Shouting at the telly in the pub - marvelous

There was a false start and as they brought the horses back a particularly frisky grey threw his rider and the trainer struggled like mad to calm him down as the jockey chased after him and eventually, to a rousing cheer in the pub, managed to remount.
The race restarted and all the horses set off except for the grey which just stood there on the starting line, obviously in a horsey grump, to an even bigger cheer.
A had to be there moment but most amusing.

Often charactorised by too much phlegm in the back of the throat, the only known cure for Football Fever is a rapid intake of imported lager (or "Pizzvater", as directly translated from the original Dutch) to loosen the blockage, followed by a sharp jab to the solar plexis.

and bumped into a few English Rangers 'supporters' and I quote
"Na mate we ain't 'ere for the football" while sporting a smashin' MLS Crew tattoos.
I might hate Rangers with a passion, but I know for a fact that they didn't go down there to wreck the place

I like it when England win, but as a Scot I like it when they lose
so it's an easy deal for me
Scotland losing to Wales is an entirely different matter, the fuckers

St Patrick is supposed to have shooed away some snakes.
I think we're smart enough to realise that dragons don't exist, but the Oirish really believe the thing about the snakes...
