between us right there and then.
 
My Mrs is a ST holder so comes with me to all games.

However, after that Madine incident we got home and I had that clip and picture picture of him showing he was onside or give or take so I was saying look he wasn't even bloody offside.....

She then said to me......"I don’t even know what offside means I just shout with everyone else...OFFSIDE" 😂 👍

My daughter has just started getting involved in helping produce Gary Neville's 'Overlap' podcast (though she doesn't know much about football). They were meant to have Roy Keane on a couple of weeks ago so I asked her how she found him. She replied that he hadn't been able to make it so a guy called Paul Schools stepped in instead.
