On advice from the girlfriends boss at work we went for an evening meal at a pub in the middle of nowhere miles from where we live. What an err, entertaining night...
We get there and the first thing I notice is a couple of pool tables through the window. We ordered a few drinks and my girlfriend says do you fancy a game, so we had a quick game. Sat down at our table to order some food, had the meal, went and sat at the bar for a few drinks and hot chatting to the lovely old lady that owned the pub...i really nice evening. Then 6 big bouncer looking type guys walk in with their cases. Looked at the owner and she just said its league night. So we had a couple more drinks and these lads hadn't even got their cues out of their cases yet so we went over and started playing on one of the tables. We got half way through the game and one of them pipes up "you gunna be long on there, we've got some practice to get in". I said nah, just finish this game and its all yours. We finished the game and went back to the bar.
An hour or so passed and the other team entered the pub. The matches got under way and we could hear them all having a laugh and a bit of banter between teams. But it all changed rather quickly. All I heard was "keep your mouth shut, you little fat b*****d". I just though oh god, these guys are taking it a bit seriously aren't they! Well, all hell broke loose verbally. All I heard was shouting and swearing from about 10 different people and "touching ball" kept being said, not quite sure why. Then I just heard a glass smash and a cry of "arghhh". Some poor guy had a pint glass smashed over his head over a league match! Wtf? Well s**t hit the fan and they started fighting. At this point me and the mrs decided to bigger off and jumped in the car and headed off home.
What is wrong with people? I've never seen anything like that before over a league match! They should be ashamed of themselves.
