...it's comes to you supporting the lads and following football in general. I've been married nearly forty six years to a wonderful woman who dislikes football intensely. When we first got together in the late sixties I took her to home games occasionally and even drove her to Bristol City for Joe Bakers first game in 1970 (I think). She never saw us win a game and I quickly realised she was a bad omen and she hasn't been since. When things get tight towards the seasons end, like for the past five years and you can't relax, eat or sleep properly she thinks I'm crackers, she wants us to do well, cup finals, play off finals etc and usually we fail she tells me too pack it in, I wish it was that easy. We don't fall out over it, she just shakes her head in disbelief. Anybody else in a,similar situation with their other half?.
I told her when we first started seeing each other not to make me choose between her and SAFC as she wouldn't like the option I chose!
The missus watches with me every game I get to see. Stays up and watches with me on the laptop/TV or goes out to a bar and watches till 4 in the morning watching. We've got season tickets to the Aussie Rules and she doesn't miss a game. She's a ****ing legend that girl. DD/E sized boobs don't hurt either.
My wife doesn't like football and I'm eternally thankful for that, it's my 'lad' time and I don't get much of that nowadays. She gets plenty of time to chat utter **** with her mates, usually 3ft away from me when I'm trying to watch some Ed Stafford show on Discovery, 12 of them, yap yap ****ing yap, non-stop, who can shout the loudest about themselves.
Our lass has known from the start that nothing gets in the way of SAFC. Our wedding arrangements were made out of season and any holidays etc are the same.
My Mrs enjoys going to the matches whenever we can arrange it so no problems on that front. She cant get her head round how depressed or deflated i get when we don't do well, she says that its only a game!! She hasn't got DD boobies either so no comfort for me there!
My lady is Great with SAFC. She likes enjoys watching them but not so much she impedes on my hobby time. Can't ask for more.
Mrs. A. hates football, and she knows that she's not my first love, but she's very understanding . . . . she knows that I need my periodic 'fix' She also knows that in April(ish) my priority is to renew our 4 season tickets (me and my 3 bairns, who should be paying for their own now, but I can't bring myself to make them ), no matter how much money we have/haven't got (even in the bad times in the past) She always checks the results, after home or away games, to see what mood I'm going to be in when I get home, so she knows whether or not she can even speak to me I only ever took her to one match - we were beaten by Blackburn when Roly Gregoire (our first black player) was ****e - and she wished that she'd taken a book ! She went to Maine Road and Celtic Park before I ever did, too . . . . to see David Cassidy Overall, even though she's not my first love, she's definitely the best thing that's ever happened to me . . . . partly because my first love has let me down many more times (literally hundreds) than she has (as the older ones on here will know and understand) so, yes, I do have an understanding 'better (much) half' that I will always love nearly as much as my first love
