Dude flies to Russia to watch World Cup, forgets to take ticket with him

  When you go abroad, it's always good to have a checklist of what you need to take with you. The top of the list is always your passport, tickets and money. Everything else you can live without. You can even wear the same pair of pants for a week if you have to. But one poor cunt who clearly didn't have a handle on his organisational skills, flew to Russia to watch England play in the World Cup and forgot to take his ticket. Doh.
  
  
  
  Douglas Moreton flew all the way from Bristol to Russia to watch England only to realise he had left his ticket back in a drawer at home. Before the game, Douglas bumped into ITV News editor Dan Howells and explained his situation. Dan, feeling sorry for Douglas, put out an online search to find him a ticket for the game. Dan later tweeted saying a ticket had been found, but they couldn't bloody find Douglas.
  
   
  
  FFS Douglas! Asking people to help find a ticket and then you go AWOL. Despite Dan's best efforts to get the ticket to Douglas, he only managed to track him down at his hotel 40 minutes before kick off, to which it was too late to get to the stadium in time. As if that wasn't bad enough, he missed the match against Panama, which turned out to be an epic win for England as they thrashed Panama 6-1. Talk about bad luck. I reckon Douglas would be the only geezer to fall into a barrel of tits and come out sucking his own thumb.

  What a numpty! I cannot imagine anyone spending a fortune on tickets and their trip to Russia and not taking their tickets with them. They say you should never judge a book by its cover but in this case the guy does look pretty gormless to be honest.
  
  It is bad enough expecting everyone else to dig you out of the hole you dug for yourself but then not leaving them a way to get back in touch with you is terminally stupid. I hope he hasn't got a family, so that his genes don't further weaken the human gene pool.

  We're in 2018, i'm kind of surprised physical tickets still exist to be honest, would have thought that by now, they'd have a system, where your phone, can work as your ticket
  
  I know a lot of football clubs, have chipped cards now(season passes mainly), so you'd think something similar to Apple/Android Pay, would have ben introduced, where you can download, & scan tickets

  Haha, I reckon it's unlikely.
  
  Can't imagine a Gooner summer vaycay would pass without incident, mind.  Dread to think of the continental scrapes he'll be getting himself in to.
