i had the end seat right next to the exit. Behind my right shoulder is the steward.

We've conceded.

Some guy appears by the steward and in the loudest voice possible proceeds to tell the steward about how it's Gents cup final, how their whole town should be here, when else are they going to play here,,,,,, I look over at him and the steward and continue to watch the game.

Delli then does his party trick and foghorn behind me starts again. I've had enough and stand to face them and ask politely that they take their
Conversation into the concourse and not in my ear. They look at me and shut up. Then continue as I sit down. So I stand again and ask politely again with ask the steward, please do your job I'm trying to watch the football. He says ok

I sit and they start again. I flipped now and tell the steward he needs to sort himself out and make the other guy to go back into the concourse. So we start a full-on row before he takes my photo. I'm livid and the steward is like the 5th official in a European game, wears the kit but does nothing. Eventually the head steward comes along asks what the problem is and tells the guy to go.

The the steward and the chief steward start chatting about how I'm right and we should let the gentleman watch the game..... in my ear.

This is when I knew Spurs were not going to qualify I for the next round.


Argggghhh. Thanks for letting me vent. And if you're that bloke with the voice of Brian Blessed, you're a £&@!

If you can't get a bit of peace and quiet at a Spurs game the world has gone to rack and ruin. People might have been trying to sleep. Dreadful.

Nicely done.

If you were a West Ham fan you would have punched the steward, punched the gobby fucker, punched the head steward and then started fighting with your own mates/fans around you.

Which is what you would have done many years ago when you still went to matches. :)

I had a similar evening, except this busy **** in front of me kept chatting to the steward as I was explaining how its Gent's cup final.

He was pretty ugly though so didn't want to talk when he looked at me in case he took it as some kind of affectionate invitation to chat.

If you really were the guy you'd be writing in capital letters and a bold font,!,,

On refelection, do you think you might have overreacted a bit mate?

I really don't. When it's someone in a seat next to you, that's just bad luck, This guy was no where near his seat p, he wasn't even from the section of seats near me, he was just shouting to his mate the steward and he had a voice that would drown out an airport. They could have had a conversation anywhere else but within not standing so close.

I'm normally mild mannered but the own gaol and Alli red card pissed me off and I had to say something.

Fair enough. I've been sat next to my fair share of morons, but I tend to just sit there hating them silently!
