Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Anyone else try to avoid the scores of Prem matches so you don't know them when you watch motd (2)? Just saw the Utd score on facebook. Have to cover my ears at HT at the gate to miss them Another trivial, pointless thread by OTIB (i'm sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I do exactly the same at half time, I cover my ears and do a lalalala noise all over the top of the tannoy. Sad, but true. If I hear the scores accidently I dont bother watching motd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfctim Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Makes watching MOTD a lot more interesting but takes a lot of effort!

sbred Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Why people would want to watch other teams is beyond me, I mean travelling all to way to Liverpool, or Manchester etc. Do not understand all this "second team" rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a second team but I do like going to watch villa sometimes as its easy to get to and quite cheep for a high level of quality football, I have seen some of the best players in the world destroy villa over the years.

Red_Jim Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Never understood second teams, never will. What happens if your two teams play each other? Having two teams strikes me as a bit of a cop out, a back up in case your first team loses. I like Arsenal more than most top teams, but couldn't really give a toss about them - only one team I care about, I couldn't ever support anyone else.

Robbored Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Lots of City fans have other teams that they like but don't travel to watch them. I have always liked Arsenal but only ever watch them on TV. I wish every year that City draw them in the FA Cup. I also have a soft spot for Exeter City and look out for their results. Doesn't mean I support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 There was a 'whatever happened to the likely lads' episode where the two main characters avoid the England score all day, possible up to the 90's maybe 00's but you cant get away from all the scores now surely?! I did try it with the FA Cup the season before last because I was busy (even had to record motd!) and managed to not find out the score all day, then promptly fell asleep watching motd at about 2.30am As for a second team, I don't bother, its far more fun taking an overall interest in the other leagues and liking/disliking mates teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 And as I remember the England game was called off after all. A very funny episode from a classic series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I do exactly the same if I can. Thankfully I usually have a few people I phone at half time, so can avoid the scores that way and don't listen to the radio on the way home. MOTD is always more enjoyable if you don't know what to expect. I do get somewhat annoyed when listening to the away games when every two minutes you get and such and such has given so and so the lead in the Premier League. One: If I didn't try to avoid the scores then I wouldn't be wanting score updates whilst concentrating on the City, and Two: If they feel they must give updates then can't they switch it around to say something like "In the Premier League, such and such......" to at least give people a chance to avoid the update if they like?!? Just as an aside....Quite why "_Bristol-City_" decided he wanted to be bit of a tit and deliberately do something that someone has said they don't like is beyond me. Little bit childish if you ask me....and more than a little pointless. Maybe that's just me though...maybe it's been just too long since I left school?

MarcusX Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I love doing this, my dad always did it so took it from him. Its hard when your playing on a Saturday afternoon and every one else in your team is a Prem team fan, it can be quite difficult to avoid the scores! I generally try and switch off so even if I do hear them I rarely remember. I have a bit of a ritual of recording MOTD and waking up Sunday morning to watch it on Sky + before going off to play for the Sunday team. I remember one of Euro qualifiers I had training whilst an England game was on. I begged everyone I was with not to tell me the score as I had the game on record and intended to go home and watch it on Sky + when I got in. On our way home whilst everyone I was with had clearly checked the score they kept asking if I was sure I didnt want to know but I stood my ground. Got home about 10.30 stayed up til gone midnight watching the game to realise that it finished 0-0... Was not impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryans Left Peg Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I went to the Cardiff v Wolves game yesterday! Fantastic game and cracking atmosphere. Worried a bit when I celebrated Wolves' first goal with the Cardiff faithful.. had to then celebrate with the Cardiff fans. Think I had more fun than they did!

southside Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Makes watching MOTD a lot more interesting but takes a lot of effort! Keep switching over to bbc1 at the scheduled start time only to find out the news is running late and see all the scores on the screen. I know what you mean mate!, I tend to give it 3 minutes past the time, then its usually safe. I read about some newsreader who said "those of you who dont want to know the football results look away now", she then read out the scores!

I sat and watched MOTD (you know the minute by minute updates thing they do, moving from game to game?) I honestly did not know that Man City had nicked the league with that last minute winner. It was a laugh out loud moment watching the Manure fans go from joy to desperation in a blink of an eye!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAlwaysBelieve! Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I tried doing this for the crucial Coventry game last season. Sat at home playing playstation, trying not to go onto my blackberry and check facebook, twitter or BBM for any score, then with 5 minutes to go for FL Show I accidently saw the score on twitter, its fun but very intense if you have nothing to do on saturdays...
