As the title suggests, what is the biggest bust up you have had at the footy!
Fortunately for me, I havent been on the end of any fists or handbags, but I aye mind having a right barney with a couple in the RDS.
To put it lightly, Im a tad vocal to say the least. I let my heart rule my head and can occasionally get a wee bitty heated at the footy. That said, on this particular day i felt i had a point (many will disagree, many have but im nae caring ). So here I am, season ticket holder for the last 20 years, nae that should matter, but voicing my opinion as always. Couple in front, also ST holders and with child in tow, start having a dig at me because im using foul language in front of their kid. The Dad decides to get up, stands in front of me and tries to stare me out, then starts a tirade of abuse towards me... nae swear wordies though.
So after weeks of tuts, stares and references to me being a terrible man, i decide to have a wee pop. I lean forward and calmly tell these parents that their is a wonderful family stand across for the RDS that they and their precious 10 old (ish) child can go sit in if they arent happy with my opinions and/or a language. The dad then decides to offer me a square go behind the stand, to which i sarcastically replied " this isnt a very good example you are setting your child here". The dad now raging, goes to grab me, when suddenly his wife steps in and marches him out.... I never saw them again and its been two years since. Truth be told, i was glad! I was shitting myself as this guy was a big laddie and his missus looked like she could handle hersel'... ya ken the type!!
