Agony!

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Last week ecstasy as
Leicester out-foxed in
last minute of pulsating game.
Corr’s equaliser raised the
roof at the County Ground.
This week and boot’s
on the other foot:
Town leading 2-1 with
seconds of injury time left;
Pirates looking like their
ship had run aground,
“Good Night Irene!” warble
sticking in their throats.
Then it was Town fans’
turn to gag
as Lines popped up to grab
a leveller with last
kick of the game;
his sending off for
over zealous celebration
hardly likely to quell
angst in the massed ranks
of Swindon fans.
The fickle finger of
football fate. Darn it!

Notes

Last week we left the County Ground elated after our last minute face saver; this week & we’re all deflated. Funny old game, this football malarkey!
