Okay, so I saw some of this one on TV. Not all, so here is my general match experience from last Sunday.
Plan was to go to the $ky House (technically Virgin, but it gets $ky Sports, and otherwise known as my grandparents' house) for around kick off, but I got out of the shower and felt so ill that I had to lie down and curl up for a while, so instead I got there just in time for the first goal. Which was nice. Except the Ryan Taylor bit.
We'd mostly been playing quite well, so because we are NUFC, they equalised. Bastards. 51 minutes in the first half looks odd though, because of stretcherings off and some sort of headbutt, apparently. I prefer the rugby clock thing. And the miked-up-ness off the refs. The red button used to let you turn off all the commentary options and just play the ref telling the players off and that sort of thing, but it doesn't any more. I don't to hear blokes waffling on over the top of it.
Anyway, at half-time, I went upstairs to borrow their scanner, because the drivers on ours don't get on with Windows 7 and we have a massive pile of music to scan for the group we play in. It took ages to work out because there isn't a button on the machine like there is on the one at home so I nearly missed the start of the second half, but then I didn't and my grandma made me a banana sandwich to fix the illness.
So we played a bit more football, and someone (I think it was Guthrie?) had just gone over the bar (not literally, the ball did that bit) when I really had to leave because we were late for rehearsal and my mam had to drag me out of the door. The rest of the match, for me, was a text from my dad just as we arrived, suggesting quite strongly that I might want to watch MOTD later because new Demba scored a rather nice goal. I took his advice and yes, it was rather. Then a text confirmed the result arrived in the middle of playing a Bach suite or something. I don't really like that one, but we don't play anything by Queen. We did the MOTD theme a bit later on though, so that was nice. It has a twiddly bit in the middle that no-one's ever heard of until they play it, but I originally played it 11 years ago at school, so I can already do that bit.
I think I've rather forgotten about the football, so I'm going to end this one now.
