‘Points means pacharán’, la celebración de los guiris malaguistas

Matt has explained how the ‘Points means pacharán’ came about: «It was not my idea and it really has nothing to do with me. It has been going on for about 15-20 years before me. Pam and Ken at The Tavern in Marbella started to Doing it with tourists who went to games with them. They’re not really sure why. I liked it and got on the pacharan train. I had never had pacharán in my life until about 18 months ago. What happens with the points mean pacharán is that there’s really no smart story behind it. It just happened haha. And it sounded good so it stayed.

When this ritual is done they also shout ‘Hoot the Malaga’ to toast the club and has explained the birth of this: «Once again, no one really knows why it appears. Ken texted Pam one day by accident. And it stayed. It’s just what we scream when we drink it. I’ve never heard anyone say ‘Hoot the …’ in my life. Somehow it doesn’t mean anything. Sounds fun.

Guiricast’s colleague has indicated why he decided to share the ‘Points means pacharán’ on twitter: «I had just moved to Spain (18 months ago) and I had fallen in love with Malaga, so I guess one night of drunkenness I decided to show on Twitter that I was having a good time in my new life and we kept doing it then. Then a lot of people kept tweeting about it and others started doing it, so we continue to do the videos as fun. And yeah, people ask me a lot now. Someone even stopped me in a bar in Marbella the other week and said ‘You are the pacharán of Twitter’.

Finally, he has declared a promise in the event that Málaga go up to Primera: «I will bathe in pacharán if Málaga is promoted.»
