The Pensioner

The main event

The day beforehand is lost though I did venture uptown to get a pre-holiday haircut. And holiday shoes. And holiday money. Yep, all being well, we’re off on our holidays next week.
So, Rosenborg. And we’re 2-1 down. So we need to get the stadium rocking and set about them. I mean technically they’re quite a gifted set of players so that needs combatted. And instead we lose a goal 5 minutes in. And nearly a second. Despair. But…. we dig in, get one back and at half time it’s 1-1. Only one thing for it - water the pitch at half time to make the ball and surface as unplayable as possible. I jest, surely. The grass needed a watering. And blimey, did we not turn them over. 2-1. All square. Cammy Devlin! He’s never played a better game in a maroon shirt. During the World Cup where he was an unused substitute for the Aussies he famously “swapped” shirts with Lionel Messi. Now the wags suggest Messi has been in touch wanting Cammy's shirt. Seven minutes injury time and Cammy sclaffs it - deflection - goal!!! 3-1!! Let joy be unconfined.
