lol, A good little poem here with a simple but well conveyed message.

I like the use of the '...' in the las line of each stanza.

Good Rhythm, good Rhyme, Good Poem

Missed it and the rest translates as swahili, you know my love of the sporting. Ron but I read it. Very Happy

Hi maipenrai,

Yeah, as Alan Hanson said, 'It's the best friendly match I've ever seen.'

Not very often I'm jumpin' up 'n down hoopin' an' a' hollerin' at the TV screen. You'd think the World Cup itself was at stake, and in a way it was; we proved to the world that we are capable of winning it when we're on form.

Cheers

Matt,

Yeah, lad, cracking game. Sorry about the All Black's rout of the Irish.. man it's gonna take England to put those massive monsters in their place. Ha! Now there's a hopeful spirit for you, hehehe.

mp,

Cheers m'dears, and I remember ladies in Hot Pants. I wonder why it was never made compulsary by Law? Hmm... hehe. Wink

Hi CR,

Yahoo in deed. Thanks for that link, I've submitted the ditty, and I've got another couple in my archive somewhere.

Cheers

scribbler,

That berrabe one hell of a novel ta miss out on a friendly match of such importance Confused

I was bellowing that loud you could have heard me in the next town.

Bedford,

Really simple game, footie, yer see... yerv got this round ball of air, see, and you have ta kick it in a net. Kick it in the net more than them and you win. Now rugby, that's a different kettle of pickles; that's a game played by men with funny-shaped balls. Shocked

Thanks, All

An' cricket's even easier ta understand, Bedford,

Yer see, when you're in you're in for overs until you're out and then it's 'over and out' and then those that are out do overs until they're in again. And you play it with a big stick - simple. Wink

Jesus I thought that was a bar brawl you mean they were playing cricket....... Very Happy

Sammy-Sparkle · [Sun Nov 13, 2005 4:56 pm]

Great result. With Rooney, Lampard, Ferdinand, Robinson, Owen, Beckham, Terry, Ashley Cole, that Liverpool midfielder et al, England won't go far wrong next summer.
Cool

Nice wee poem, Ron. Laughing

Ron · [Mon Nov 14, 2005 11:44 am]

Cheers Sammy,

Aye, lad, b'gorra an' b'jeyzus there'll be no stoppin' us now Laughing

Wish the rest of the Brit teams were comin' wi' us too... won't be the same wi'out 'em Crying or Very sad

We'll just have to win it for all of us.

Cheers

hi ron,

nice rhythm and rhyme here, good poem. Pity the boys couldn't deliver in Germany this year.
I should really do the same for another football match I was at.
Northern Ireland 1-0 England
ring any bells? Razz

Tim,

Sorry for nine month delay but didn't get an e-mail about your post and stumbled upon it when wondering where Matt - The Randomer - was.

Yep, ye nicked two valuable points off us, ye green whippersnappers. Steam
