    whose ground this is I surely know
    unrecognizable in snow
    and I my glee can barely hide
    to find these gates all open wide
    my little dog must think it strange
    to stop with neither fan nor game
    he gives his […]

    SF1: MmmmMessi

    Messi’s magical masterclass…
    More memorable than most?
    Mesmeric in front of the masses
    Mercurial medallist dumbfounds (immoral) host

    Morocco’s momentum
    Offers a modicum of optim […]

    Sat 10/12/2022
    France 2-1 England

    For me, that was even stevens
    Two great teams, giving it their all
    Just what you want
    When it comes to the very best of football

    But then….
    Where there’s nothing to cho […]

    Who wants to lead the Tour de France
    Or Fifteen Hundred Metres?
    Who wants to head the Marathon,
    And seem like a world-beater?

    How ’bout top spot in Premiership,
    In Serie A or B?
    I tell you, in the […]

    Messi, Messi, Messi,
    Bless he, bless he, bless he
    Guess he, guess he, guess he
    Doesn’t need advice from me!

    And when you draw breath and think about it
    A misplaced pass from Messi
    Is about as commonplace […]

    There was a young fella named Bertie
    Whose predilection didn’t include Gertie(s)
    He went to Qatar
    They found him bizarre
    And now he’s banged up watching CR7 get shirty!

    “They call us Cinderella,
    Cos we’re in Serie B.
    But I say the Ferraris
    Is the only place to be.

    We’re playing Cittadella,
    No pushovers are they.
    So get down to Marassi
    At 3pm today.

    We’ve S […]

    Stuart, you are not alone, in your dichotomy of doubt

    but without dissention

    you stand alone

    in hogging our attention!

    Hey Mr Cool
    don’t be no fool –
    make sure you give out
    berate and sharply shout
    at all those around you
    whomsoever may confound you;
    those not pulling their weight;
    those late –
    into a tackle;
    those not p […]

    When watching Brazil

    It’s just like watching Brazil.

    Life’s like that sometimes.

  • Profile picture of Stuart Butler

    I was determined to boycott the World Cup,
    And be like Christian in Pilgrim’s Progress:
    Avoiding all seductive temptations,
    And deceptions from the ‘beautiful game’ –
    For the arguments against watch […]

    One Love
    garners no love
    from the unlovable

  • Profile picture of Crispin Thomas

    it’s a dream that would blossom two decades ago
    when the Spirit of Football gave birth
    to a symbol that’s more than just something you kick
    but unites everyone on this Earth
    and it’s rolled and been kicked by […]

    [Football on soiled turf]

    This is a wonderful phrase which I shall be using from now on!

    Well said Crispin. One of the reasons for The Ball 2022/23 is exactly this – that FIFA need to know. The Ball is essentially a petition to FIFA to honour their commitments to the UN Sports for Climate Action […]

    I’m Spartacus!
    No, I’m…..

    well not quite.
    I’m boycotting!….
    England’s first game, for all the right reasons –
    repudiating a Republic where rights are unreasonably 
    driven roughshod into the […]

    Hi Guys

    Re ‘Lets Boycott Qatar ‘ poem

    You probably hate me banging on..and problably know (like me) that my/your not watching the World Cup in Qatar will make no difference.

    Of course it won’t. That’s not […]

    let’s boycott Qatar
    it’s wrong for heaven’s sake
    however little diff’rence
    our non-viewing will make
    let’s go watch a small club
    while games go on at home
    while they just greenwash endlessly
    to justify […]

    That autumnal expedition to Brimscombe
    Seems all a bit too good to be true:
    Cycling past that spring alongside Bagpath,
    Where an old Rodborough resident
    Once slaked his thirst descending to Brimscombe,
    Where […]

    We used to argue ad-nauseum
    As to whether or not the ball crossed the line
    Case-in-point: ‘66

    Now we have microscopic lenses
    And digital wristbands
    That pinpoints crossing ‘tween the sticks!
