 HiAvid foootball fan here and can relate 100% to him, it takes a few minutes on a Saturday and Wednesday, your going for a month then coming back so hes just keeping himself up to date. He will enjoy his vacation, just think of it as him checking in with family.Dont make a big thing of it,its not worth the aggravation,its just part of him that you have to get used to.

 he will have fun but to ask him to not check football scores for a month seems unrealistic to me.
normally when we travel we take our laptops with us... and while for a short trip it may not come out anything over 3 or 4 nights is going to warrant checking mail, news, scores etc.
even without the laptop I like to watch the news on vacation... that would include team scores and such.
I think you are strongly over reacting....

 Please consider to re-phrase your query like this?...
What's the matter with him taking a few minutes, each Monday and Tuesday, to get the scores from the football scores of the last day or two????
OK? Good luck.....

 He may still check his football scores but as he relaxes more and fills his days with sights and scenes that amaze and delight him every day he may even occasionally forget his football.
Don't comment on it. But also don't notice if he forgets to check a game occasionally.
I feel that you will enjoy a very relaxed holiday where you do some spur of the moment things and enjoy the chance to spontaneously change direction or try some interesting food.
Amd while not suggesting for a moment than an organised tour could meet your needs, it does not hurt to check out the places/ experiences they are offering and you cherry pick what you like from that offered by the tour companies.
Then go and visit wherever it is, when you feel like it, if that places suits out needs.
The itineries explain where it is, how to get there, and why it is special.
So for the do-it-yourself traveller the travel itineries put out by recognised tourism operators can still be very useful as a way to discover interesting places that are not well known.

Hope you both enjoy a wonderful holiday together, with or without football:)

Why would he forget football for 3 months? It's his hobby and his team are his passion, it's that simple why would you try or even want to deny him that?
My girl knows how important football is to me and would never deny me that, just as much as I know how important her talking to her mum and friends every day for news and a chat is important to her. She wouldn't give that up for 3 months.
It's simple OP when he's checking the scores you can be checking facebook or sending emails. Depending on the team he supports there'll only be maximum two matches per week. That's only twice a week he'll need to check and you'll surely want to upload photos and send emails etc, do it at the same time.
