The Law Of Unintended Consequences
February 52010
I was playing football tonight against the Civil Guard, the Spanish slightly Military Police. We are supposed to be nice when we play them because basically we turn up in cars and if we win we fear for clamping and speeding tickets. Also you might well get done for assault if you do a bad tackle or something and finish up spending the weekend behind bars. Two things need to be noted here. Firstly, there was no chance of us actually winning because we missed a hell of a lot of chances. Secondly, it is probably not a good idea to kick one in the first minute so they get a bit riled.
So in the second half I cut inside the right back onto my right foot but put the ball slightly too far ahead of me, stretching I get my foot to the ball at the same time as a meaty challenge from a defender coming the other way. I am told that the ball temporarily became an hourglass and my toe exploded in my shoe. When I eventually got to the side of the pitch and took off the boots and socks the site that met my eyes wasn’t nice.
So now I am here writing this with an ice pack on my foot watching as the red turns to purple and thinking, “OK, now how am I going to sort out things while a tad immobile.” “Can I outsource my limping?” I thought.
