A Sunday lunchtime pint in The Griffin, and a quick chat with Sky News who were filming a piece on the forthcoming World Cup, has caused me to think. A lot.
I had considered writing about yesterday’s big football match (American variety) between Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos but, frankly, life’s too short. And it would have meant watching it.
Good luck to them. Officials dropping handkerchiefs for reasons I’m yet to fathom and the most convoluted timekeeping since Ray Biggar (twenty one years on, us Brentford fans still won’t let it go) just aren’t for me. It’s not for want of trying but I just don’t get it, I’m sorry.
And this is a genuine apology because, as with most thing Americans do, they do it big and they do it oh so well. The coverage, that is.
To read the rest of this article, season 2013/14 is now available to download onto Kindle, in full. Containing previously unseen content, you can do so here for less than the cost of one matchday programme.
Thanks for reading over the course of the campaign. For now I need to make space on this page for any follow up. The ‘close season’ / World Cup columns continue in full, further on in this site.
