The stupid team I play for

We have an email list that goes around to keep everyone updated on the match schedule, etc. I might be late tonight, and warned the fella who runs the team he might need to play in goal for the first 5 minutes if I'm not there by kickoff. One of our central defenders (Kurt) sent this message:

"im in. lets use ross in goal please. no offense to the other guy, but hes too hesitant to get some balls and he doesnt communicate well with us in the back"

Unfortunately, the 'other guy' (Greg), who played in goal when I had my kidney stone, was also on the email list. He took it well:

"No offense taken. Thanks for your honesty. But next time, I would appreciate it if you tell me these things to my face instead of calling me out in front of everyone. We can talk later tonight."

Alas, Kurt was not to be placated:

"£#%&! it, if i cant say some things that are true and we need to work on, then I dont need to be on the team. I know im not perfect but we should always strive to improve.

Anyway take me off the list. good luck to you guys"

So, Kurt's toys=out of pram, as you English persons would say. Greg remains unruffled:

"My feelings aren't hurt whatsoever, I'm not a goalkeeper, I was just filling in and helping out. I know I'm bad in goal, it's no secret. I feel when you have a comment about someone, it's lame to send it through an email thread.

Moving on and looking forward to playing tonight.

Greg"

This is ongoing...waiting to hear the next one. It should go without saying that we have a terrible team and regularly get beat 3 or 4 nil, and that nobody can really play.

Kurt bottled it. @#%&!.

I don't get it.

no wonder "soccer" is seen as a girls sport over there.....

the lads team i coached back in the 80s was a right bunch of girls ..... :bi:


having said that....they won most of their games

like an American version of Hark and No Fun

Kurt really has let himself down there - comes across as a right smacked arse tbf.

Team you play "in", Grimson. You play "in" or "for" the team. Not on it.

It's over, Kurt finally apologized.

"sorry Greg, bad form...I'll apologize in person tonight."

I'll be honest mate, this is like spilling Brick Top from Snatch's pint.

I'm just trying to help. He may very well come back with some well thought out response, proving that he is correct or something. But in our heart of hearts, I think we all know I'm right.

I've seen the script for tonight and here's the opening dialogue:

"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"

That would be great, if time travel to the 80s existed.

Actually most of the players are English, so it goes:

"Alright?"
"Alright?"
"Alright?"
"Alright?"
"Alright?"
"Alright?"
"Alright?"
