I went through to watch us against Hibs when I was 16 on the football special. I was on my todd and noticed a crowded pub and went in to chance my arm.
Made my way to the bar and tried to look nonchelant and mature. Big barman looks at me. I smile.
What age are you?,
19
Are you fuck.
I gave a pitiful called out smile.
I will be 18 in November. He didnt look convinced at that either. But he started to pour a pint.
He gave me it and told me to, stand in the fucking corner or you'll get me the jail.
I stood near a group of older guys, one of them looked at the metal badges on my scarf and said,
I think you're in the wrong pub son. This is a Hibs shop.
My face must have been a picture. He just smiled and told me not to worry. I stayed and had a great laugh, as they took the piss out of me, in a funny not aggressive way.
When I went to get my third pint, big barman told me, That's you're fucking last. Can't remember a single thing about the game. But, my first pint in a pub stuck.
