So yesterday I decided to whip up a simple timeline breakdown of that Southampton vs Liverpool match. Honestly? Just wanted something quick for fans who missed the live action.
First Step: Gathering the Mess
Grabbed my laptop, fired up YouTube since replays are still there, yeah? Opened a dumb text file to jot stuff down real quick. Figured I’d just type while watching – easy peasy. Started the video, paused it every few seconds like a maniac.
The Actual Pain Begins
Kept scribbling timestamps and who scored. Messy handwriting meant I screwed up twice already. “Minute 17… or was it 19? Ah crap.” Rewound that freaking clip like three times just for one goal. Then my kid yelled for snacks. Typical Tuesday. Paused everything, dealt with juice boxes, lost my damn place again. Pissed me off.

The annoying bits:
- Liverpool’s first goal? Easy. Wrote it down.
- Southampton equalizer? Had to snoop around online comments cause replay skipped the celebration. Why?!
- Second half goals… my coffee went cold. Just sat there gulping lukewarm sadness.
Putting It Together (Kinda)
Tried copying notes from my phone to an actual document. Deleted like, half the stuff cause it sounded boring. Wanted it stupid simple – no fancy stats, just “who scored when and who won.” Rethought the whole order twice. Scrapped one attempt cause I accidentally wrote “Liverpoop” instead of Liverpool. Son saw it. Laughed at me for ten minutes straight.
Final Stretch & Publishing
Double-checked each timestamp. Found a mistake in the minute for Liverpool’s second goal. Fixed it after rewatching that segment AGAIN. Exported the thing as a simple text post. Added zero graphics cause ain’t nobody got time for that. Hit publish before I changed my mind. Got immediate comments about typos anyway. Shocker.
Whole thing took longer than the actual match. Lesson? Next time maybe I’ll just write “Liverpool won” and call it a day. But nah, doubt it. Probably gonna torture myself again this weekend. What a day.
