A Bag of Wind

A storm brews at Lough Moss



Arriving at Lough Moss for the Monday night game, we were informed that the wind turbine had to be switched off as it was too windy. I love that sort of crap. Unfortunately, the same level of crapness crept into the match as it was played in gale force winds. Trying to keep the ball on the ground is not always possible. When it reached head height, Storm Henry took control and even Girly's slide rule, cross field, incisive passes went astray - or maybe that was what he intended? Certainly, Girly Bhoy's week of warm weather training in Club La Santa, has not yielded the intended results that Ron Manager had hoped for - unless he was hoping to be regaled with an array of stories featuring the after hours antics of Girly Bhoy with the transgender population of Lanzarote. The story of his reunion with the Colombian pigmy did make me laugh though. She still had his phone number after all these years. Well, she still had his phone!


Perhaps I am being a little too critical of the standard of play. My own performance was piss poor as a direct consequence of the "Hell and Back" absurdity of the previous day. So what excuses are allowed for the rest of the squad?


Willie - blind
Hendy - hen-pecked
Tom - old
Jim - wrong shoes
Marty - wrong feet
Gary - carrying an injury
Kevin - carrying Gary
Ron - too angry
Altan - too tall
Girly Bhoy - Girly Bhoy
Lorenzo - wrong sport
Ciaran - just wrong
Conor - nobody to pass to
Ferryman - missed the boat
Joe - on the boat
The rest - bent double laughing at the rest


So, not one to live long in the memory, but as it is recorded here, it will be difficult to forget.

If you think you scored but it hasn't been recorded, you could be right. However, rest assured it was not goal of the season as I have forgotten already.
