I’m going to sound like a right football snob..but there you go – I am!
For the last two nights I’ve taken Jack to play football for Woodstock Town, reserves this evening and first team last night. I have to same I am shocked by the standard of football, it’s shit, it really is. And yet they take themselves so seriously it’s laughable, I have to bite my tongue when watching from the sidelines, I enjoy watching Jack play and when they actually give him the ball he’s exciting on it but they can’t pass! The pitch yesterday for the reserves at Adderbury was astonishing as well, I think the meadow would have played better, it’s certainly got shorter grass on it! Bob Pratley once described a pitch as undulating but this was positively mountainous!
Anyway, both games they’ve lost, I’ve been videoing the matches to get Jack’s involvement and it’s really hard to do so because of trying to keep up with him and in focus.
Ah well, I am so pleased that I never dropped down to the level, in saying that, maybe one day so I can have a match with Jack I will have to get fit and have no choice but to play…but I seriously hope he’s playing for a better team next season – I couldn’t pay to watch this garbage!
