Week 04 : Match Report

The game started with loads of kicking & heading.People passed the ball & sometimes 'shot'.


There were a couple of throw-ins & Triffy scored a penalty.His side led at half-time,in no small part down to the genius of their footballing matador,Xavi,but also down to sterling work from The Garvey Bros(fuck The Charltons)& monsieur Scott.Relatively normal game you might say.

Unfortunately however,as the 2nd half began,so did the insanity.
1st there were absurd calls of 'handball' by The Bobs.Through sportsmanship & good grace these were allowed to pass without too much indignation & the game went on.As the clock struck 9 the triffs were 3 goals to the good.Unaware of the clock,they carried on playing.4 minutes into unauthorised 'overtime' Triffy was knocked arse over tit in a dangerous,attacking position.In spite of a dignified apology & admission that it WAS a FOUL & SHOULD'VE been a FREE,from the player involved,the game went on & the Bobs promptly scored.Then with The Triffs in posession & in another dangerous attacking position The Bobs declared 'game over'!A draw!

I've worshipped at the alter of The Beautiful Game for many a long year & I've witnessed cheating & gamesmanship before.But nothing on this scale.In spite of the cynicism of his players,their captain,Bob,a byword for sportsmanship among professionals,admitted defeat.A noble gesture from a man of true stature!It's 2-2 & all to play for!& hopefully The Bobs can learn from their captain,their consciences'll be jolted,& football & the series can redeem itself in the next fixture.
