I’ve seen a lot of football
at a lot of grounds and very often heard players, referees and just the general
play described, indeed addressed, as (although usually in cruder terms)
excrement, but today at Darlington RA’s FA Vase tie we had the real thing on
the Brinkburn Road field of play; thirty minutes into the game the referee’s
attention was drawn to some poop on the pitch prompting him to halt the game
and call for a club official to get out there with a scoop, but as the
embarrassed groundsman hurried off to his shed an enterprising fan came to the
rescue with his empty (plastic) pint pot to do the honours, a pitch invasion that
for once sped up rather than delayed play.
