Amateur Football

Saturday afternoon is so sublime  

Men meeting up for football not always on time

The goals have been set up and nets are on

The manager talking to players one by one

 

But the talking and discussion starts days before

A player text to say his knee is still sore

A text is sent out to the rest of the squad

Hoping everyone ok the manager prays to God

 

The day of the game and the kit given out

Holes in the socks, a new kit is the shout

The manager names his starting team

Some players walk off unhappy they seem

 

The game is played on a muddy, wet pitch

An hour gone, a player complains of a stitch

Three subs made to try and change the game

Nothing much changes all exactly the same

 

The referee has a big decision to be made

The goalkeeper should really have stayed

A penalty given and the striker takes the kick

The goalkeeper saves he moves so quick

 

A draw a fair result on the windy wet day

One thing left £5 subs still to pay

The car journey home the inquest begins

The striker takes responsibility for his penalty sins

 

The pub after and the discussion is on hold

Chip butties and a sausage that is uncooked and cold

A few more pints and the finger is pointed

Blaming the midfield that looked disjointed

 

This is much better than shopping with the wife

Although coming home injured could land in strife

Just think next week we do exactly the same

All because we love this beautiful game
