Being a celtic fan is hard

[droopdog7]

Wife's birthday is tomorrow.  Plan to take her to dinner.  Being on the west coast, the game starts at 5:30 for me.  Sucks.

On Saturday, we are committed to go to some fancy dinner for eight.  If there is a game 7, I may have a seizure.  Sucks.

Divorce. It's what Red would've wanted.

If she doesn't like and prioritize watching the Cs, what did you marry her for in the first place?

Or... Go to a sports bar for a fancy ellegant dinner

This is why you always ask Edgar.

Oh, and why a DVR is essential like air to breath.

In CA you should be cosmopolitan enough to pull off an 8:30 birthday dinner.  You have my sympathies re: the Saturday obligation.  Would be nice if they could win the next two for you. ;-)

Well you can move here .... The games are usualy a couple of hours after midnight. I can think only of one reason that could keep you away from the tv but even then you won`t miss more than 30 mins

Thanks guys.  I can probably get away with tomorrow.  It won't be a big deal as we will be taking our kids who are eight and six (and well behaved).  I will DVR and try to find a place a place without a TV.  Don't think McDonald's has TV's so that is an option. 

The potential for Saturday is outright catastrophe.  Won't get into the details (unless people really want to hear them) but the dinner is for a neighbor (another non-sports fan) and getting out of it would be COMPLICATED.

you have get your wifes mind "right" ...

she needs to find another day to celebrate or just postpone her birthday a littel while.

Explain to her that Celtic loyality runs deep.

time to man up on this


KG would also expect no less from you.

You think you got it bad. My wife's birthday is on Thursday and she plans to celebrate it by having this huge party Saturday Night. Just about everybody invited to this party are laker fans. So, not only will I be miserable Thursday watching game 6...I'll be stuck dealing with those ****s game 7.

Hey, I would still rather be you on Saturday.  I will be stuck at a fancy restaurant at a dinner for eight that cost my neight $1200.  And here is the kicker.  I cannot think of a way to watch that game even if it is DVR'd. 

Check this out.  My eight-year-old is also a HUGE Celtic fan.  He's not going to the dinner (obviously) but he may not be able to watch the game either, as we generally leave them at the in-laws who don't have cable!

I can leave him at my brothers house, where he may watch the game, but that means I (and my wife) would have to turn off our phones becuase we would know what happened if we talked to my son.  And we know the wife is not turing off her phone.

So basically, if there is a game 7, I am stuck.

Tough deal, man. I suppose watching game 7 with a household full of fakers fans is better than not watching it at all. But...what if they lose? There's nothing worse than being around those haters after a loss. I've lived in L.A. all my life and they are the worst kind of fan.

Solution - anytime they start to badmouth the Cs ask them what time the Lakers game is on.  Then remind them the correct answer is "October"   

Better solution is we just win in 6, though.
