True enjoyment of my Saturday
night ritual watching of Match of the Day is dependent on not knowing the
scores in advance, increasingly difficult these days given the preponderance of
smartphones among the spectators at the matches I visit in the afternoon, and
the inevitable loudmouth who insists on announcing the premiership goals as
they go in; today at West Auckland an exception to the norm actually checked first
with his mates whether they wanted to know the half times or remain in
ignorance ‘so as not to spoil Match of the Day’ – unfortunately they lacked the resolve to
resist and so I got an earful of scores before retiring to a safe distance to
retain some uncertainty for the highlights show.
