How f**king annoying is it when you’re stuck waiting on a train that’s delayed?

It’s bad enough if you’re a passenger – but it can’t be much better when you’re a train driver sat around twiddling your thumbs.

Sam Chadney, who had been stuck in an hour-long delay, claims to have spotted his driver beating the boredom in the best way we can think of – cracking on with a game of Football Manager.

Obviously he felt the need to tweet about it…

Some people got mad about it…

Some people thought it was the only sensible option…

Naturally, others just wanted to know which team he was in charge of…

Then actual Football Manager popped up with some sound advice for anyone thinking of playing under cover at work…
