The Unreliable Rumours Thread

[Kopstar]

Yeah, perhaps.... so that they could take care of their family or post stuff in social media, at the same time enjoy 90mins of live football played once a week. With you on that one.

Is the concept that some people lead busy lives with competing priorities completely alien to you? Whenever I think you've reached peak nonsense you constantly raise the bar again.

Obviously Eddie is passive aggressively talking about someone on the forums.

@Kopstar and @lfc.eddie. Please don’t use this thread to bicker.

For what it’s worth, I struggle to watch two games a week, live or recorded. Those rare occasions Liverpool have a third, I certainly get the eyebrow raised at me.

Haha I have to prepare the misses, usually goes;

Me - "Liverpool is playing on Friday"
Her - "Is it on TV or your PC?"
Me - "TV"
Her - "FFS"

Same. I generally get to see (at a guess) about 80% of games per season, which feels like a decent amount while not endangering the marriage.

I have a TV mounted on the wall above my PC and attached via HDMI cable. Saves all ther arguments. : -)

Given my ADD we limit the screen time for our kids (our daughter's slightly on the spectrum anyway) so the screen time they do get is what they want to watch. Given that my kids are awake across all the hours Liverpool games are live on TV that means live football games are not shown in my household unless under exceptional circumstances (we all watched the CL final, for example). Their bed times are always late as it is so time is at a premium when I've got other stuff going on as well. Easier to post on the forums during working hours and late at night (when Liverpool don't tend to play live games anyway).

Ironically, it would be much much easier for me to watch Liverpool games live if we lived at least a few time zones away.

For what it is worth I was merely replying to him quoting me. Not bickering.

Replying to your usual passive aggressive baiting.

 

[Walshy07]

Me: LFC are on TV
Her: Ok
Me: and Sunday
Her: OK

Simple!

It really is the advantage of my time zone (for league games at least)

Yep, if league games were shown after 11pm my time I'd be able to watch most of them live.

My missus works her shift pattern around our fixtures . No way could i concentrate on doing something else if we are playing . When i was a child and all we had were the MOTD highlights on saturdays then fair enough but you can access match streams everywhere and anywhere these days .

I took my IPTV streaming box on holiday with me so i could have access. There are 2 parents and if we can't organise our schedule to fit in leisure activities then we might as well just give up lol

 

[Walshy07]

although....

Her: Arsenal on TV tonight.
Me: You can watch that shit upstairs then
lol

Haha, I have almost the same scenario at home, with one adjustment:

Me - "Liverpool is playing on Friday"
Her - "Is it on TV or your PC?"
Me - "TV"
Her - "Oh, that must be the one connected to your computer. You should try this one sometimes!" (*shows me the remote*)

lol

 

[Chrenyan]

What a window.

I suppose there is one silver lining. Just read a stat that Liverpool have been outspent by every club in the English top-flight and 13/24 clubs in the Championship. Bring on the gross / net spend arguments. We'll be winning those, at least!

 

[JMac8]

You know its been a quiet window when the transfer thread turns into mumsnet!

Then she calls her lover and says, " O.K. for Sunday"

 

[kopfreak]

Cannot believe fabio coentrao is a bosman and still available to be signed will be a good LB cover for robbo

Japan's quite nice, you know. It's really hot in the summer and the food's great.

Thing is though, after 11 p.m. can mean 4 or 5 a.m. Think I'll be missing the first half later / tomorrow.

TV???

Luxury!!!

I haven't been allowed to watch a game on the telly for years...

(White lie...she did let me watch the final day last year on the telly, whilst Shitty were on the laptop...)

 

[Mascot88]

, this as well.

I find the Missus is alright if she can watch a Poldark while the game is on. It’s funny, cos I didn’t think she’d be that interested in Cornish Tin Mining.

 

[Red over the water]

I watch about 80-90% of our games on TV and about half of them are recorded and viewed an hour or two later, usually because of work. My wife is very understanding and doesn’t mind at all. I can go and watch in the basement too, where we have a set up to do that - beer, game of pool, watch the match, jobs a good un.

If there is a thread on TIA about the glass of water on the bedside table i resign my commission immediately.

You lot really need to get your women in order.

Never had a complaint from my wife about watching any football in the last 15 years.
