Just been to a children's football party....

[simon the viking]

We have just got back from taking Little-un to a five a side party.............

We assumed protocol was the same as most parties for 7 year olds...drop child off then go to pub for a drink and bar meal... But no this was different, it was suggested by the party 'Referee' that the parents stay as emotions and tiredness can kick in and they get tearful children. So we stayed and after the first half five aside for the children.... He suggested a game of parents verses Children....

Arrgggghhh I haven't played 'a game' of football since my teens... so we all got stuck in....

I scored a goal!!!! after two laps of the pitch in celebration... it was suggested that my behaviour was a bit O.T.T for a goal scored against an 8 year old girl goal keeper.... Nonsense it was a competitive goal and I'm claiming it!!!!!

Mrs V scored 2 and was trying for the hat-trick when the final whistle blew..... the score 5-5 and I haven't been as knackn***d in years (even after a 30 mile bike ride).....

Great fun though and there was far too much pizza bought in for the kids

I thought I'd seen most Monty Python sketches but not that one, made me laugh.....

We were certainly getting stuck in.....

8 years old? You scored against an 8 year old girl, and you ran around the field?

As Simon says (see what I did there? ) "a goals a goal."

And to use an old boxing saying, "you can only beat what's put in front of you."

I hope you didn't bite anyone.

How pathetic. Not much of a win is it. against a girl. Shame on you two

Yes..... and your point is exactly? Actually she was the biggest child on the pitch as she was the party boys older sister and she was pretty good in goal.... Honest

Actually it was an indoor five a side pitch so it didn't take long to do a couple of laps.......

You should be ashamed of yourself that what.

Only the pizza and wedges at the end.....

You'll not win here Simon.

See if we were to comment on the poor standard of women's football we would be drowning in a torrent of abuse, but if we treat them as equals on the pitch what do we get?
