bkkjames Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The only superstition I have is that I never ever place a bet on my team in any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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.

LeungKen Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 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. More here :- http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/footbal...ll-1780143.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSingh Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
