The Woman and Football

There's no decision to be made. There are 3 billion women in the world but just one football (proper football, not your grid iron, bogball or Aussie Rules).

To paraphrase the scumbag that is Roy Keane, "my team will always be my team. You won't always be my girlfriend".

And if she read this thread, she'll probably be your ex-girlfriend very soon. :pac:

OP, I suggest encouraging her participation in these football outings by giving her a little project, such as getting a category "D1" driving license. Two words - Booze Bus! :cool:

Ah the old women vs football agenda. I get the same from my missus although I have to say she's been very decent about the world cup. I've watced pretty much every match and she hasn't 'really' complained about it. She knows I absolutely love football if I'm not watching it I'm playing it 3-4 nights a week.

She only has a couple of rules I've to go by , I'm not allowed talk to her about football and I'm not allowed complain when I'm injured from over playing.

I once did drunkenly say when out with friends that I prefered playing football to having sex which brought the whole table to silence...I'm not sure how much I meant that.

Twist - OP's missus ends up liking football. Follows Drogheda.

My missus thinks the rule is that I can watch some games as long as I talk to her during them.

The argument that ensued when she insisted that I talk to her during City v Spurs (for CL qualification) a few years back almost split us up.

To this day, she still doesn't understand why, for that 90 minutes, football was the only thing that mattered in the world.

Reminds me of how angry I was when she was trying to talk to me when Utd got knocked out of the champions leauge 2 years ago, Might have been Bilbao that out us out , there she is banging on about needing to talk to me. I'm there on my feet giving out blue murder at the TV, ranting and asking WTF her problem was could she not see I was distracted like... then she said...

'Irishcrx.......I'm pregnant.......'

Suddenly I'd forgotten all about Utd being knocked out.......I was knocked out...

Your wife is right, soccer is a sissy sport for sissy boys, sort your life out man.

I thought this was a thread in general about women complaining about lads watching football and other sport.

I mean, give us some credit. We're watching the biggest sporting spectacle in the world, featuring some of the best players in the world, and containing some genuine shocks and surprises and drama (Costa Rica topping group, Spain knocked out already). A tournament that comes around once every four years. Of course, we're gonna get about immersed in it all.

It sure as hell beats spending the winter watching the "talent" on X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing, or constantly proclaiming how gorgeous Tommy Bowe or one of the Kearney's are during EVERY SINGLE Ireland match*.

*admittedly that may be stereotyping all women.

Was with my girlfriend a month when the LoI season started back and made sure she was aware....



A picture speaks a 1,000 words

She's accustomed to it now so asks me what day Shels are playing and if I'm going (for the away matches), so far for the World Cup she made sure we went out to somewhere that had the England/Italy match on last Saturday and is making sure we go to somewhere tomorrow for 9 for food that has Colombia -v- Uruguay on

Ah here.

Never be with a partner who makes you choose.

Never be in a relationship where you've to ask permission.

Never be in a relationship where you are "not allowed" to do things.

Never ever be with someone who doesn't understand that the World Cup is the most exciting thing to happen in the life of a football fan, only surpassed by the Euros if Ireland are there, and doesn't happen very often.

MARRY ME

Reading this and I'm wondering why the hell I let a guy stop me going to matches last season.

Giving me hassle because all I do is "watch football on TV and go to watch football around Ireland when Dundalk play".
She is after saying "No World Cup tomorrow night, we can go for food"
I explained Dundalk were playing in Derry, Id be gone at half 3 and not back till half 12/1 tomorrow night...

She went mental, saying your going to have to choose someday, me or the football

I was like this before we got together and told her I would never change and she said she didnt care.

If it comes down to a choice, she got no chance!

Broke up with the ex as she kept saying I only traveled back to Dundalk to see Dundalk play not to see her. She said if I loved her as much as Dundalk it would be an easy choice. Knew at that point it was the end.
