That being said, there are 'louts' in Southwark and pubs see them almost every other week when Millwall are playing at home.<br />Dave - well said, my sentiments without the argumentative generalisations.<br />Bailey - I didn't take it personally, I was generalising in order to start an argument because I was bored.rabidbarflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287790634237896071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-56356470697243953102010-07-02T20:58:28.713+01:002010-07-02T20:58:28.713+01:00Well, Boak's point wasn't that pubs were b...Well, Boak's point wasn't that pubs were being smug because they're not showing it, but that they were being smug *about* not showing it. The sign that wound her up was in the same vain as those passive aggressive notices saying "Well Behaved Children Welcome". I.e., maybe best left unsaid.<br /><br />Christ, football in the Rake would be a nightmare!Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-91747150019890845082010-07-01T13:42:36.458+01:002010-07-01T13:42:36.458+01:00Cookie, "football louts" do exist.

Most aren't, but louts generally drink lager, the correlation is hard to argue with.<br /><br />I do not like football and I do not like going into pubs that show football, partly because of the small minority that spoil it. I'm glad The Rake and some others are football free zones and I'm also glad that others positively encourage football supporters, so I can be sure where the football fun is, and ensure I avoid it.<br /><br />Actually, it's not true to say I don not like football. What I don't like is some of the side effects of the fun, which can be irritating to those of us who don't want to be involved.<br /><br />I ended up sailing a boat all day when England got stuffed. I didn't dare go into a pub, despite the fact that I was gagging for a pint. I didn't find any that were being smug about not showing the football.<br /><br />Being on the boat was great, I drank beer and sailed and found out via twitter that I'd not missed anything positive.<br /><br />What is wrong with a few pubs taking this stance? There are plenty around where you can watch the football.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-89832100766073764642010-06-28T13:44:12.862+01:002010-06-28T13:44:12.862+01:00Your view of "football louts" is both in...Your view of "football louts" is both incorrect and insulting. But you have a right to your opinion. As for why show the world cup. It's an event more than just sport. When the game of interest is on the country stops to watch it. Even those normally uninterested in football.<br /><br />If you do a good trade with the miserable old sods that hate the fun and enjoyment of others, good luck to you. But I and many others enjoy the football and will watch the games regardless of whether pubs choose to show them. We will watch them elsewhere, enjoy them and not tear up the place.<br /><br />And just because we played like shite and got knocked out doesn't mean it's over. I'll be watching the rest of the games either at home or in places that welcome me as the civil decent person I am.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-31889751377962512462010-06-26T18:47:40.376+01:002010-06-26T18:47:40.376+01:00One of my locals is showing the English match tomo...One of my locals is showing the English match tomorrow, the other isn’t, both have great beers and great company; I guess it will come down to the free chips at half time and an 11-year-old’s preference.ATJhttp://maltworms.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-1275210709268753282010-06-26T17:56:40.981+01:002010-06-26T17:56:40.981+01:00I used to have topless darts on in my high class e...I used to have topless darts on in my high class establishment in Cardiff.
