w/e 22 september

Post by Neville Briggs » Mon Sep 08, 2014 5:22 pm

This one Maureen is an old one recycled.
Inspired by Bob Pacey's foopbaw mania :lol: apologies to Henry Kendall :roll:

BALL BOYS

By tackles of cruelness, the players are falling
and out of the big stand I hear the crowd calling.
They live in the hope that their highly paid bruisers
will touch the ball down as the winners ( not losers).
Through gaps in defenders and dodging their clawing,
struggles the halfback; he's over ! he's scoring !
And louder than thunder ( though nothing like singing )
the cheers of supporters are roaring and ringing.

That's a pearler Nev describes rugby Union to a tee.


I said to a bloke one day I really cannot follow the rules for rugby ?

He pulled me up and said there are no rules for rugby . There are the laws of the game.

Just cause I might not like something does not mean I have to be totally ignorant of it, after all I don't like cats but I know about the horrid things. :roll:

Cheers Terry
