Games
33-34, 2016-17
It's half-time, and I'm already 3-0 up. I'm
only the referee and I've scored a hat-trick! Such are my phenomenal football
skills. At least, that's how it seems to the away team, whom we'll name here as
Moaning FC (whereby FC does not denote 'Football Club').

| When all is quiet on a weekend night, while Moaning FC hatches its cunning plan to spring the offside trap. |
It's a thankless game - part of a winter break tournament that both mens' teams of decent footballing pedigree are
taking very seriously - because Moaning FC is playing the offside trap on a
short turf field, and that always means trouble for the referee. Each one of
the three goals scored by the home team, maintains Moaning, was clearly
offside. From the bench to their followers right through all of its playing staff,
the club's protests are not meek, and their opinions are loud and clear.
