That brings to mind the Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads, sitcom from the 1970's. The episode 'No Hiding Place' . Where Bob and Terry spend all day trying to avoid hearing the result of an England match, before they watch the highlights that evening on TV.

My dad used to avoid games and watch it later or watch highlights on MOTD.
My grandad (mum's side) lived with us. He used to walk in and say things like "have they scored the goal yet" or leave the room after the goal/final goal had been scored.

I was once out for a cup game and setup the VCR to record it (that shows how long ago it was).

I then phoned my wife to check it was recording ok and she said “yes, it’s in extra time”. :harrysmile:
 
Half my mates in the same position. Mrs kept them in straight and narrow.

Other half doing/done time cos of the Mrs.

Sliding doors moments for so many people.

Was reading something recently that said how people can risk everything for nothing.
Growing up is learning what’s worth risking and what’s not. I get that.

As when I was young was too stupid to know any better tbh.

He still has the 81 FA Cup final on VHS somewhere I think. Handwritten label on the front says "Sweet FA"
As a youngster, I thought it meant sweet fuck all.
Which is ironic, as that's what we've had since the 90's really
