Even Teddy wants to play!

Teddy sees RED?

During a girls junior game yesterday things weren't going to well. The yellow team were a player down and of course in the spirit of fair play the other team plays a player more. It's an under 8 competition so any advantage is important. Right!

So when the blue team, who had a wonderful goalie who could kicked the ball the length of the field, released their forward who was all on her own, she was sure to score.

The crowd groaned or cheered as the star forward ran alone towards the goal. Thump, the goalie dived and smothered the shot saving a certain goal. Eruptions on the sidelines

Half-Time 0-0

Blue Coach had it sorted. Place one striker near the goal and boot the ball down the field to her. The yellow team a player down were never going to be able to cover her.

And then the super big kicking goalie came out, not only could she kick, but she could run and dribble. She released her mate, who promptly scored.

but the Ref blew.

"No goal."

"Why"

"Loitering is not allowed."

At this point her brother threw his teddy on to the field of play. And there it lay Teddy Bear.

Who said it's only a game?

Ever heard of a goal being disallowed for loitering.

For the record, Blue team won 2-0, and the big kicking goalie is a star of the future for sure.
