Yo soy un abuelo

I play wider now than I did before, and also further out on the flanks. :rolleyes:

Four-and-a-half years out from surgery, and four years since getting on the field again.

Back to playing soccer. Badly. So… not much has changed.

On the mend, folks. Thank you all for the concern and support.

Well I wouldn't a minded smacking the fool either, but he was only within reach of my words

Re the little lad stuck in the shirt. I was laughing pretty hard by the time we were trying to free him from his shirt, so I am sure he knew I was on his side. I felt a bit sorry for him actually, and will make some inquiries as to why he doesn't seem to have the proper kit. The club does offer scholarships and the in-house program has sponsors, so he should at least have gotten the t-shirt.
At the opposite extreme from the rabid parents are those who don't care and never show up. I once coached a U14 boys team and we had a couple of cases like that, so my girlfriend and I more or less became surrogate parents for a couple of hours each week.

thanks
