An Advance Apology

[Greg Bobkin]

I apologise for not having anything to apologise for.

Enjoy the game, whatever time you arrive or leave, or whatever state you are in.

 

[DumLum]

I would like to apologise for not reading all the posts on this crap thread.

I did read all the posts in this crap thread. Yours was probably the best.

The highlights were: The same old tired film analogue that gets trawled out every-time a JLE thread is on here. Someone thought they were original, followed by posters commenting how funny they think it is.

I don't mind a few people leaving early for whatever reason

That's very kind of you Sir,a magnanimous gesture. Due to the later kick off and my son being only three, I would very much appreciate being on this 'few' list, for todays match, how does one go about it? and what is the definition of 'a few'? as I fear said list will be over subscribed as there seems to be a lot of selfish individuals on here that seem to think they can pay their money and turn up and/or leave when they like as if this is some kind of (reletively) free country, I think it's time we adopted the policy of clubs such as Arsenal who have developed such a high tech system of travel, not to mention that every match at the Emirates kicks off at 3pm on a Saturday that over 59,000 fans are still in their seats at the final whistle. I may or may not be vacating my seat in the Family Stand before the final whistle today so feel free to stop me and question my motives, however there is a possibility that if the line of questioning doesn't go as expected I might have to resort to answering with the phrase "go f*** yerself".

I appologise in advance for shaking my head at GOSBTS being sung too fast when the players come out and for not clapping the away fans attendance.

 

[Garage_Doors]

I would like to apologise to all for not clapping. I will be staying until the end but won't be clapping at the end of the game,

I last did this at after a particularly good sex session with the wife to show my appreciation and it was not well received and resulted in some severe bruising and withdrawal of favours.

I would like to apologise for going to the loo during the game, please blame the Uni for me drinking more beer due to the late kick off. I would also like to apologise for leaving my seat before half time, please blame Azure for the crap service which leads to the need to do this.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

I apologise if i leave approximately 3 minutes early as i have plans tonight and would rather make the first Eastbourne train than waiting in a queue for 45 minutes for the next one.

I do make this up as i dont leave the stand between KO and when i do leave, so i believe that makes up for it - kind of. I also believe me making the topics which give us good luck can kind of let me off a bit.

Well I wouldn't say "go f*** yerself" to someone I dont know, but there you go. All I'm saying is I think we'd all have a better time if half the crowd didn't leave before the end. Your portraying a false liberalism which only takes into account those leaving and not those trying to enjoy the match. The number of times I've missed bits of matches because of people leaving getting in the way is ridiculous. Try sitting near a vomitory.

As I park in Bennetts car park I do actually understand why some folk leave 5 minutes before the end, particularly if they live some distance away. If you can get your car out by the time the final whistle blows, you are on your way, but if you dont, you are stuck in that F---ing car park for over an hour whilst the coach park clears. It can be very frustrating. Having got into my car at 9.40 the other evening, it was 10.55 before I finally got out of the car park and into Falmer Road.

 

[catfish]

Real men stay until the end.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

The game will be dead by the 75th minute... Buckley will have just put us 3-0 up!

 

[Stat Brother]

I didn't know leaving early would make Bridcutt cry.







We'll be off @ 7.

 

[jackanada]

I would like to apologise for looking a bit green as last nights agwa bomb experiment has caught up with me. I will barely have energy to stand which means early leavers will have to help me up to get past, which in turn means they will block peoples view for longer. There is someone I mean to blame this on but it's a bit hazy.

 

[Mellotron]

Not everyone sees it like that, and the film comparison is flawed.

My routine is to start walking from the back of the North to the exit when they put the injury time board up, usually I get there as they are blowing the whistle, sometimes it's a minute before. Missing one minute of the game or seeing the whole game but not clapping the players off reduces my queueing time to get into Dicks bar by about 20 minutes - to me that is a no brainer. I've been watching Albion for 20 years and probably will for another 20 if I live that long, unless it's on a knife edge I honestly couldn't give a f*** about missing the last few seconds. Using that logic I've only ever missed two goals - Beckham against Greece at OT, and one early last season, can't remember which game.

Each to their own.

So you missed out on probably the most exciting England goal of the last 15 years? Fair enough. An you know I'm not talking about the 1 minuters, I said 15-20 minutes. If the game is in the balance with 15 minutes to go and someone leaves then, I think the film analogy works.

So [MENTION=82]pasty[/MENTION] - how much of the 2nd half did you see?

Chuffing awful getting out of there tonight, Can honestly say I came very close to getting involved in my first bit of serious road rage.

 

[pasty]

So [MENTION=82]pasty[/MENTION] - how much of the 2nd half did you see?

None in the end. Was planning on getting the 7.16 from Falmer, but after the floodlight failure left before the 2nd half started and got the 7.05

On the upside, the Paul Merton gig was very very funny indeed.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

In a change from the norm, we left just as the five extra minutes were announced, due to Jnr not feeling great. I was amazed at the number of people that were already out by then.

Not saying its a bad thing, just surprised.



Oh, and I guess I should apologise? Sorry all!
