Faraway Sir Ronald

It's been on and off for years but finally the time has come for Sir Ronald to be put out to pasture in Pembrokeshire and become Faraway Sir Ronald. Plenty of gardening to be done and the drink is already a distant memory. The KNOBS, who are they?

Goodbye Sir Ronald

Kempston 1 Knobs 4

Four wins on the trot. Well done.
Our longest away fixture, to dreary Bedford, the day of the clocks going back and a rainy windswept one at that. Spirits rose on arrival at Kempston on discovering a totally revamped sporting complex. Everything new, a stadium, a lovely manicured pitch then the reality. We were playing on the back pitch, a women's game in the arena taking precedence. Still it was a canny pitch.
Several players had aborted over the past 24 hours so there were 12 of us to do battle. Someone said Kempston had beaten Histon 5-1 last week to which one thought what or where is Histon.
Kicking downhill in the first half with a fierce breeze behind us did not suit. They scored first, as a bit of showboatin gave them the ball to do something with, which they did. A square ball to Phil some 30 yards out and dead centre saw him drive home with power. Half time 1-1.
Second half against the wind, it was all one way, our way. They hardly threatened as they were garrotted in midfield and undone by pace and verve up front. Matt scored a bit of a freak, which trickled over the line, all the more glorious, then Mike scored from close range and a tight angle after another breathtaking sprint by Gavin. Gavin had pace to burn and he did so, shaking off his flu symptoms in the best possible way. Are yi listnin Mark? Matt added a fourth with a delicious flighted shot from 20 yards. Their keeper saved them on several occasions and we contrived to miss a few. Satisfactory result. The Eagle beer was canny afterwards complementing the corned beef sandwiches and wodges of pastry and gristle somewhat elegantly.
Those of us with Steve enjoyed a rather scenic drive yem via every village in NW Hertfordshire.
Debbie's second effort at selling a dominoe card got the bum's rush (not surprisingly as he won the first) and he and I retired for a final pint in the Station sometime around midnight.

The next two weeks see us with a glut of player availablity and two friendlies, home to Birchanger and away to Garston. I would welcome chaps to contact me as to whether they have preferences as to which match they would like to play in. The Garston game is going to require we field our oldest side possible. I have some ideas as to who will participate in either or both but if you're not that bothered help me out.
By the way Kevin dropped out injured, Carl had weekend work and the Mills' brothers were ill. We look forward to hearing from the groupies attending Liverpool's Cavern Club to experience Knebworth's only geriatric rock 'n roll band, mostly ex-Knobs players who took up this pensioners' hobby when their vets' football days were over. Yi see footie, it's a young man's game!

Young Ron, who played the young man's game, obviously.

Hi Ron,

Just to let you know that i will be out for at least another four weeks with a bad groin strain. Oh well at least the doctor confirmed it was not a hernia as well!!

Good day all round and we took ten pounds off them for our subs. Were we taking liberties? I think so!!

I demand to play in both games and i will not tolerate being substitute or being taken off. So there.

Noone got 10 out of 10 not even Ron who only got 12 out of 10.
Should we just go with 17 or 18 players this week with everyone getting involved at some stage? I could bring me abacus to work things out like.
Wot do yooze fink or dont yi?

Why don't the team vote on m.o.m the same as we used to? just ask the players as they come off the pitch. I am worried Ron may choose his favourites, i mean the young ones he enticed into the team with sweeties!!

Tell him how good he still is(even though he is past it) and say you would be quite happy to be sub sometimes. Oh and he likes a bit of rimming!!

He offered me a bag of coal!!anything to do with shafting eh Ron?

What is rimming - and coal?

Anonymous said...

For rimming you need a lubricated tongue accompanied by a bottle of Dettol. First you... whoops someone at the door, must be the coalman to fill me.....
Remember if every hole's a goal what use is there in a load of coal in it.

The Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy was watching an elderly lady cross the road carrying some heavy shopping bags.
"can you manage love?" he asked.
"fuck off i don't want the job!!" she answered.

Anyway, this bloke comes home to find his missus packing her bags - "where you goin" he asks. "Down to London, I've heard you get £400 for a shag there and I've been givin it you free all these years"...on that the bloke starts packing his bags as well. "What you doin" asks his missus. "I gotta come with you" he says "just to see how you manage to live on £800 a year"...and by the way, Big Bob's got bigger bollocks....

Can i play on Carl's side please, 5 & 11 a-side?

Anonymous said...

dear clive 'the book' thomas i think you must mean pizza.

Pizza is the name of an oven-baked, flat, usually round bread covered with tomato sauce and often cheese, with other toppings left optional. While originating as a part of Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many different parts of the world. A shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold is called a "pizzeria"

Pizzy unfortunately is what i frequently do in bed after being bladdered

John Boyle is actually a pseudonym
for Johann Bloodclart von Guggenheim and a princely figure from a family of Saxe Coburgs, he's only slumming in Knebworth temporarily masquerading as a door to door computer and lavatory brush salesman. Carl, on the other hand, is the real deal, come and see him knock people over on Sunday, should he get anywhere near anyone that is.

A pizzly is a cross between a polar bear and a grizzly bear and the first one found has just been shot!

It's also called a grolar bear but if I had mentioned that, there would just be a load of growler gags.

A groin strain is indeed in that area. I went to the doctor as i thought i had a hernia as well! She cupped my balls in her hand and said that i had not got a hernia but had a lovely pair of hairy sacks!

Anonymous said...

Can I have a game or part of a game sometime? It seems it's only the newcomers who get picked regularly and we old despicables are simply that. I have paid my tenner! It's all very well saying every hole's a goal but every Sunday's a fucking vacuum!

Anonymous said...

can one of you wankers tell me who Kevin is? a few details would be nice and a description if possible. thanks.

Anonymous said...

Kevin is not wimpish looking, he supports Arsenal. He looks very Kevinish but in a manly way shall we say. They say he's got an injury problem around the big hairies at the moment but with the correct amount of caressing he should be back by Santa time.

Anonymous said...

If you are not picked to play it is due to a combination of the following:
you are to old
you are crap
your balls are to small

Anonymous said...

Kevin is John Boyle's height (shortish) but cuts more of a masculine figure than John. Slightly overweight, not a bad looking guy. I'd say he looks in his early thirties but is apparently nearly 45!. Quite a tenacious footballer(that means quick and dirty). Nice hairys as well.

This crappy blog is on the internet or summat, any cunt can access it and say what they like. Any fucker can then respond. Irony, self deprecation, double entendres, laughing at yersell all are potent weapons. But the important thing is even if there are elements of aggression, elements of piss taking the vital thing is to take it in your stride and respond with the vitriol of a fuckin gattlin gun.
Words should hurt no fucker. So far this season I've journeyed from extreme pederasty to being a receptive cunt from some of you tossspots. My response fack orf!, accompanied by the odd batey response. I am capable.Unfortunately others are not, so please think before you personalise and visit this blog with your most welcomed and highly original comments.
In closing I can only say the Knobs are us and howay the friggin lads- a waste of religious impulse the latter!

Remember be considerate, be kind, think before you blog and don't throw your cat shit down the toilet because it's causing devastation in the marine environment, ask Brendan he'll know the relevant nasty causing the trouble.
