Well, one good thing about a draw, eh? You lot won't take out your triumph or defeat on the innocent bystanders of Belgium, eh?
We're not like that, man! We just came on a trip, have a good time.
Aye, no bother. Mind you, there's always the lunatic fringe. I mean that lot over there. [Looks over at the group of fans Oz is sat with]
How did you lads get here, then?
Plane. We ran three charters from Newcastle. 42 quid an' all. Not bad!
You lads not workin', like?
Well, me and Brian are. Just. I was in the shipyards. Riveter. Now I'm driving a furniture van.
It's desperate up our way, man.
Why do ya think I'm here?
Do ya like it, do ya?
Have no choice! I had me own business, yer kna, jobbing builder. [The group Oz is with start singing loudly] I worked me bollocks off for five years. Made no difference in the end, yer kna, went under. Still owe the Government VAT.
I thought I'd work in the oil rigs for a while, meself. That's good money if you don't mind spending your time up in Aberdeen.
Aye, I spend mine up just the same. Dusseldorf, yer kna, Monday nights.
Aye, are ya alright up there?
Well, it's worth it, yer kna, despite the drawbacks. [Oz gets up to leave with the rowdy mob.]
Ere! Dennis! Me and these lads is gan up for some action. Fancy it?
No, I'm stoppin' 'ere.
Ah, I've only got one night, man! There's nae point in stoppin' in one place!
Look, you be at the station eleven o'clock, right? [Oz leaves] Look, the train won't wait for ye, and neither will I! [Turns back to the bar.]
Who was he?
He's one of the drawbacks!
