Am I Bovvered ...



... about football tomorrow ?? As in "live" football ??

Straight answer - NO ! Having just spent three blisteringly cold days "on the road" - with one (apparently worse !) to come, the thought of more cold time finding my way to a game and then suffering 90 minutes of sub-zero before similar journey home ... just doesn't fill me with enthusiasm at all. Of course the other problem would be actually finding a game - OK you might think Woodley (plastic) Sports is a guaranteed "on" ... but ... please note that Mossley are away at Durham (plastic) City - and they're apparently having a pitch inspection at 0900hrs tomorrow (obviously not wishing a repeat of the 2008 fiasco) - so I guess anything's possible. Plenty of games at all levels already called off tomorrow - with more to come following some cursory pitch inspections in the morning I would think. An obvious "cheapskate" option is to take advantage of the free ESPN weekend on TV (in fact I've already caught a bit of the Nuremberg v Borussia Dortmund tonight) - tomorrow's UK option is Man City v Fulham ... well it's football of sorts ... and I trust all the pubs/clubs are aware of this free offer (i.e. when "fewer than expected" turn up).

And - just for info - last night's DVD of choice was "Back to the Future 1" - and tonight's DVD of choice was ..."Back to the Future 2" - wonder what I might watch tomorrow night ??

Thanks for the "heads up" re ESPN. There's usually some Welsh football on normal telly as well.

Cheers

Freeview Channel 34 folks - and even the Woodley Sports v Curzon Ashton game has now bit the dust (although Durham City v Mossley has been called "ON" (hopefully for longer than 43 minutes :-) )
