"The ball was there to be won ref!"

Anger!

First published on 10th August 2024

My reaction to the tin opener being in the teaspoon section which stopped the draw shutting

 

I’m a cheerful soul. Always bringing joy to peoples lives (sarc.).  The Wife disagrees. She says I get angry about something as small as not finding a table spoon in the draw

 

I mean, how am I supposed to eat Weetabix without a tablespoon? Its either take 3hrs to eat it with a teaspoon, or dislocate my jaw like a snake eating it with a ladel

 

Slander. She has a point, but angry? I’m a good observer (*)

 

(*)The table spoon was in the draw, he just didn't look properly. He then got angry about the set up of the cutlery draw - The Wife

This season, I’ll have rational discussions about every day life which are also linked with our beloved Tranmere Rovers. Today's kettle pot? Anger

 

Anger’s a good vent. Whether its Yoga or screaming into a pillow. Alternatively, do what I am calling; A Santos

 

What’s a Santos? Well we all remember the infamous Battle of Bramall Lane in 2002?  In 2001 Santos was injured in a collision with Johnson, for which Santos had to have a 5½ hour operation on a fractured eye socket

 

By 2002, Johnson had moved to West Brom. Santos, still stewing about the incident the year before, had moved to Sheffield Utd

 

In an ill tempered game, Utd manager Neil Warnock, brought on Santos to tighten up his midfield. Santos immediately locked in on Johnson

Der der... der der... der der der der (jaws theme) 🦈

The ball was played to Johnson. Before it reached him, Santos had made his move. He ran full pelt towards an unaware Johnson, and jumped in the air 5yrds away from him.  As the ball got near Johnson, Santos connected sending him flying

 

Now, Johnson wasn't a weak player. He could handle himself. But George was a 6 ft 3in man mountain and built like a fridge. A normal tackle from him probably hurt. Like getting two footed by Robocop

 

Three somersaults and a double twist later, Johnson hurtled towards the ground and planted his face into the Bramell Lane turf

In Georges defence, he got the ball.  Apologies for the poor quality, but 2002 wasn't really an UHD era

Georges, not even looking back to see his red card, just walked off. His work was done.  For us he will always be remembered for what he was; Sir Kenny Irons' bodyguard

 

Anyway, next time you feel like you need to vent your anger, always look into the sky and think;

 

What would Georges do?
