I am guessing the kids were about 12/13. The game basically involved the keeper booting the ball up, the two coaches shouting "meet it", the CB then booting it forward, the other CB doing the same, nobody encouraged to get on the ball or take a touch, just meet the ball with your head or foot first time or boot the ball down the channel. Hideous. Grassroots football is shocking. It's all about results. The coaches get abused by the parents for pretty much everything including if they're not winning, so it forces them to just play the percentages. Refs get abuse from the parents. Kids get no time to develop anything. Horrible stuff. Hockey on the other hand is brilliant. No major focus on the result and the kids are encouraged to express themselves. An experienced adult will play in central defence to give advice and organise them but they can't overstep the mark and start tackling the kids hard or going up the other end. Parents are supportive not abusive. Just a whole different atmosphere. GB ladies hockey just won gold in the Olympics didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Rugely like, just me acting like a cock. Being lairy with people and being confrontational with others. I think it was down to mixing the booze. Lager, gin, lager, rose wine, proseco, cider and vodka shots. Edited December 19, 2016 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Just now, Designer1 said: Or maybe you're just a cock. Ha, maybe! I've never been a confrontational drunk before, but never mix that much, so I won't do it again. Usually if its lager followed by gin or ale followed by whiskey, I become a happy drunk. I was the opposite this time. It is slightly worrying as I could have easily got my head kicked in. Also I still can't remember large chunks of the night or the journey home. I do remember being sick though near my apartment. Oh well, I won't be the only one suffering today after 'Mad Friday' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copied in the Finance Director on the last email. Won't do **** all as my season ticket runs out on Thursday. **** clearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon you'll be surprised by what's out there for you that you'd enjoy more. Edited December 20, 2016 by sharkyvilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lies are all the more amusing for how hopeless they are. When we moved to China, he claimed that the city hall (which comprises two skyscrapers joined by a skybridge) was part of the landing path for the airport, as in, planes flew between the two skyscrapers as they came in to land. Now, I didn't have to travel to the country to feel that this was likely weapons-grade bullshit, but it was amusing to find out on arrival that the towers were approximately fifteen metres apart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
