I was in the pub tonight and a gunt pal of mine came in, inevitably the converation turned to football. During our discussion on the game on Sunday he turned to me and said "I'm a better supporter than you; I've got a season ticket for Tynecastle" Using a whole load of poetic license [lying] I said to him "I've been to every Hibs home game bar 1 and I've been to half a dozen away games, how many away games have you been to" [I knew the answer was none]
He spluttered around for a bit and then changed the subject with "We'll win on Tuesday because we are a better football team than Hibs" Managing not to laugh I respnded with "How come we outplayed you for 75 minutes or so and particularly in the second half when we ripped you a new one?"
More spluttering, then
Him: We're in the premier league, somewhere you won't be next season
Me: We'll get promoted
Him: You'll be in the play offs and as usual you will bottle it
Me: Lets have a bet on that, how about £100.00
Him: £100 quid?
Me: OK let's make it £200
Him: I was thinking of a fiver and a pint
Me: £100 minimum or I'm not interested
Him: I'm not betting that amount
Me: Ironic really don't you think
Him: What's ironic about that?
Me: You talk the talk about Hibs being bottlers and when you get the chance to win £100 you bottle it.
Him: I'm not bottling it, I can't afford to bet that much
Me: You and your wife are on superannuated pensions from jobs you worked in for around 30 years , both of you. You own a house worth about £450k and don't have a mortgage so you can afford it.
Him: I'm not betting
Me: OK let's move on.
I'm claiming victory Green Flag Wave
EDIT: Just noticed I put this in the cowshed. Apologies admins I meant to put it in General Fitba chat
