Arrived at KM really early as it was my first stint as a steward. Was waiting for the briefing meeting and decided to phone Nickster (eldest sprog) for a Team GB update - ie Bradley Wiggins) . Tapped in nick into my mobile, and got this male voice on the phone. D'oh.......it was Medibot, somewhere near Harlow. Anyway, it was good to catch up, and as he was in a pub watching the olympics, he was able to answer my question without me having to make another call.

Tee hee! glad you got the answer you needed anyway.
My embarrassing moment of the day was probably looking around and noticing that I was the only Sutton person left in the very full clubhouse, and that I was sitting there alone with a pint in my hand like Norma No-Mates when all these weird leering Harlow players suddenly converged on me and attempted to chat me up.

You shouldn't expect anything less in Essex! ;D I hope you told their number 10 he should have been sent off for trying to use our keeper's head as a football. |

Mine would have been doing live interviews on Radio Wiltshire, before and after the game while worse for wear on ale from the excellent drinking town that is Lewes. Am told it sounded ok though, at least I was relaxed! Though when asked what our best goal was I had to describe the only one I could actually remember on the spot!

Oh well, if it was the most memorable it was probably the best |

Sound sufficiently authoritative and you can get away with saying any old rubbish.
Alan Hansen's been doing it for years. ;D

My most embarrassing moment at a football match was when I went with a mate to watch Cambridge Utd v QPR in 1982/83. I got through the turnstiles with the rangers fans (my mate was a super hoop) and the police were frisking everyone and confiscating anything that was a potential weapon (this was the heyday of football hooliganism and electric fences (Stamford Bridge a la Ken Bates). Being a good natured fan, I was quite happy to be frisked by this officer until he looked at me quizically whilst feeling an object in the top zipped pocket of my leather jacket. It suddenly dawned on me what it was and my stuttering explanation fell on deaf ears as he put his hand in my pocket and produced.............................a tampon! I had totally forgotten about the 'emergency' tampon I carried around for my then girlfriend who would always leave home without one. He held it up for everyone to see for what seemed like ages before slowly replacing it without batting an eyelid. I was allowed entry with my face a crimson red. I still cringe thinking about it today!

Oh dear! What a lovely boyfriend you were! I have had several moments of embarrassment at football matches, most of them involving falling over. I once fell through a seat at Villa Park; I have fallen into a muddy puddle at Basingstoke while attempting gymnastics with a metal railing. Last season I tripped while running drunkenly across Bognor's lovely patio-type thing and skidded for a long time on my knees, resulting in lots of blood (I was wearing shorts) and the contents of the top pocket of my bag flying in all directions. Bognor were mostly quite nice about it. It's not so embarrassing when drunk though, and being small and female I often get away with it as people tend to want to help me ;D A while ago, I joined in a chant a little too enthusiastically, yelling "COME ON YOU YELLOWS" at the top of my lungs without thinking, before realising that it was not what everyone else was yelling as we usually do... because we were playing in our away kit and our OPPONENTS were wearing yellow, not us!  |

Do you ever get to watch a game properly?  |

I feel a bit better now. Do you have to drink that much to endure the football you're watching  |

I'm not usually that drunk It's just that Bognor was a midweek game, I had the day off work and had spent the entire day drinking nice beer in Bognor. A mistake anyone could make! |

Shirley it'd be a mistake not to drink the nice beer?
Drinking alcohol is never necessary, but it is usually quite good fun.

My most embarrassing moment at a game was in the late eighties. I was stood behind the goal on what, back then, was a sandy bank. The club was just beginning work to concrete over and cover that end. The half time whistle went and I started to walk towards the clubhouse, talking to my mates... And promptly fell into one of the foundation holes which had been dug, to much hilarity for those that saw it. I also had to explain to my mum why my trousers were so dirty when I got home. |
