Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City to be precise. Am honestly not sure if they have football out there. This is my greatest concern.

FIve dollar?
EDIT: Because the most important part of any overseas adventure is watching football in a different country....

I can't believe that
I can't believe people goes as far as Vietnam and that they are actually concerned about where to watch the football. As if there weren't enough excitements in a place like that.

I probably won't bother, if I'm honest, but Ms Foxtrot and the friend we're going to see out there are bound to go shopping for dressmaking accessories at some point. I just have to time it close to kick-off

It would be a different story if I'd googled a bar that showed
Episodes of 'Sex and the City' on loop.

That would be even worse

That is slanderous.
Never in a million years would I do such a thing. Although I do have a habit of encountering MASSIVE DRUGS wherever I go in the world.

Never deliberately though, I hasten to add. I went out to see my father and popped out for a pint in the student pub in Williamsburg, within an hour I'd managed to attract the local conspiracy theory nut, who had mountains of coke and weed.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:42, Reply)

I can't believe it either.
Neither can I believe that Darth is that stupid he failed to Google 'bars in Ho Chi Minh City that show football'.

Why go all that way and then waste time watching sport?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:22, Reply)

Exactly
I'm sure there are tons of more interesting things to do. And I don't mean shopping either, unless it's shopping of things that you can't find in here.

Because football is ballet for the common man
22 individuals at the peak of physical fitness performing unbelievable feats of agility and athleticism for 90 minutes, breathtaking drama, dropping a ball on a sixpence 50 yards away, weaving through a crowd of players with the ball at your feet. And occasionally lunging in two-footed at someone's knee.

Yeah but how often are they on TV?

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:42, Reply)

Not very often.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:56, Reply)

About as often as Nottingham Forest?

Yes
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:46, Reply)

It's 90 minutes of improvised drama.
With added shouting.
(Cave Duck, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:47, Reply)

Well
I'm the first one who likes to watch a good football match, as they're full of excitement and that; but not when you're on a very exciting, full of things to do different country (and continent)

Ah, but I watched the 1991 FA Cup Final in Amsterdam in preference to isiting the red light district.
So if you say that you've been invited to bizarre sex show, but have decided to watch the football instead then you'll probably score brownie points with Mrs Darth.
(Cave Duck, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:10, Reply)

I was at the 1991 FA Cup Final
Paul Gascoigne should have been sent off in the first minute for kicking Garry Parker in the FACE but wasn't even booked. A red card would have prevented him from horribly injuring himself when he tried to cut Gary Charles in half. Stuart Pearce scored one of the best FA Cup Final goals ever, Mark Crossley became only the second goalkeeper ever to save a penalty at Wembley, from Gary Lineker (the first, Dave Beasant, would later join Crossley on Forest's books) and then we went and fucking well lost in extra time when Des Walker, the best English centre-half since Bobby Moore, headed into his own fucking net.

Happy times
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:44, Reply)

Don't exagerate Darth. Gascoine only kicked Parker in the chest.
& Pearce's goal should have been disallowed due to pushing in the wall.
Plus winning by Walker's own goal was karma for having lost to Coventry in '87 due the admirable Gary Mabbutt's own goal.
And, Spurs had to win to allow them to complete a remarkable record of cup wins when the year ended in a 1.(20th century only)
(Cave Duck, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:57, Reply)

Oh yes, I feel much better now
A few points

a) a kick in the chest is still a red card offence unless you're Nigel de Jong, apparently
b) bollocks; also, pushing Spurs players is perfectly acceptable form on account of Spurs being cunts
c) Mabbutt's own goal was hilarious; Walker's was not
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:11, Reply)

Of course, both of Gascoine fouls should have been red cards. The ref (I think it was Roger Milford)
has admitted that he should have sent him off.

Wasn't Gary Charles sent to prison a little while back?

I believe so
