Southampton meet up - 1 October 2011

but it's worth every millisecond

 

ouch! And that has stayed with you...one of those parenting decisions that comes back to haunts you! lol

 

poor Barry has been mentally scarred by that decision!, cant go to a footy game coz your under 8, what a parenting cop out!! you know its not to late to sue

 

i dragged my kids to footie even when they didn't want to go! lol...elder miss Hornette finally gave up a couple of seasons ago...apparently there was too much shopping to be done to be standing around in the Rookery end on a Saturday...i don't know what i did wrong but i definitely failed with that one! lol

 

It is - he's been dead for nearly 7 years. It also had something to do with my Dad going to my Uncle and Aunt who lived in Cardiff Road for a drink after the game.

 

aw, sorry to hear that Barry...mine's been gone nearly 9...it doesn't get any easier.

Ah yes, that might have explained it, but...even at 8, surely you'd have been too young to join in with that?

 

Well when the time comes for you to be reunited , in the I love you dad speech ,there needs to be , well there is just one thing

 

Shortly after my 8th birthday, my Aunt and Uncle moved to Suffolk so my Dad couldn't go to them anymore after a night match so I was allowed to go to them afterwards. If it had been because of my age, then my younger sister would've had to wait 2 more years than she did to go to a night game.

Anyway, back to matches v Soton - who was there to watch one of the most bizarre halves of football when a side is leading 3-0 at HT despite conceding 2 pens?

 

ahh, that makes sense

Hmm, i think i was there! lol i have such a rubbish memory for games i've been to..it astounds me that everyone remembers details!

 

If I said it was about 3 years ago and Richard Lee was the 'Orns keeper that day would that help?

 

Yes!! i was there!! )..that was great fun!

 

I liked the Southampton game at the Vic in 08 when we went 1 up then conceded one either side of half time before a blonde haired Darius Henderson came on with 20mins to go and scored 2 to win us the match 3-2!! I have watched that match about 20 times!!

 

i'm not sure we're going to be as good this season against Southampton...!

 

I would not mind seeing Iwelumo come off the bench to score two to give us the win, or seeing Marv score a hat-trick. A guy can hope right?

 

absolutely...i think we might just get lucky..if we're lucky! lol

 

I can see it being a great match seeing as i wont be there!!

 

aww honey! You should come!

 

I think its too late to mention to dad i would actually like to. I planted the seed but nothing has happened.

 

aww, do you need to..can't you just come?

 

Well i am not earning atm so i cant really justify the £40 petrol, the £15 for the ticket and the other expenses. If i was earning i would not even think twice. I will be at Peterborough though!!
