Hmmm… think I’ll go over to the field and see if **JimSox** ever managed to get his pants back on.

What’s this? The icky ball is just laying here. It’s trying to touch my shoe! Ew! Ok, I’ll just give it a little kick to get it outta the way so’s I can put my cooler down. I mean it’s almost 9:00 AM and I ain’t even had my first beer yet!

Yes, **swampy** , I got some shorts on after changing out of the ref outfit. Now I’m going to kick this ball I got from you a very long way and run toward it, hoping you won’t sneak up behind me.

Ok folks…the Official Ref is back on the field. So far, the Chickens of Briston…err, Bristol lead Team 1 by a score of three-zip. **JimSox5** of the CoB was the last one to touch the ball.

C’mon, Team 1…let’s make this interesting! \<Tweeeeeeeeet!\> Game on!

Ah, **swampy** , why do I bother wearing pants at all? I ignore my nakedness from the waist down and grab **CandidGamera** ’s kick. From there I will begin to dribble the ball, until I try to do a spin move. Then the ball bounces off my foot into the hands of. . .
