Aside from Posh ,Grant and Hat we're not a very literary bunch, however the game against the Gosford cavemen reminded me mostly of Shakespearean comedies viz:
"So I will turn his virtue into the pitch, and out of his goodness make the net",Othello Act 2, Scene 3
and more recently Victor Darchinyan, who after the Gosford keeper had retrieved the ball from out of bounds and set it at his feet for a goal kick, looked on bemusedly as Darchinyan raced in and kicked it into the net. Somehow our resident goal sneak had decided to take his craft to new heights, completely ignoring the fact that his team mates had retreated toward midfield for the Gosford goal kick! Side splittingly funny stuff. You had to be there !
"Better three hours too soon than a minute late", Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 2, Scene 2
or more recently, Posh, on discovering that he had been sitting at home, looking forward to Sundays game, when it was indeed played on Saturday.
"Oft Expectation fails and most oft here...,Alls Well that ends Well ,Act1, Scene 2
or more recently, Wiz and Phil after viewing their highly unsuccessful experiment to turn Tolly into a fullback
"for my part its all Greek.." Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2
or more recently, The Relics when trying to understand Phil's game plan and charts.
However, with a comfortable 5-2 victory, one could say that "Alls Well that Ends Well" and that after the game the feeling was very much "Come Gentlemen, Lets Drink down all Unkindness, Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 1, Scene 1.
Finally I'm sure our brains trust is hoping that this will not "Be the winter of our Discontent"
Don't you just hate it when you score a goal and it gets disallowed.
ReplyDeleteEnough with this Shakespeare stuff!
ReplyDeleteHow about a big thank you to Smokey for doing such a good job running the bench.
