People watch football at stadiums, in fan zones, at home, in transport - wherever they have to. And two women who came to the Nottingham theater for the musical "Titanic" watched the match of the England national team against the Colombians on smartphones, sitting in the front row. Of course, they were not patted on the head for this.

When the most dramatic scene of the musical "Titanic" unfolded on the stage of the Nottingham Theater, the decisive stage of the match between the national teams of England and Colombia took place at the Spartak stadium. The women sitting in the front row in the theater probably decided that football was winning by entertainment, and watched the penalty shootout on their smartphone. Moreover, they accompanied each goal with a violent reaction.
One of the actors tried to gesture to ask the ladies to put down the phone, but they smiled, gave a thumbs up and said, "We won!"
Then the performer of the main role , Niall Sheehy , interrupted the performance and addressed the women with the words:
The scandal flowed smoothly into social networks. "If you come to the theater to watch a play, do not sit in your smartphone at this time and do not watch matches. Stay at home! It's so disrespectful, especially if you're sitting in the front row," wrote theater troupe member Stephen Webb.
However, the opinion of netizens was divided. Someone apologized to the actors for the behavior of women. But there were also those people for whom the behavior of women was quite understandable — given the importance of the match.
The administration of the theater issued an official statement saying that all spectators were asked to turn off their mobile phones before the performance.
The administration also expressed the hope that during the next match with the participation of the England national team, the audience in the theater will still refrain from watching football.
