Well Done France

[murraymints]

bit of an anti though !

[DTCwordfan]

when am I due to be hung, drawn and quartered then...forecasts to be sent along with bets to Slaughter & May (not Theresa's account)....

If you don't want to know the scores of something, then don't look at the TV, internet or listen to the radio. It's not difficult.

[ummmm]

But it's not hard to put a spoiler alert.

[murraymints]

ummm.. turn off the telly radio everything to do with the result ..sigh... get real..

[tiggerblue10]

I didn't watch it but then again I must be one of very few that hasn't watched any of the World Cup.

[Voltage]

MM you won't be the 1st and you won't be the last!

[237SJ]

I remember as a child, watching my Dad putting his fingers in his ears and closing his eyes when the football results came up on the telly because he was saving himself for watching it later. It's not difficult.

Alas...
Those who value their ability to jump up and down demonstrating their inside/early knowledge of a result more highly than the desires of others wishing to find out later or in a different manner will always spoil things for other people.....
I wanterd Croatia to win but can't, honestly, begrudge France their victory.

What's the difference between a Wonderbra and the French football team?
A Wonderbra has decent support and two cups, the French just have a cup.

[murraymints]

The world knows ! whatever..well done for what it is worth..gawd even AB knows,,who'd have thunk ?

[Zacs-Master]

Am I right in thinking this isn’t the first time this has happened to Dave?

[Rockrose]

Well that’s saved me watching it tonight then.

[murraymints]

it does indeed rock..time to get the pies in !

[DTCwordfan]

Best tweet, "I'm not normally bothered about football but it's quite exhilarating hearing all your neighbours shout, "Oh ***!" at the exact same moment."

[ummmm]

I can easily not turn on the TV or radio...I should be able to go to AB though and not get the result from the heading.

[murraymints]

get real ummmm

[murraymints]

This is no secret society ! for gawds sakes !

[sunny-dave]

Nicely put JtH - the desire for the illusory kudos of being the 'first with the news' seems to outweigh all other thoughts for some people.

Dunno Zacs - possibly in ancient AB history. It's true I spend a lot of time trying to keep the AB front page and latest posts 'clean' of this type of (deliberate?) unhelpfulness - but I haven't been a victim for quite a while and am still cursing an idle 'click on a link' when a theoretically harmless email pinged in my inbox.

[237SJ]

^But if you were remotely interested in the result you would turn on the TV and watch the match so coming onto AB wouldn't make much difference. I have no idea who won Wimbledon. If I cared, I would have recorded the match or watched it on catch up but I don't care because I have been busy working so if I see the result on Ab, it is not much of a consequence. Who won it anyway? -)

[jackthehat]

No-one says it is...
But the polite convention on forums is not to be so blatent in a post.
Your heading was unavoidable, even for those purposely avoiding the Sports section.
