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

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”.

OMM 0000 · 15-04-2019 02:48PM

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.

GLaDOS · 15-04-2019 02:51PM

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.

mayordenis · 15-04-2019 02:52PM

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

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

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

super_furry · 15-04-2019 03:09PM

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.

That boy's on fire at the moment. Played his heart out.

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

That is probably the average person here.

Dire? Hardly. Wolves are having a fantastic season.

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 · 15-04-2019 03:31PM

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%.

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