No game thurs

Boys,

The good news is that i've saved us £25. The bad news is that I may have cost us 2pts. Apparently if we don't turn up for friendlies that they arrange as a result of a team pullin out, we don't get our 10-0 win. Basically, its their way of making money out of a non-fixture. In fact its ridiculous. Lets say there are 2 fixtures that have one team missing from each. Each of the missing teams have to pay the total price of their respective fixtures, and then the other two teams get paired against each other, and have to pay £25 each.
Anyways, the woman was claimin that we either get a draw or (effectively) have to pay £25 for the win. I was like, well, everyones already made plans, so I can turn up by myself, get the 3 pts and you'll have the whole other team moanin at you for them payin £25 for shootin practice.
She tried to offer me a 'worse' deal of postponing the match, and waiting for a new team to come in to take the place and then playing it, so I was like "yeah OK then, do that." When it comes down to it, I can't really justify in my own mind paying money for a win. The other team that we were scheduled to play haven't turned up. Fact. The outcome of that game shouldn't be dependent upon whether we pay to play a friendly or not. Corruption dot com.

Anyways boys, no football thursday. See you all later in the week. Sam, u might wanna do some level of translation for andre cos its long winded!.
