I couldn't make the match as I was working near Heathrow and up for a shitoclock meeting. I found a pub to watch the match and went in via the vault bar to see a few people huddled around a small tv watching sky sports. I asked if there was a bigger screen. The landlord led me to another bar and sat me down. Took my food order and said don't worry the footy will be on soon. I looked around but couldn't see a tv. He then appeared with a remote control and pointed it at the large wall opposite. A huge screen dropped down and I was able to watch the wonderful match whilst scoffing my food and sipping beer. A few locals got vaguely interested in the match and cheered very loudly for the underdogs when mr Mitch bagged the winner. What an awesome night and I made the morning meeting too! 😁
