Off To Watch City...

[Canada Bob]

Just got a phone call asking if I fancied watching City tonight...

Hard to turn down a free night out hey the only trouble is...

I wanted to be in there with the Hamburg Fans, I've taken a goal and 5/6 with Totesport,

looks a value bet to me, when was the last time City could give the other team a goal !!!

I've got Hamburg to win the night on my accumulator

I thought I backed City to go for it and win HT/FT 15/8, was about to throw my slip away after 45, until I noticed I'd actually backed them to SCORE both halves @ 2/1...!

That was never a penalty in the second half, but I'll take it.

First half even...

Wish I'd not bothered, with the match and the bet {did me bollocks in again}...

The seats we had were 3 rows from the pitch, trouble was there was a row of screamin' 14 year old right behind us, :018: the bleeders never stopped all night, me head were splittin by half time, but they carried on the full 90, :thumb04: thank gawd it dint go to extra time.

If that wasn't bad enough, I could have made money on me bet when Hamburg went 1 up, but you can't do that from the ground, we'll not easily, but at that point City looked like shyte anyway, so I probably wouldn't have edged me bet anyway

Have to say I've never been to a ground where the noise level was as bad as it was last night, not just the screechin' banshee's behind us, but the noise level all around the ground, that's me first and last time at the new City ground.

The highlight of the game turned out to be a home made meat and potato plate pie that one of the lads had brought in a tupperware thing. Wiginers don't go anywhere without a pie ;) this one was at least a foot acrossand near 2" deep, cut into 4 pieces, great pie, steak not mince meat, but too much salt in it, I was bleedin' gaspin' by the end of the match, but when we came out we couldn't get in a pub so we had to drive back as far as Walkden on the A6 before we could get a pint.

Odd how ale don't taste the same when yer team b*ggers yer bet up aint it... I was a Hamburg Fan for 15 minutes, but b*llocks to that, I'll go back to being a Rochdale Fan, at least you can count on Rochdale to beat a shyte team...

What about that penalty though, I couldn't see it from where we were, but the Ref {what a pillock} was close enough to see it wasn't handball, that turned the tide of the game, the writing was on the wall when I looked who the Ref was, some bloke named W. Hill I lost count of how many free kicks the pillock gave City.

What's with all them banana's anyway ? what's that all about ?

PS: IF "Your Old Pal" don't win the 3:15 at Newbury today, look for me in the river...
