In The Cold Light o’ Day

Two balls on the pitch?
At best, an iffy penalty kick?
A green light beamed in Kasper Schmeichel’s face?
Danish national anthem loudly booed?
Flipped over a country’s triumphant mood
To what us real fans loathe…embarrassing disgrace.

UEFA intent on holding an enquiry
Doesn’t inspire a jot o’ confidence in me
The harsh reality is the match should be replayed?
“Geezers completely lost the plot?”
Maybe, I’m accused of having done so quite a lot
But…I believe in the age-old adage called, fair-play.

Finally, my thoughts on the lino and referee,
Whom failed to refer to VAR, or even see
Said, two balls on the pitch, or iffy penalty shout?
Are best kept to myself tis safe to say?
Yet should both wish to contact me today…
I know a blinding (sic) Spec-Savers could sort them out.
I noticed the officials too and wondered what all the kerfuffle was about. Seriously?? Such a shame there always has to be some sort of controversy. Love how you managed to get all this into verse and so quickly. Not sure how you feel about enjambment, but I’d be tempted to tweak line 4 to ‘Danish national anthem booed, flipped over’. But that’s just me. I most certainly agree with your fair play sentiments.
Apologies, just spotted your rhyme scheme. Don’t do end rhymes too often.
