"You say it's only a game one more time ......."
My mrs don't get it but she went mad when Brentford scored fair play
My missus doesn’t believe that I haven’t been gambling and that there’s no way me jumping and screaming around the living room is not money related.
Excuse me I’ve understood it since 1976, my first season ticket, and last time I checked im definitely a lady
Listening to the game on headphones in a sunny climate, my mrs went mental at me for waking up several Germans when I yelled when the goal went in ⚽️
gillsam now that name is a blast from the past
one of the first names i remember from the pre 2000 period on this message board i think
In all fairness I know plenty of blokes who don't 'get' football.
My old girls supported City before I was born.
I have a recurring conversation with my wife every time I come home from the City-“How did they get on?” “We won/lost/drew” “So what does that mean now?” I just can’t be bothered trying to explain it any more.
My wife and 2 daughters have been through it with me.
They've seen my obsession get stronger and stronger since I stopped playing Saturday leagues and as I've gone to more and more aways since my boy started coming and I've organised the coaches.
Each daughter has had years of a season ticket and my middle one has one for next year ( along with my son).
She and her friend and my wife and my mate's wife are all coming to Hull and have been to a few games this year.
They don't understand the intricacies, but they definitely get the importance of it all.
:hehe:

This was supposed to be a reply to Jamie ccfc!:facepalm:
Mine gets it.
I thought she was calling me to tell me it was FT.. all I had was a massive high pitched yesssssss in my ear.
My response could have caused a crash on the m42 :hehe:
How to explain the offside rule to the ladies...
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till.
Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire.
Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.
She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and whilst it is in flight you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes.
Always remembering that until the purse has actually been thrown it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

Mrs D is still recovering emotionally from the in house play off celebrations v Palace years ago. It involved a "pitch invasion"..jumping over the sofa and screaming like a lunatic at the tv. Nearly ended up with my head inside the tv as I tripped en route. Followed by jumping up and down like an idiot and nearly headbutting the light fitting plus "aeroplanes" around the living room. Now to me....thats fairly normal and didnt involve bodily injury when celebrating,unlike a few other goal celebrations. To me....its normal. But...some women just dont get it. BTW....shes coming to Hull for her first away😁
Mine gets it. We were in a restaurant in Jackland. She was over at the salad bar I was at the table to nervous to eat praying my phone would beep as my nephew was constantly updating me. Then the word ZOHORE appeared, I shout at the top of my voice "get effin in" She returns to the table mins later, I take it they've scored! Better still, we're in Swansea Grand theatre, Evita about to start, when my phone beeps again 1 - 1 94th min, i'm slapping my elderly dad and fellow season ticket holder on the head and we go crazy. She and my mum going Shhh and audience wondering what's going on!!
Mrs P has zero interest in football and gets fed up with me and my lad constantly talking about it. Whilst you lot are talking promotion possibilities it’s all about relegation permutations in this household
I don't think it's to do with men or women getting the game. I believe it's what you've grown up with and exposed to as a young un. Obviously as a young boy you are probably going to get the opportunity at school to play football and when I was at school girls did t get the opportunity to and therefore probably didn't get in to it. Also it helps if your parents or brother/sister or mates are into it growing up. I know women who are very knowledgable about their club and football in general. They completely get it! The buzz, the excitement when you're young looking upto your heros on the pitch, the new kit released and training gear....the atmosphere and last but certainly not least the friends and people you meet. Don't get me wrong it's a physical sport and perhaps some women or men don't like the thought of going out getting all muddy on a pitch or standing in the cold watching your team but I do t think it's to do with gender. I don't even think it's a men's sport at all - there are some women out there who are extremely talented footballers given the opportunity to play since young. obbiously there are some women who do not like football and I understand it's preference and no one is the same - just like Im not keen on the cricket or olympics etc.
When growing up my mother, sister and brother were really into football - my dad couldn't stand it all and ought it was a load of nonsense! Lol my mother was the one shouting during the matches etc. I think the bottom line is - you are ever into it or your not no matter the gender
