Back by popular demand – The CL Offside Drinking Game – Final Edition

By: Rob | May 20th, 2008

Well…The final is in Russia After the popularity of the Semi-Final drinking game, I have devised a new one for the final. I’ll certainly be playing as its offically the last day of university life for me as well. Hopefully I’ll also be celebrating a fantastic match on the pitch, and not drinking the pain away of a dull 1-0.

Note: You can do this with any drink you fancy, depending on how drunk you want to be. But its in Russia, so Vodka would be autentic I suppose. If you do chose Vodka, well, you might want to tone it down a little if you want to see the game through. Whatever you choose, drink responsibly. I’m not to blame if you play this and do something crazy.

Anyway The Rules.

You Must Take One Finger Of Drink When Any of the Following Occur:

Ronaldo does more than one stepover in a move

The words “All English” and “Final” are used in a sentence by the commentry team

Drogba, Ronaldo, Joe Cole or Nani go down a bit easy

Alex Ferguson is seen ranting at the Ref/Linesman/4th Official

John Terry or Nemanja Vidic get away with a sneaky little foul no-one ever seems to notice

The commentry team make a joke about Avram looken sullen on the Chelsea bench

The camera inevitable pans to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who will be inevitably in the crowd

In fact anytime the 1999 Final is referenced in any way.

The poor-Russian pitch is mentioned by the commentry team. You must kill your drink if they refer to the Plastic pitch England played on in Russia, which if your watching on ITV is semi-inevitable.

A long ball is hoofed up field at noone in particular.

Kill your drink when:

Someone scores

Half Time

Extra Time

There is a Penalty Kick (with the exception of shoot out, i can’t possibly condone that)

Ryan Giggs comes onto the field to beat Bobby Chalton’s record. (if he starts, you can make a judgement call)

In the Second Half

The teams MUST be referred to as The Red Devils and The Blues, otherwise its drink central.

Every Ten minutes of the second half, a memeber of the party may come up with a new rule based on how the game is going.

Everytime there is a second half substitue have a drink.

Fell free to add more in the comments if you like, depends just how drunk you want to be I suppose.
