Oct. 19th, 2008 04:27 pmAfter having their first seven matches of the season away from home, this afternoon it was finally back to Fort Blockhouse for the Hawk girls' Hampshire Cup match with Salisbury.
The Klix hot drinks machine in the indoor seating area offered latte coffee. What it actually dispensed was hot brown water with coalesced lumps of granules in. Ah, just like the Klix machine we used to have at my workplace.
Hawks won 5-0, and the Salisbury manager narrowly escaped a sending-off. After telling the ref "It wasn't that bad" when one of his players was booked for a tackle, and earning a lecture for that, as soon as play resumed he said to his assistant "He needs to chill out" - clear enough for everyone to hear. Including the referee, who promptly called him over, told him he was reporting him to the Hampshire FA (the manager's protests that he hadn't addressed his comment to the ref, and hadn't sworn, got him nowhere) and that if he said anything else he'd get the red card. The manager did make one more comment later in the match, but when the ref was out of earshot.
