First Round Match: Greig Hanratty v John Andrews
This brief match wasn’t up to the usual Pissboy standards due to blatant rule breaking, but it did have a couple of good moments, both of them coming from Greig. The match commenced at around 10pm in the Blue Blazer, and Greig took a very early lead due to his inability to grasp the laws of gravity. He decided to down a bottle of beer after placing the bottle inside some sort of triangular cardboard menu device, which resulted in most of the beer trickling out of the bottom (towards the ground, the direction which gravity tends to pull things on Earth) of said device and all over Greig’s legs. This didn’t stop him however, and he continued to drink until both the bottle was empty and his jeans were soaked. Excellent work.
John meanwhile spent most of his time being a nuisance and subtly winding up Glasgow as much as he could. This did win John a few points, as Euan’s reactions to being wound up are always amusing, and this time round it involved a lot of shouting and threats.
Greig then streaked ahead in this game when he took us all by surprise and proceeded to Shoot The Boot. Everyone looked on in awe as he downed a pint of beer which had been emptied into some random guy’s shoe. The result of this was a lot of respect from the Pissboy Committee and a round of applause from most of the pub.
The match ended prematurely when John decided to smoke some drugs, resulting in instant disqualification. The general consensus was that the outcome of the match would most likely have been the same if John had stayed in the match, as he was struggling to make a comeback after Greig’s extremely aggressive drinking tactics.
Take yourself through to the next round Greig, and congratulations.
Verdict: Greig Hanratty win, by disqualification.
