You know that old gag when you’re watching football on the telly...

... and you get up to leave the room for a moment and someone then starts cheering and shouting “GOAL”?

“I’m not falling for that lame old joke” you say.

“No really, we’ve scored” your son insists.

Yeah that.

Exasperated after Reading’s equaliser I got up to get another round of drinks in. I was reaching into the fridge at the time the cheers went up. Came back in to the lounge with cold cans still believing it was 1-1 and Nasie Jr still celebrating. I reluctantly glanced at the telly to see Vrancic being mobbed before jogging back to the centre circle and the score 1-2 displayed in the top left hand corner.

Oh.
