Just had to read it again TT your prose is exquisiteTygerTyger said:Classic Jacko moment (when I jumped on the bandwagon) - against the pies (i think) there were 3 of the scum hovering around a ball in dispute about to take possession. A few tigers nearby were holding back, waiting to see what happened (I assume) when from seemingly a million miles away, a read headed blur charged through the Pies, scattering them like bowling pins, and ripping the ball from a scum's feeble grip and (ignoring the hovering receivers behind him) banged it very long. He won possession through sheer desire for the ball. None of this pussy-footing around, or worrying about looking foolish committing to a contest that he probably wouldn't win. Sheer desire, strength and running in a straight line (I wish a few of his more highly regarded team mates played with the same attitude)
