Eagle-eyed

Another exciting day at the Alternative Olympic Games in the Tewkesbury Stadium with all the thrills and spills brought to you by your intrepid blip reporter in conjunction with Debbi!

Today saw the semi-finals of the football with two competing raptor teams! With a long history of competitiveness aggravated disputes both on and off the pitch the game degenerated into a shambles.

Spurred on by their manager here with an eagle-eye, shouting encouragement threats from the bench, things got ugly quickly. A dodgy decision by the referee resulted in his linesman's disappearance and the game had to be stopped. With a record of this having happened before, the most notorious striker on the pitch, Gina the Tawny, suffered a very close inspection , clearly an indignity, loudly protesting her innocence with comments of, 'It wasn't me ref!!' with a very bored cross-eyed and insolent look! With a serious lack of evidence it was up to Hawk Eye to make a final decision. Under instructions to ring her bell if threatened and intimidated she had the final say. Gina was red carded, a new substitute entered the arena. However it was not long before another dispute broke out with Uriah Owl accused of covering the ball. The goalie on his goal post looked a bit bored by this point, clearly lacking focus and a cracking goal was scored by a forward who just swooped in taking him unawares! A huge dispute then led to an Olympic Official flying in to make the peace. The goal stood and with only one fatality thankfully we can look forward to a gripping final. I will not be standing too close to the touch-line!
