Just got back from playing in a local 5 a side league and I thought I'd vent my frustration on PH. Our team is made up from people from my year in school, and this week we couldn't get enough players to play. So we asked a few of our mates who played for another team in the league to play for us and they agreed, all fine, no problems. Unfortunately we weren't playing any old 5 a side team, we were playing THE most fking over the top pathetically competitive team I've ever encountered. I mean its a fking thursday league for fk sakes it's hardly the fking FA cup. So we've got 8 players, the maximum allowed within the rules, if we hadn't had extra players we'd have only had 5 players, with no subs, and the rate most of us drink we wouldn't last 5mins let alone 30mins without rolling subs. All fine, no complaints at the start of the game. We play the first half, then I notice their goalkeeper going up to the ref and start a long discussion with him. I went to listen to what was going on, and apparently he was complaining that we had too many "guest" players. The half time score was 3-2 to them, so they were still winning, but they still felt the need to complain, because of their fking patheticness. Every team had been playing with players from other teams for weeks, because a few of the teams are from my school, so we just exchange players as and when we need to. They were obviously fking too afraid to play us as we were because they would've lost. After much discussion the ref decided we were allowed to play on, but with only 5 players, bearing in mind the 3 "guests" we had had already played one game so they were all fatigued. I mean fair enough be competitive, but when you're that fking scared of losing you'll go to the ref to ruin a perfectly good game of football is fking pathetic if you ask me. The fking keeper in question had already played for another team aswell the hypocritical . I'll certainly be studying the rules in minute detail in future, in a feeble attempt to catch them out. Failing that, I'll resort to a lost art, good old abusive chanting in their direction. Hope i didn't bore you too much with the rant.
That is all

You need to chuck in a Paragraph or two in order to make it readable.

Some people see it as a matter of life and death. It's much more important that than.

SOS.
