I saw some ‘high’lights of two big northern football companies, ‘ManU’ and ‘Liverpoo’ yesterday. There was much drama, indeed considerable thespian skills were displayed all round. One young blonde fellow playing for ’Liverpoo’ enjoyed vandalizing the pitch, kicking the penalty spot away and remonstrating with opponents and the referee as if he’d just been told he was going to be in detention and must write 500 lines. At another moment, the shortest fellow on the pitch, a Korean gentleman playing for ‘ManU’, leapt into the air and headed the ball toward the goal. A guy who looks like a potato kicked the ball at great force straight at the ‘Liverpoo’ goalkeeper, who stopped it with a dramatic dive, but then potatoman kicked it into the net. This to the anger of the ‘Liverpoo’ players who proceeded to vent their frustration at the ref, who didn’t really seem to take much notice of anyone’s antics, but seemed to be playing the role of umpire in an American Wrestling production, sort of wearing the uniform and shouting at people but actually just there as a decorative ornament. Eventually the ‘ManU’ beat the ‘Liverpoo’ and the manager of the ‘ManU’ remonstrated with the manager of the ‘Liverpoo’.
Is it all just a fix?
