Mine are like that too Declan, but in many ways I’m glad they’re not interested - saves a lot of money and heartache! Took Danny to a game a couple of years back and he said the best thing about it was the chips DRB bought for him at half-time. Mind you, it was a poor 2-0 win over Yeovil! He’s no intention of repeating the experience, whether chips are on offer or not. They do laugh (openly the little bastards!) at my leaping around, cursing etc when I watch on tv. We watched the Swansea game here in Benalmadena and the 2 girls went shopping whilst Danny played on his iPad. Dave Walmsley’s thesis on the Death of Football had its accuracies :-(
