Kenny Burns' Forest Bar had not been busy like today since the World Cup.
Once it opened for business at eleven o'clock in the late morning, people were constantly pushing the door open to come in, order a beer, and then gather together in muttered discussion.
By the time Skinny Bill appeared at the bar, the muttering sounds finally developed into a loud argument. The originally united fans had split into two factions. No one was willing to give in to each other. Just short of beer glasses being thrown and swearing, the atmosphere was unfriendly.
Burns continued to wipe the glass in his hands that taking a long time to clean. He had no intention of moving forward to stop it.
As John pushed the door open, the argument in the bar temporarily dissipated after seeing him.
