He came in, but I was facing away from his desk and was on the phone when he did, and ripped it off his monitor, screwed it up, muttered a few swear words (so other colleagues told me) and then stormed off home. We didn't see him again for 3 WEEKS!!!
Explain how that works in reality, boss's son?Football would be better if after a season everyone would just accept that, based on the results of that season, team A was better than team B, who in turn were better than team C, and so forth.
That way the whole thing could come to an amicable conclusion, and it could all stop.
The current system is flawed because just as you think the matter has finally been settled, the whole tirade starts all over again.

Now, I like football as much as the next person (who likes football at any rate), but....
Last night, a work colleague (mate is not the right word!) was worried about the tonking his team was likely to receive later that evening. Discussion turned to the recent 8-2 Man Utd annihilation of Arsenal and I enquired as to how he would react if his team let in 8 goals.
The response was : "I won't come in work tomorrow."
As it turned out, the game in question was indeed over bar the shouting at half time and his his team were well out of it. There were no more goals in the second half and the anticipated further humping never materialised.
He came in today with a face like a camels arse in a sandstorm and was somewhat reluctant to talk about it, but my words of 'comfort' were : "At least they didn't let in 8. Would you really not have come in if that had happened?"
The reply, as per the previous day was affirmative. (He wouldn't come in).
Now my team are crap, but this to me is just sheer utter muppetry. If I did this every time my sorry lot lost, I would never leave the house.
We started to take the piss by saying things 'If <insert my team here> lose this weekend, is it Ok if I phone in on Monday with hiccups/fractured eyelash/burnt tongue from hot pizza/etc'
"No." He replied. "That is just feeble." (The irony was lost on him)!
What we really want is further ideas to take the piss/humilate the c ock, as none of the rest of us are impressed with the idea of him threatening to throw a sickie next time his team get rogered (we suspect that this would explain a few 'sickdays' in the past as well). We were thinking along the lines of a dummy and baby bib from his club shop, but want to throw open to the floor....away you go....

Premier league ticket prices for league 1 football....
and before anyone tries to be a smartarse I know they are in the championship I was referring to the standard of football played.
Never fails to amuse how on PH some dont understand the rivalry and passion football supporters have, yet would defend their TVR/Caterham/Lotus to the hilt.
The morning following the relegation of a mates team, a supporter of a local rival club waited by the entrance until said mate arrived at work, purely to rub it in. Shame employers take a dim view of violence on the premises IMO.

Is he one of those 12 year old child-prodigy PHD students, or did a grown man really have a three week long sulk over the results of a football game?
A grown man. He hated losing at anything, and just couldn't face it especially after all of the bold claims he had made prior to the game.I realise that it isn't normal behaviour, and if Utd had lost that night I would have been back at my desk as normal.

1) Unless he was in the team, he didn't lose anything. 2) Maybe now he'll learn to wind his neck in a bit. But he probably won't next time, the massive baby.

I knew someone would ask that question. This was in a shared offices of PhD students. PhD students get allowances of holiday, but nothing formal. So as long as there is no meetings, seminars etc booked then there would be no reason for his supervisor to have a problem with him taking a holiday (or a sulking period) on a whim like that.
Ah well, not like it's a proper job he's absenting himself from then! What's his thesis going to be, 'The politics of anger' or somesuch?

Is he the manager or one of the players? To have that sort of emotional attachment as an idle spectator is somewhat OTT.
A couple of years ago, my FIL was still working at the local police headquarters as a porter, and one of the guys was a massive arsenal fan(this is near london), and everytime they lost, he phoned in sick the next two days, so as to avoid the pisstakingYoof Full Chav said:

1) We aren't that near Manchester...
2) There aren't any Manchester Utd fans here....
So the muppet in question doesn't even haven't to run that much of a gauntlet of pisstaking anyway...but still 'would take the day off'
He was still sulking & had a face like a busted a
hole in February for most of this morning, but is slowly starting to come back out from under his stone!

I suspect you don't appreciate the hatred and history between Man. United and Leeds United, then?1) We aren't that near Manchester...

Bro-in-Law is a ManUtd fan (& steward @ Old Trafford). He says he's not bothered about Leeds apart from when their paths cross on the odd skirmish like the other night. He reserves his hatred mainly for Liverpool, Arsenal & Chelsea in that order. He wasn't even that bothered about Man City and only started to take them seriously when the Arabs turned up with sackloads of loose change....Leeds are well off the Man Utd radar and haven't been taken seriously for years...On the other hand, said muppet keeps referring to Man Utd as 'the biggest enemy', 'our traditional rivals' etc....yes there is hatred but at the moment it is very much one way and has been for some time now....Leeds immediate 'biggest' rivals for the forseeable short term are likely to be Barnsley, Doncaster, Hull and possibly Boro....but muppet won't have it.
As for the history, (McQueen, Jordan, Cantona etc) yes, that's there as well but again it's mainly one way...
