Award Winning Worst/Best Game Missing Excuses

[jayohaitchenn]

I don't think I've ever missed a game that I intended to go to. I did, however, leave at half time against Rovers at home last season.

this is more of a series of events that should have led to missing a game that i didn't...

i was 17 and nearing the date for my driving test and like all nearly legal drivers i was on the look out for my first car.

having flicked through the local rag i had come across a polo for a mere 200 quid, excellent i thought so i got the old man to take me to check it out.

after a quick test drive i was happy that for 200 quid this was a first car i coulod be very proud of.

needless to say very shortly after haning over the money the head gasket blew... we managed to tow the car back to the people who sold it and after an exchange they agreed to give me my money back.

by the time all of this had happened it was one o'clock on the 22nd of feb 1997 in milton keynes, swindon were due to kick off in two hours at maine road.

i convinced the old man that we could still make it so we started on our way, what happened next?  yes, of course, traffic - so we'd had the worst start to the day possible and we were now stuck in traffic - 'don't worry dad, it'll be alright, we'll make it' i say.

course we did make it, with half an hour to go, 1-0 down to a horlock goal but luckily we were just in time to see nicky summerbee make it 2, we lost 3-0 and we actually tried to leave early would you believe, sadly the stewards wouldn't let us.

i did miss a game once due to over sleeping, my dad was away and i'd promised walrus the use of his season ticket, i didn't wake up till about an hour before kick off.  felt pretty bad about that one.

you also had a poor excuse when you hurt your back?!!

pfffft

[Kinky Tom]

yeah, but i was in france for that...

although i was back home for the city away match and we called trashton gate to ask if i could stand at the back as i was told not to sit down for a couple of months due to the fracture, miserable fuckers told me i wouldn't be able too.  cunts

[Jean-Francois is God]

So that was your fault was it you cunt?

I would like to think that is was my soul fault for King getting the sack, however his ability to be a decent manager probably did him more harm.  Iffy was not that bad, I mean he brought Petr Mikolanda to the club

Spent all day cutting wood with my old man in the 80s on the promise that we would go to Bournemouth (only an hour away where i used to live), only for the conning fucker to say he didnt want to go as he could'nt park!

So the excuses are:

A- My Old man was a conning cunt (at the time).
B - Too difficult to park (largest car park in the league at the time).

Swindon won as well........

Let it go Flash.....let it go....

If only you had let me know Flash, you could have parked at mine

I once lost all my wages on the gee gees...so hitched to Aldershot and slept in the ground on the friday night.....and spent Saturday morning hiding inside the ground...jeez i was keen in them days.
Managed to get a free lift back and all......a real cheap awayday but i never did it again.
That was in the days when Swindon v Aldershot was a juicy affair on the terraces.

[THE FLASH]

If only you had let me know Flash, you could have parked at mine

He would of still found a reason not to go....

[yeo]

I've left several games after 10 minutes because I couldn't be arsed and gone back to the Pub.Loyal supporter!I think 90 minutes is to long,games should be changed to an hour with no half time.
