The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 September 2012 Author Posted 21 September 2012 Basically if you go to the football match you'll piss her off, if you miss the match you'll get pissed off. It depends what is more important to you, her being pissed off or you being pissed off, and how quickly each of you will get over it. If she's the sort to give you the cold shoulder on Sunday night then by Monday will be ok, then I'd probably go to the match and then take her out somewhere nice to make up for it. If she is the grudge holding, make your life hell for a week type, and make you grovel for forgiveness it probably isn't worth it. Likewise, will you get over it quickly, or will you be a miserable git for the rest of the time you are with her and her family and have the hump for the rest of the week, especially if it ends up being that 5-0 stuffing we keep on threatening to dish out. If you do go, and we do lose, then she will be pissed off and so will you, and you will probably have a blazing row on Sunday night. It's a tough one, basically if you go be prepared for some grief and making up to do, if you stay make sure she realises why you stayed, even though you really wanted to go, and that you did it for her, so she can't complain the next time you are off all weekend on a big away day. A good sense of perspective there. The thing is without wanting to be I would be thoroughly miserable the rest of the day and if we did thrash them id be a **** all week.
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Oh boy are you going to lead a life of lies ? Some one change the plans so tell them , sorry but you have other commitments, do what you can and go to the game. If not tune into RL and drive slowly. One question for you. Do you know how much a divorce can cost ?
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 September 2012 Author Posted 21 September 2012 I'm assuming that you are a season ticket holder, explain to the misses and the in laws that you have to go to the game because it would be a waste of money not to as you have paid x amout on the season ticket, and in these econmic times you cannot afford not to go. If they complain, on the way home from the game buy a lot of alcohol for them to drink say you feel really bad about missing the meal and then present them with the alcohol. Another valid point. My phone is buzzing with abuse. Im an embarrassment apparentley!
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Another valid point. My phone is buzzing with abuse. Im an embarrassment apparentley! To who ?
davieG Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 If you haven't already got it go and buy a full LCFC kit and turn up to drive them in that they'll be so embarrassed they'll be pleased to see you gone.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 September 2012 Author Posted 21 September 2012 Myself off the missis. What captain shrapnel says is correct though if I didnt go I'd get no brownie points whatsoever, she'd expect me not to go
goose2010 Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 this happened to me last season family meal at a top restaurant the day we were playing palace at home (i think when gally scored two crackers) i was told that i had to give up the game and go to the meal so being the good boyfriend i said yeah ok i will.....little did i know that both of her cousins who are season ticket holders didn't they went to the game! and they were shocked to see me and wasn't expecting me to be there! I was fuming when I got there and was in a mood for the whole of the meal and said after i wouldn't miss a game again because of a meal! Right to your point in all honesty i think you have left it too late to not go to the meal, the only excuses you could use now would be that you're ill and i cant see that washing with them to be honest! unfortunately it looks like you are going to miss the game i hope for your sake it isn't as good as the game i missed!!
dynamark Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 I reckon this is more a parking problem.If you can shoot off after the meal about 2.25 and park right close to the ground maybe few minutes in and then get out 5 mins from the end of the match you could be home by about 5.20.Not ideal but with 25 relatives to talk too I would like to think the missus and co would be fine. Just pray we dont score in the first and last minute.To confirm divorce is mighty expensive
Trav Le Bleu Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Pretend to choke on a bone, get them to call out an ambulence, at all times gasping for breath. Let them rush you to LRI A&E where you put your hand across your mouth and "spit out" a chicken bone that you've secreted in your hand. Thank the paramedics for their help, insist that you are now fine, hop out the back of the ambulence and walk to the KP.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 September 2012 Author Posted 21 September 2012 Oh and im already only playing the 1st half for my new Sunday league team to make the meal. Another sacrifice. In all honesty I'd rather fall out with the missis for a week n her family not talk to me instead of missing it Just let it go?

Nick Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Stu - Play the whole football game and go to the footy afterwards. Ask your other half to explain that you can't let the side down as they are short and it's a new team which you play a pivotal role. Ask a mate to do a bit of driving for you as a favour - it doesn't sound like you'll be missed and quite frankly you'll only sit there with an expression on your face like I had just walked in and made a tasteless joke about the military. Just make sure you make it up to your fiancee by doing something that makes her feel special - don't start a thread asking for that advice too, it could go west.
Leicester-Fox Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 I was in the same situation last season.. I prepared well in advance, set clear expectations that I had a game to go to and as a compromise would attend the meal until 1.30pm. If your Mrs is cool with you going then who cares what the in-laws think, doesn't sound like it will make much difference anyway.

The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 September 2012 Author Posted 21 September 2012 This is the thing. I only clicked on Wednesday at the Burnley game I was in the same situation last season.. I prepared well in advance, set clear expectations that I had a game to go to and as a compromise would attend the meal until 1.30pm. If your Mrs is cool with you going then who cares what the in-laws think, doesn't sound like it will make much difference anyway. I.only knew about the clash on Wednesday. Thing is with my missis she calls my bluff. After 5 years she should know if I intend on doing something I'll do it. With her saying no makes it more likely I'll do it

1964FOX Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Stu you mean you are not coming to the meeting you and me have been invited to with Susan Whelen prior to the game about Safe Standing at the KP. With all the effort you put into arranging the road show and the time it's took me to get the meeting sorted at such a high level I would have thought your missus would understand how important it was to you and how YOU could bring about change at the stadium. I won't know what to say if you don't turn up. I need you there to support me and get our point across, it's at 2pm, we have to go to reception and we will get half an huor prior to the match. Please Stu I need you there.

Guest MattP Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Whack your e-mail up here and you can get about 50 of us to email you to make sure you are attending to show the Mrs.
Guy Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 This sort of thread reminds me of all the reasons why I'm glad I'm still single, even at 43!
dynamark Posted 21 September 2012 Posted 21 September 2012 Let us know the outcome. Why not give the club a call and ask if you can have Beckords parking spot.
