Are GOT fans and football fans never one and the same?

veryangryman

I've yet to meet any man who likes both. Nor one who likes neither.

Is there anyone here who can tell me something very technical about both of these persuits of human endeavour to prove your love of both?

What is GOT?

Can’t help you, I’m afraid. I’ve been on a similar hunt for a trombone enthusiast who’s also into knitting.

It can happen if you broaden your mind.

Let’s face it, the type of person who watched those type of shows or reads the books isn’t going to be the most active or sports orientated.

I’m guessing they might be into that “eSports”.

I like both.

The fact that the fire priestess woman got it wrong about why yer man who was killed was supposed to be king... and it hasn't been explained... that's kind of annoying.

Also where has she disappeared to? (Can't remember if she was killed).

Football. Not sure what facts to tell you. OK. English punditry (e.g. Match of the day) is terrible. They just going out obvious things. "Man U will have to be at the top of their game to bear Barcelona". Well done.

Beg to differ. Read the books as they were published. Enjoy the show. Quite fit. Enjoy exercise. Don’t play video games.

Think football is mind numbing boring, but enjoy watching various other sports. Don’t play any, but that’s more down to time commitment than anything else.

The thing about the Dothraki is they always walk it in.

I imagine the most watched sport in the world and the most popular TV show around at the moment might have one or two overlapping fans.

Nearly everyone I know likes football and GoT. And a god few of them like eSports too if we need to address that.

Did anyone else see Stannis Baratheons bicycle kick against FC Winterfell at the weekend? Top class goal.

I love both. Big Shamrock Rovers and Liverpool supporter and read George RR Martin's books as they were released before getting stuck into the TV show.

Dislike strongly both.

Young Theon Greyjoy ran the boll*x off himself.


It's also amazing that the Onion Knight is such a good keeper with that little hand of his.

I'm thinking the OP doesn't appear to know many people. Bizarre thread.

The Hound was his usual fiery self in the back line over the weekend too :P

I know this is going to open up 'that' debate again, but that tackle on Bran by Jaime Lannister was clean. It was the awkward fall that broke him up, not the tackle.

Game of thrones is the most watched tv show in the world and football is the most watched sport.

What a stupid thread

It never ceases to amaze me the sort of nonsense that exercises some people's minds. Why in the name of the Old Gods and the New would you even care about this? There's only one King in the North - in Bielsa we trust!

RocketRaccoon

Yeah I'd be a fairly big fan of both

Hi, here's one.

Big game coming up. The Night King's Army are unbeaten at home, but we've yet to see how they perform on the road. A visit to the newly-formed Winterfell Dragons could present a stern test. Particularly after the controversial transfer of Viserion to the All-Whites - don't expect a warm welcome for him from the home crowd!

Winterfell Striker Jon Snow has fully recovered from his niggling "stab wounds" injury and is expected to start, while midfield schemer Littlefinger has been ruled out, and it's unclear whether he will return this season.

The winner is due to meet Cersei Lannister's reigning Champions Kings Landing in the final - so it's all to play for!

Betting; White Walkers are narrow favourites, but the odds on a Jaime Lannister handball have dropped 50%.

I love football and GOT.
I don’t see how you can make those observations OP.

His Dad walked out on him and his Mam and joined an eSports league in South Korea. Touchy subject, best not go there.

Drama. As both the premier league and Game of Thrones draw to a close, we, who have followed the pursuits of our favourite teams/characters now come to the point where their fate is revealed.

Cast of characters:
Liverpool (White Walkers - long thought to be vanquished, now suddenly making a comeback)
Man City (Lannisters - driven by money and pretty much mowned by a foreign investment company)
Man United (Starks - enemies of the Lannisters, suddenly find themselves having to rely upon the Lannisters to help stop the White Walkers)
Arsenal (Baratheon - remember them? No? Ok....)
Chelsea - (Targaryan - almost died out when the arrogant lunatic who led them was knifed in the back)
Spurs - (Martell - seemingly important, but no one really knows why)
Wolves - (Greyjoys - they'll take a bite out of just about everyone before this thing is over)

Littlefinger has played for more sides than Robbie Keane.

More like Aphex Twin fans are they not.

Winterfell will have to work on their defending against free kicks. Viseryan blasted right through the wall like it wasn't even there last season.

Didn’t “The Beast” play football?

I understand (all second hand of course) that the stripclubs of the great cities of Europe do a roaring trade when the champions League is in town. And wasn't Game of Thrones one big strip club for the first 3 seasons. So I'd say there is a fair cross over between the two fan bases.

El_Duderino 09

I'm having 2 lads and a woman around for GoT tonight and they're all big football fans. I'm not into football but love rugby. My Mrs only likes GoT.

Not sure why you're finding it so hard to find people into both.

Yea. Apparently in that upcoming episode so many frontline players die it's being likened to the Munich air disaster.

Who is the taller of the 2.....or does Sanchez look deceptively small due to how high he pulls up his shorts?

Peter Dinklage aka Tyrion is 4 foot 5 inches

Sanchez aka Alexis is 5 foot 6 inches

He'd be brutal on a cross, might do better running onto a ball behind defenders. Low centre of gravity would have him turning on a 6 pence

Tyrion Lannister turn ala Cruyff and hopefully not a foreboding to his on-screen persona
