Going to a West Ham game but not actually watching.

I went for a piss yesterday on the 70th min mark and there was about 50 people standing there having a chat and a beer.

Don’t get me wrong I love a slurp but couldn’t believe so many people were not watching the game. I’d understand if we was 3 0 down but we were winning.

Anyone do this?

Conspicuous consumption.


*see Leicester's late chairman for other examples

Firstly why did you piss on mark?

Secondly why is Mark's nickname 70th min?

Thirdly why can't you control your bladder for the duration of a football match?

I've heard it said on several occasions that you are a Knicker Wetter.

This thread serves as confirmation of your unfortunate status.

I'll generally have 8 pints before a game, so no chance of not having a piss for 2 hours.

And I rarely rush back when having a beer at half-time, though it's been a long time since I went to football for the football.

I imagine a load of the older fellas are exactly the same.

Palace at the LS I went to get some beers in with us 0-1 down at HT, the queue was so long that by the time I had got served we had already equalised and everyone had rushed back to their seats.

Stood there with a couple of drinks and couldn't help noticing how many piss heads there were swaying while necking down rows of pints lined up on the shelves. By the time I had emptied the old one eyed monster and got back to my seat it was 3-1!

You would have been better off not watching that second half performance.

Re: Going to a West Ham game but not actually watching.

Remember during the 2011/12 season, I spent a whole game on the concourse with another WHOer jawing for the whole game without once popping up. Not planned, just good company.

Where I sit in the East Stand I have seen many other season ticket holders and day trippers playing with their mobile phones and not watching the match.

Did you not feel uncomfortable with 50 blokes watching you have a piss?

Re: Going to a West Ham game but not actually watching.

When I used to go regularly to games with my mates we would have done much the same. I don't feel I have to watch the game avidly. I went to games for the event and to meet up with my West Ham family rather than act like a Sky TV groupie fawning over the latest overpaid mercenary.
Lets face it you aren't going to miss much and there's more to going to the football than just the match. At least there used to be. The modern day fans don't seem to get it.

Happens all the time but Saturday could be that some simply couldn't face trying to get back to their seats in the general scrum.

You could not get a more tense finish than that against the grief wallahs, but people were leaving the ground from before the 80 minute mark. What the fuck is the point in coming, if you miss probably the most important segment of the game.

Would it help if they played the 2nd half first?

Re: Going to a West Ham game but not actually watching.

Leaving 10 mins early probably saves some people an hour on their journey, so I make them right, especially if they're up early for work.

There has always been people in the bar during a game, it's hardly a new thing. It's nice and you get peace and quiet and get can get served quickly.

What gets me, is the cunts wanting to film every set piece really grates on me.

Mobile phones should be banned in stadiums only used for an emergency.
