Feb. 13th, 2010 07:04 pmTo Havant by noon, for lunch at The Heron before crossing the road to the HWFC clubhouse to watch the Southampton v Portsmouth game in the agreeable company of Ladies' team manager Dick, Ladies' team player Lauren and several mixed fruit Kopparbergs.
Then the main event, Hawks v Lewes. Early in the game the Radio Southern Counties summariser asked anyone who might be listening "Who's the Lewes number 12?" I replied "Lewis Hamilton." As well as having the same name, the Lewes defender also bears a little resemblance to the F1 driver, so I wondered whether the radio man thought I was taking the mick.
We took the lead just after the half hour when Gary Macdonald headed in a corner from Ian Selley, but after the break Hawks took their feet off the pedal a little - and the ref constantly blew up to card Hawk players. When our inspirational striker Manny Williams was substituted on the hour, one of the elderly critics in the stand shouted "Rubbish," drawing a rejoinder of "He's been ill all week, you PRAT!" from Trev. That didn't stop the old guy shouting "Rubbish!" again when Hinshelwood was taken off.
The booking interruptions somehow, in the ref's mind, added up to 5 minutes' time added on. Guess what - Lewes got an equaliser in the 95th minute.
No solace from the Shire, whose game was frozen off.
Sick as a parrot.
