I Shouldn't Laugh But....

It isn’t a nice attribute to laugh at others misfortunes, but I really can’t seem to help myself this weekend.

It all started comically enough with watching Citeh crumble against the Pies. I know it’s rotten but I find own goals so comical. Of course it has happened to Bolton more times than I care to recall, so I don’t feel bad sniggering.

Then I’ll admit to my own personal shameful moment where I found myself watching you’ve been framed, but I still find it hard to beat anything funnier than a bit of slapstick falling overness. Perhaps I’m from the wrong time and should have been born in the era of Laurel and Hardy or Music Hall all those years ago. Anyways, you’ve been framed is soo much more watchable now that Jeremy Beadle doesn’t do the annoying bit in the middle. Sometimes you need to laugh at something mindless and I see to manage mindless quite easily.

Following on nicely, I made a trip to Ewok Park on Sunday to watch the mighty BWFC take on t’Rovers. Much respect to them for cutting their prices to a very reasonable £15, resulting in a very sold out game and excellent atmosphere.

So to further enhance my mood not only did Blackburn play 2000000 times better than us they managed to lose 1-0 to a fantabulous Campo header. What’s more their super strikers managed to miss TWO penalties. Being rather short, and all the action was at the other end of the ground to where I was; I couldn’t work out what on earth was going on.

The murmur went round, “refs given a pen, I don’t fookin believe it!” I couldn’t bear to watch by our rather magnificent keeper saves, and we’re dancing in the Darwin end!!!! About 20 seconds later the shout comes round again, “Penalty” and we’re singing saying yeah and they missed it. “No, another penalty!” You’ve got to be having a laugh, I’ve never ever ever heard of a game where 2 penalties are given within 25 seconds of each other. So imagine the BWFC joy and delight when the second Blackburn striker sees his penalty saved in the same way!!!

Oh the delight oh the sheer ecstasy it’s like winning the lottery and the FA cup all in the same second!!!! Then you see thousands of Blackburns starting to trudge home. And then I remember I’ve got Campo on my coupon as last scorer at 16/1 – a free ticket!!!

I suppose all this laughing is proof of Karma exists. Whilst I’m sniggering at others misfortunes I’ve got my own woes with the uninvited houseguest is still here a week in and three weeks to go. Can I cope??

This pixie is not the first to exhibit schadenfreude towards her fellow football supporter kin and she probably won't be the last. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it just as much when the shite hart laners get beat but I still feel for the poor city folk who went all that way to watch that shite.
Oh well, Pixie hasn't been endearing herself to all sorts of hovel groups across the pennines these days. Oh well someday when goes for that holiday in the 'dales she'll get mugged by a digruntled customer.
Speking of muggings, Bolton seemt o be specialising in them these days, These victories against the likesof Watford, Blackburn are the football equivalent of a happy slapping really. This envelope pushing bunch don't deserve the points,third! third!, you're having a laugh, I hope pixie, you've kept a newspaper cutting, I don't think thats going to last.

Anyway, enough of this football business, I've written more on this blog than my own.
Signing off.
TTFN


PS: I have a good feeling about November the 25th.
