Right. I have to spend this weekend with my gf. But, on Saturday there's the small matter of Man U vs. Chelsea. I asked her if I could come to her house on Saturday afternoon after the football, and for some reason she went schiz because I think football is more important than her (not more important dear, AS important!).

She works Saturday morning til 2pm anyway, the football's only going on til 2.30 (I think). Now she wants me to come Friday night, but that would mean spending Saturday morning with her mum ( :eek: ) and trying to explain to the old girl that I need to go watch the football in the pub when she already thinks I'm an alcoholic :mad:

So my point is that I need an excuse that will let me watch the football, not go on Friday, and not get in trouble.Any ideas?
 
Can't you just record the game? I don't like the way you see spending time with your girlfriend as a chore to be honest: Right. I have to spend this weekend with my gf.
 
Why do you need an excuse? You're your own man. I'm willing to bet if the tables were turned and she wanted to watch Sex in the City(or what ever is her fav program) she'd be sat in front of the telly.
 
1. Go to missus' on Friday night
2. Say you're going into town to have a wander round on Saturday morning - actually do so and pick up a nice lil pressie for the missus.
3. Watch footy in pub.
4. Tell her you're watching the footy in the pub and for her to meet you, but you have a surprise for her.
5. She meets you in pub - and you give her the pressie and watch the end of the game.
6. Rag the hell out of her to your hearts content.

There's your problem. If you see spending time with her as a chore you should probably split up.

Oops, I didn't mean to say it like that. I really don't see it as a chore at all. Oh God, what if she thinks like all of you? Omg, maybe I should just do what she wants...

Well yes. Can't believe all this 'scheming' people are suggesting, christ.

You legend. I might even throw in a high-five as a tribute to you.

Wow, that actually might work :)

It won't. Lying to that extent doesn't work that well. And say she finds out from one of your friends? Happens to be in conversation? Wonder what she would think then? Going behind her back?

It's not lying you f00, it's surprising her - hence the pressie. :p

It's just a unexpected consequence that while waiting for her to finish work in town to give her it, the footy game happens to be on.

Tis simple :D
 
But it's not lying, the plan is to tell her hes in town at the pub after his walk. What the hell is wrong with him doing something when she isn't around to be with him anyway?

Well, he could record the game. But whats the point? Live sport is live sport. Its never the same when it's recorded.

She's a girl. She wants to be seen whilst football is on.

Of course it's a chore.

Aye. If this is allowed to continue what is she going to want through the World Cup? She needs to know now that although she's terribly important and a lot of your time is devoted to her, sometimes there's other things you'd rather do, like watch a big match.

Heaven forbid England get to the WCF and she wants to spend quality time with you :/

As I'd rather slam my nuts in a drawer than watch a football match, I say go with the gf.......as footie isn't going to get you hot shex.

....although the way some of those great jessies prance around kissing and hugging after a goal there might actually be a possibility of some brokeback-lovin to be had *spits in palm* :eek:

Quality time with the girlfriend can happen at any point. Live sport can't. She needs to know that proritising isn't available at this point, because you can't move a live footy match.

You obviously don't understand it anyway. He wouldn't be asking if he didn't care about footy, and as you don't why are you even replying? Its not like he was asking what shade of puce to buy furniture in to avoid clashing with his carpets, or what kind of concealer to buy his boyfriend. See yourself out, there's a good chappie.

She'll walk all over you for the lifetime of the relationship if you always do what she wants.

Its easier to get forgiveness than to get permission.

BTW, did you fall back on your extensive experience to say 'lying' to this extent never works?

-=-=-=-

Out of this entire thread the only decent response was Rich_L's!

I mean, I expect him to respond decently but the rest of you have let yourselves, the forums and the whole male population down :(
 
Football, mates, birds. I wouldn't even bother pussyfooting around it. I'd just say no, I'll see you Saturday after the footy. I am the long term relationship king.

Edit - ah Gilly just said that in more detail.
