Taller referees.

Hi O'Hooligan here.

Well what an enjoyable session we had this morning. Loads of good banter amid soft and gentle rain, none of that lumpy stuff as on previous Mondays

On arrival I noticed an old rugby friend of mine who has joined the Club, Glen ‘Beep Beep’ Morris, so named ‘cos he played on the wing and could catch pigeons; not always able to catch the ball but you can't have everything! Welcome my old friend!

Sadly we have evidence of dark arts afoot today as well!!

Brian ‘Labone’ Prendergast calling for the ball from Roger ( ‘006 1/2’ our goalkeeper) Poor Roger was so confused he mistakenly passed directly to him to score! Gamesmanship of the highest (or is it lowest) level

"Why did you pass to him" I asked politely. Well, he said, he was on my team last week and he did say please".

Such a nice man!! Roger I mean not Brian! Phil got a bit confused when we got into a little chat about movements during one of the games and I told him I had a really good movement this morning before leaving home! Such a relief!

Now onto the touchy subject of Referees! Can we have taller referees please? During game Two I stroked a wonderful pass (don't I always) across the pitch which rose perhaps a foot off the ground, only for the merry whistler to call it back for head heightinfraction!

Editor’s Note - it should be pointed out that O’Hooligan is related to Leprechauns and frequently mistakes airborne and ankle-bound!

This Ref was only 5 foot tall himself and so it may possibly have been over his head…… but no one else's! Action needed! You know I am only kidding Andy good job and good banter with you today Thanks (sarcasm isn’t what it used to be)

As we went off at the end for our showers the burning issue was did we had cake waiting for us? Tom Stretch fired up his cake detector machine, insisted he had a positive reading and was soon proved correct!

Lots of lovely cake and lots of laughs! Let's do it all again next week

Cheers for now! 🇮🇪😇
