Leaving the game early

Only one I can recall was the FM Cup Final v Chelsea when we were 5-1 down.

Partly due to the score but more to being fcked after the OT Derby the day before, followed by a Special Brew session on the coach on the way down.

Didn't think I'd make it back to Victoria. On the tube back I incredibly spotted someone I knew on the platform who asked what the score was.

5 fckin 1 I replied as the tube moved out. Next minute some Chelsea grizzlers in the carriage said it was 5 fackin 4 mate!

To be fair they were fine and I made it back home in one piece. Never left early since.
 
Once, Barcelona away getting thumped and couldn’t face being kept behind for 40 mins after
 
The same couple leave early on my row every single game, no matter what the score. Why leave at 1-1 when anything could happen? Everyone else just shakes their head every week.
 
Simod cup final in 86 , my uncle made us go at 5-1, turned the radio on in the car outside in Wembley car park it was 5-4, didn’t believe it, I’ve never left a match early since,

Maybe if you paid attention to the match instead of being a nosy **** you'd have a better time.

I just think it’s weird, like going to watch a film and going 10 mins before the end, before the murderer is reveale, what’s the point, fair enough if you’re winning by 3 goals but come on, the match the other night was on a knife edge.

I buy individual match tickets so get to sit with lots of different groups, and there are plenty of people who aren't desperately interested in the football.

I get the impression it's something they've done for years, and is more of a social thing, or even a habit, these days. It's possible to enjoy going to the match, even enjoy watching the game, but after 100s of matches over the years, just not be that desperately passionate that they'd need to watch the last five minutes if it means thirty minutes in traffic, or queuing for the tram.
 
I'm not arsed who leaves early, the only bit that fills me with dread is if some **** gets up after 20 minutes then wanders back with food and drink.
 
Only once during the Pearce era , God it was dull , it was a hot sunny day and I just wanted to be out enjoying the sunshine, not depressed- makes me appreciative the wonderful football we now get to watch though
