A Proper Football Game

I spent last Saturday with some English friends from work and Brian Legg. We had some tickets to a proper English football match at Brentwood- Nottingham Forest FC v. Brentwood FC. We met up at 11:30 in the morning to start pub crawling our way to the 3 pm match. Our buddy Martin, who had the tickets, is a long-time Nottingham fan. He planned to go with his dad and brother, and we joined them.

So, just four pubs and one dirty sidewalk later, we arrived at the Brentwood Football Grounds. What ensued is close to what I would call hooliganism - plenty of yelling, cursing, and inappropriate taunting of the other team. The only reason I say "close to hooliganism" is because no all out fights happened. The match was great - Forest came from 2 goals down to win 4-2.

After the match, we went out for a few more pints. I finally got home about 12:30. Good day!
