Football gone crazy

Andrew scored two cracking goals again today against old rivals North Berwick. His football skills are very good and when he gets to play with like minded players it makes for good football. Today he got his first taste of the unpleasantries of football when some posh little gobshite from NB went to give Andrew the ball for a throwing and chucked it into his face. A split lip didn't put him off winning.

On Wednesday at training I also encountered the dark side of the 'beautiful game' when I got kicked out of the sports hall where I have always gone to watch him train. Apparantly club rules now ban parents from watching the kids train in case they are some sort of perv who will entice them into their lair. There goes years of proud parents supporting their kids...turned into an act of suspicion and political corrrectness. Grrr!
