Football back on - for Tuesdays

I recieved a text message a couple of days back, from shabs: 'football was being organised again for tuesdays'. I was in two minds wheter to come back and play last night. the uncertainty in deciding was based on the new recruit (Umar) taking a lot of our (being the wifes and mine) time of late.As he is only 11 weeks old he needs a lot of care and attention.

Funnily enough the decision was made for me by Erfaan. He gave me a quick phone call at work imploring me to play, zulf (zulfiqar) wanted company in travelling to skipton from bradford so I thought it would be in the interest of all parties to keep him company. In hindsight I think it was the right decision.

Once the decison had been made I left work early to help out with the housework I promised to hoover the upstairs before I went to work in the morning: happily umar was in a good mood so I mentioned to the misses I would be playing football tonight once she had given the thumbs up It was back to the housework.

I had a great game, and my team nominated me as 'man of the match', we were a bit rusty in our play in the first twenty minutes. Eventually our midfield general Amjad
(from nelson) stamped his authority on the game and started to dictate the tempo and rhythm of our play I
Made four world class saves and I kept a clean sheet, considering it was about -1 degrees celcius it was not a bad nights work all in all. Shabbs seemed in good spirits and even invited Zulf and myself for tea. On this occasion it was politely declined but who knows maybe next week it will be a different story.

I ham hoping now to keep the past in the past and let petty squabbles be consigned to the dustbin.
