Absolute Devotion

Why would you presume that he isn’t married when he attended his step daughters wedding ! I would have thought that he is in some sort of relationship if he has a step daughter! Just saying !

I’ve never got why this is the case…did she not know you were a footie fan til after you dragged her up the aisle (or down the register office or whatever….)?

Fair enough, someone like the guy in the article would annoy even me; even if I didn’t work weekends I doubt I’d realistically get to every game – did he never go on holiday or owt? Or did he work his hols round the fixtures and only had six days max.?

There’s a fella sits next to me at games and he goes to every home game, but he only started when his wife died.

Since when has logic ever dictated how a woman acts???? :blink: :blink: :blink:

I told my now wife within a couple of weeks of meeting (we met during the close season between the Championship promotion & the Chelsea game) that Saturday’s are my football day & always will be – likewise the odd midweek day too. “Okay that’s fine” said she.

Doesn’t stop her whinging when I go & “leave her” on match day (watching or reffing). I think she & her ilk think that as you become more committed, get married, have kids & all that, that you’ll realise where your priorities lie. The problem for her is that I’m well aware where they lie!!! ;) :P
For instance I’m presently getting grief as she’s having to take most of the half-term as leave to look after our daughter coz I didn’t have enough spare yet I found enough to book 3 days to go to Maribor. My statement that she was the one, the day after the cup final, who told me that I’d have to do “at least one European game” doesn’t seem to wash
The woman of the species is indeed a strange beast

By ‘eck, I’m glad I’m divorced and childless!!

Gotta say, though, hope you’re not shoving *all* women into that bit in bold, there must be more than one footie widower or ex out there… :D

I suspect his wife has been having an affair on Saturday afternoons for the past 30 years !

I see the football as an escape for a few hours ! Everybody needs some “Me Time” now and again.

Unlucky.

My Mrs has a season ticket.

She also has the same taste in music as me.

I wouldn’t have married her otherwise :)

No grief in our house re the Footie.

Now DIY that’s another story ……….. ;)[/quote]

That’s a phrase that applies to most things in our house.
