My son's first birthday tomorrow.

[NickEFC]

Do I:-

1. Miss the match altogether, give my ticket to my uncle(whom I sit with) so that he can take his missus and spend the day at home with various bits & bobs of family & friends nipping over to see the little fella

2. Go to the match as normal, usual ritual, who cares, it's his first birthday, he won't even know the difference and I'll have seen him between 8 & 12 and then be home to get him bathed and put him to bed

3. Do I drive to the match, leaving at 2.15, get in just before kick off, then with a couple of minutes to go, watch the end from the exit and when the ref whistles, leg it, jog back to the car, home by 5.30

Opinion is quite divided in our office here, although, I reckon I know what i'm gonna do

I wouldn't miss my daughters birthday to watch fellas running around for 90 minutes earning £75k a week, birthdays are once a year, footy is weekly.

But, that's my opinion.

Just catch the last game on Match of the Day tomorrow dude x

Is there a Mrs. NickEFC that has approved of these options? That would be the only opinion I would care about.

There is and she gave me the green light to do whatever I want, but I'm a bit more savvy than to think she isn't going to tear me a new one if I go to the match, regardless of what she said.
But, Everton come a poor second to my family and the ticket won't go to waste, so I'll be staying home and filling my face on cocktail sausages in the kitchen with the radio on. Switched on that is, i don't have a radio hat. Although I'd like one.

Good lad! She sounds like mine "Go the match, sure!...AT YOUR PERIL!"

I'll be honest, if they were giving away free cocktail sausages at Goodison, it would have been a harder choice.

She's a former season ticket holder herself, most of her family are former season ticket holders too, bar her brother who still goes, so I think I could get away with option 3.
But, I don't want to!
Plus, I'm getting the Birmingham game back, as I was away visiting family when that was called off. And we're at home next week.

I know what you're saying but the likelihood of all of those falling on a matchday are slim, so I'm not too worried.
Although the communion thing I have no idea what to expect. The wife's Cat lick, but I'm not

i started off like you mate with the former mrs, and it got from being ok see you after, to when are you getting in these kids have been waiting for you, your normally in by this time, and so on as time went by, i used to only stay out for about two pints, it felt like a crime going out the door, i understand what your saying mate but put your marker down an hour and a half out of 24 isnt long. have a good day either way, and happy birthday to the little fella

Do I really need to answer this. We all know what you will do

Third birthday - no problem skipping that. First birthday is the one that ends up in the picture album with your son having smeared cake all over his head. Give a little here to reap plentiful benefits in the future.

Behave you, ya crank! You know my missus as well as anyone does, you know I'd get away with option 3!

I'll be disappointed if I don't get that picture now!
