| | Aw, sorry for talking about soccer all the time (it almost literally consumes my life). But it's soccer that affects me so, and my face hurts gr! So, I joined a ladies team, as I may or may not have mentioned to some, so I play every Sunday with a bunch of people who range from 5- 20 years OLDER THAN ME. Playing with thirty year olds can be fun. :) They remind me of children trying to play soccer, except they are wrinkly. Their skill level is mediocre at best, but its a game and I did it for fun. They all say they do it for exercise, but being a goalie, I barely even break a sweat during these games. Except last Sunday. We were playing the toughest team in the ladies league, and even though they only had 9 players to our full team plus 4 substitutes, we tied 2-2. Now, I don't ever feel bad for getting scored on by old ladies (they're not THAT old after all). I've been off a few months, so my skills really stink at this point. But this game got a little too serious for a fun game to be considered 'fun'. I got not only headed in the back of the head on one corner, but on the following corner kick I got headbutted in the FACE. I wish I took a picture because my lip was bleeding and my nose looked like a golf ball was sticking out of it (well, maybe something a bit smaller than a golf ball...) and my eye was slightly purplish. Not to mention the pain courseing through my cheek. And the girl, well, not girl, but the lady didn't even get a yellow card! It's one thing to accidentally bump heads if your two field players and a reg let's it go, but if on the SECOND TIME a player runs into the GOALIE that is more serious. And now, I insert my rant on stupid referees and their idiotic reasoning that has been building up since my first experience in club soccer! And yes, this deserves capslock: REFEREES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE THE 'LAW' BUT THEY ARE NOTHING BUT DICTATOR SHITHEADS WHO DON'T KNOW THE SKY FROM THE GROUND. THEY BLOW THEIR LITTLE WHISTLES AT EITHER THE WRONG TIME OR THE WRONG TIME. THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF FAIRNESS AND, YES, THEY DO PICK SIDES BASED ON THEIR PERSONAL LIKING OF ONE TEAM OVER ANOTHER (OR PLAYER OVER ANOTHER). THEY ARE INCOMPETANT AND DON'T MAKE THE GAME SAFER, BUT ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS BY ALLOWING FOULS TO GO ARRAY AND PISSING OFF PLAYERS ABOUT LITTLE FOULS THAT AREN'T FOULS AT ALL. THEY ARE BLIND, STUPID, DEAF, AND LACK KNOWLEGDE OF THE GAME. REFS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY SOCCER BEFORE THEY CAN REF SOCCER. BITCHES! EVERYONE CHANT WITH ME! A ROPE, A TREE! HANG THE REFEREE! Ahem, that's my rather condense version of my hatred toward those useless zebras. Ah, if only. But that was Sunday, afterwards I spent much time on editing an essay for english which was due today, but of course! our professor cancelled class (he's supposively sick) and therefore I stayed up till midnight for no reason. As Saira says, at least I'm done with it... I have two exams tomorrow, in chemistry and biology. Should be easy peasy lemon squeezy! |
