What was the final score of the Millwall vs. Pompey match?
Millwall 1, Pompey 3. Worth saying again, Millwall 1, Millwall who reckon they might be in the Premier League next season, 1. Pompey, who some people think might go down, 3. And it was 1-3 as well. There was nothing fluky about it at all from what I can glean, what I can perceive after the game. Because as happens with every football fan around, hopefully just sort of once in a blue moon, I had to miss everything about the game. I couldn't even keep up following texts. I certainly couldn't follow it using audio. I was away from home, so I just had no means of knowing what was going on. Twice, I think, during the game, I checked my phone and I saw, first of all, that we were suddenly, well, it was nil-nil, and then suddenly we were two nil up.
You've done this, you've been there. you're not at the game. You're not watching the game. You're not listening to the game. You're not keeping up with anything that's going on in the game. But I checked in again after about an hour. So that would have been, what would that have been? Four o'clock, something like that, 4.15. And we were 2-0 up. And I checked the goal scorers and I thought, oh, terrific. Caballero is starting to make his mark. And then... And then, oh, and Swifty's got one. I thought, oh, that's good as well, because he's really growing into his game, isn't he? I thought, that's going to do him the power of good. And then, because of what was going on, I couldn't find out anything until about 10 minutes, 20 minutes, half an hour after the game, when I checked my phone again, BBC Sport Football Championship scores and fixtures, we won 3-1.
It's now Sunday morning and I'm just about getting myself together again. I will tell you what happened because it's an indication of the fact that life is more important than football. It doesn't matter what Bill Shankly says. Do you remember that Bill Shankly quote?
He said, there are people who think that football is more important than life and death. It isn't.
Football is more important than life and death. I don't know. I can't remember. I'm... Because yesterday was a difficult day. We've been looking after a toddler whose parents are away at the minute. They can't help it. They've got to be away. But the toddler is recovering from chicken pox. And yesterday, in the wee small hours of the morning, developed a viral infection, was struggling to breathe, was very feverish, very unhappy, crying a lot. And so We had to phone whatever it is, 111, and liaise with a qualified nurse, and we formed a plan which was to take her, when it opened, to the urgent treatment centre at a local hospital, and they would decide whether to refer her to accident and emergency or the children's ward or whatever.
What were the key moments leading to Pompey's 3-1 victory?
So we did that at 10 o'clock in the morning, and obviously I had my phone with me because your phone goes everywhere, but I knew then that I wasn't going to be able to have any kind of personal interaction with this game, this match, Millwall versus Pompey. And I'm sure you've been there. You just resign yourself to it. Some things are more important than football. But the good news, of course, the great news, even greater than Millwall 1, Pompey 3, by a distance, they're not in the same county, is that the toddler is now fine. Ended up in A&E, ended up... having all the examinations ended up being there all day because they didn't want to send the child home with us in case there was any any danger at all but that happened and we got home about half an hour after the final whistle and there were so many other things to do that i've only just got round to appraising the game and you know far more about it than i do because at the very least surely you will have listened on the bbc
Maybe you don't. There is a member of the Mussino family who I know very well who can't bring himself. If he's not there, he can't bring himself to keep up with what's going on because he finds the wonderful stress levels too much. So he finds out afterwards what the score was. I don't have that kind of self-restraint.
