Your article (James Corden delays start of play to let audience watch Euros penalty shootout, 7 July) reminded me of being at a Bob Dylan concert in Liverpool that coincided with the Euro 96 semi-final between England and Germany. Before the concert, almost the entire audience was in the theatre bar watching extra time playing out on TV. Just as the penalty shootout was about to start, Bob’s band started up, and we were herded into the auditorium. After a couple of songs came a plaintive cry from the theatre circle: “What’s the score, Bob?”
