Superstitious Supporters

[bkkjames]

Thought I would try to lighten things up as the end of the season nears with something that hopefully is funny in nature. We all know that many sports people are superstitious - what about TV members of the football forum?

I will start with mine. I have two that come to mind.

1) The wife is not allowed to watch 'live' Utd games with me. The last few times she did - we lost to LP. (However, we did kinda watch the City game the other night from the hospital - although she fell asleep so it doesnt count)

2) If I am watching a match at home, I take up a usual position on my sofa. No big deal in that, seems normal. However, if after 20 mins we haven't scored I changed things around - put on the air con, move to a different spot. If however, we score, I do not change a thing until the end of the game!

Ok, laugh if you want but would be funny to hear a few others.

The only superstition I have is that I never ever place a bet on my team in any sport.

[StevieH]

yeah, got loads. from drinking in the same pub and arriving there at the same time before a match to having to sing the same songs before kickoff.

watching on telly i have to be in a bar or pub, i fuc_king hate watching at home. also do loads of OCD shit like positioning my cigarette packet and lighter parallel to my beer and all sorts of stupid shit like that.

when i play i have to put my shinpads and socks on before my shorts. don't know why, have done it since i was about ten years old.

[mrtoad]

Well, it would be the beer first, followed by the cigs.

Do you have motor? I might even take the hubcaps.

I've got to give you 10 out of 10 for that one ...... id personally ban women from football fullstop, apart from promotional girls in bikins throwing sweets, crisps etc... into the crowd before the games.

My only one is i never put a bet on Newcastle as i bet with the heart not the head.

Got another one for you, friend of mine owns a bar in Cowboy and like most of the bars there has an LCD outside for watching sports.

As a long time regular, I know the staff well – probably too well.

Anyways, I showed up 20 mins before the early kick-off with Boro and there were these 3 hags sitting around the bar beer chowing down on some somtam while watching some Korean soap opera.

Needless to say, I took great pleasure in changing the channel and they looked around to see who did this?

So then BKKJames youre married man, with a child who is more then well known in the notorious Soi Cowboy area of Bangkok, with a misses who's under instruction to leave the room when they footballs on.

Take it the misses wears the trousers then!

Old habits die hard mate.

[mrbojangles]

Got a few myself. One in particular is if i buy a new City shirt or some sort of memorabilia. When we are playing and i wear it for the first time, if we lose I NEVER wear it again whilst we are playing. So, new T-shirts etc. get their first outing against a team we should beat.

dont really care. if its offensive and anyone thinks its against forum rules for me to say so, you can report the post. Ill give myself a warning

One of my best football watching buddies is a girl, and she's not a lesbian, so, I don't agree with that one.

[MiG16]

Wasn't suggesting you were, just warding off potential arguments.

[MiG16]

Many use the nickname Tom and have an affinitity for the Blues.

Superstitions

Rather than open a new thread I thought I'd just slip this funny article from "The Independent" in here, but it's really about the footballers themselves.

The first one is :-

In October last year, the players for Zimbabwe's Midlands Portland Cement side were ordered into the crocodile-infested Zambezi by their coach for a spot of ritual cleansing, intended to banish bad spirits. Seventeen went in; 16 came out. And they lost their next match.

None for me watching West Ham, although being very drunk does help at times...

I do have superstitions when it comes to playing Football though which sometimes are bordering on obsessive...
