Girl vs. Football (Specific dilemma, help me out!)

qwerty said:
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?

This thread makes me sad, I didn't realise quite so many men were under the thumb in relationships. We need to set up some sort of crisis centre for them so we can try to help them restore their lost manliness and regain control of their lives.

Yes. What GD needs is *more* threads from people who know more about TCP/IP than they do about women.

I say, let 'em die.

Meh. Its OK taking them to one or two games a season, but girls shouldn't be at footy matches.

One OR two? One, maybe. Anymore and they'll get the impression they're welcome to tag along whenever they want, which they're not.
 
If I thought a football match was worth putting off seeing my girlfriend, I'd be questioning how much I wanted to be with her :)

Thats by-the-by though itsn't it, if you aren't a footy fan.

Any girl I go out with needs to know that certain inalienable things happen in my life. I will go to Leeds matches. I will watch England whenever they play. I will play football on saturdays. I will fall out with her if she tries to get in the way of these things.

Of course, this may change once I'm married. I may no longer play football by that time, for instance. But any woman I take to wife will understand my feelings and stance on football ;)

This man speaks the truth.

If you don't like football you just wouldn't understand and if they know from the beginning then this problem shouldn't arise anyway.

Why the hell should he miss one of the biggest matches of the season, especially considering she won't even be at home anyway.

Fair enough he could go over on the Friday night and then watch it at the pub while she is at work.

Unless they're Brazilian or Swedish, those girls are welcome at football matches any day.

Fraid not. Not at matches I'm at.

However, televised matches I'm not at, and when the ball is out of play/at half time/when substitutions are being made the girls are on telly, thats fine :p Otherwise its too big a distraction.
 
I couldn't be bothered to read all this thread. Grow some balls, this isn't a specific thing with your missus, welcome to the World which us men like to call 'The World Of Women'. She knows you like football and she wants a power trip over it. The conversation should go like this:

You: "I'm going to watch the match on Saturday so I'll be a bit late round yours after you finish work"

Her: *random woman babble branding you a git*

You: "Grow up, it's an hour, tops"

She'll go off on one and probably come out with something about going out with her mates. You let her, she comes round yours after she's been out and you listen to a bit of drunken randomness and have some good old make-up sex.

She's being totally unreasonable. Just put your foot down dude, no elaborate plans or unnecessary effort needed. :)
 
She wants you to wait at home with her mum while she is at work? :confused:

You didnt make the mistake of asking her rather than just telling her you were busy did you ?

Mention in passing that you think her mum is quite hot, she might think twice about leaving you two alone. ;)

You cant watch footy with women, they never stop jabbering :mad:
