To play it again - right-klick on the video, "play".

gggggggggggggg

The guy complaining (if that's what it is, initially it rather looks like he's celebrating!??) to the ref is, of course, the leftback who should've stopped Princess No 4 making that lovely, if unchallenged, run in the first place.

The bustle nearby must've somehow alerted Lion's "8". Check him snapping into action! Yes!!- he decided to move again after holding that stragegically important spot for considerable amounts of time!

Lion's "18" efforts to catch up with the lady are equally determined. "You will succeed" one encouragingly wants to shout, " - if he/she suffers a stroke!". One cannot help but feel sorry for the two chaps silly enough to break sweat: Lion's "4" and the spectator in the red t-shirt. Foreigners, probably.

Further note the relaxed stance of the forwards who, having lost the ball to start with, doggedly maintain their forward positions in the face of the Princesse's attack, seemingly hoping that jogging across the deserted midfield will exhaust the frail royalty sufficently to mar any goal scoring efforts. When proven wrong the gestures of annoyance are either only too understandable or merely disguising the fact that one is enjoying having one's shirt lifted by a princess.

Excellent post Lion!!!!
I even approve of your witty commentary. It is only a pity that the princess turns me inside out with so much ease. Terrible piece of defending. I will give myself 20 lashes with a piece of barbed wire
shamefully yours,

Hey Gaffer,
What happened to you, did the wife throw you out of bed this morning? posts at just past 8am, nobody in the council actually works at that time do they?
Good training yesterday - much better than the week before.

making sure the milkman's not about

damn good session, especially the corner routines, good ATTACK vs DEFENCE drill. could add to it next week, Captain Black suggested adding an 'off-the-ball' drill, I'm up for that, get you lazy lumbering defenders moving - on this video evidence, think it's proven once and for all that you're all half men/half fork lift - let's take it to the Private Board - I feel the need to swear!!!!!!!
