I totally sound like one of those parents, but man, the opposition team were so annoying today. They soundly beat our team, but that doesn't give them to the right to say our team sucked and were crap while they were shaking hands at the end. Or to throw punches in the scrum.

Of the good though, the club had seats! Seats at pitch side! Seats at pitch side with cover over them! This was only the second time in the two seasons Corey's been playing that seats have been available. Which was fortunate as we took the MiL and FiL and neither of them are steady on their feet.

After that we went for a drive, ending up at the beach. It was raining and the waves were crashing against the sea wall, and we just sat and watched a while. Now I'm sitting getting some much needed online time before Top Gear later.

Tomorrow is James' hospital appointment to see the nerve doctor. Once we've been there we have to go straight to the school as Corey's involved in a rugby tournament. I tell you, time has been sucked away lately.

Okay, fannish now. If you know mickeym you'll know Kim writes so wonderfully well. She posted a beautiful Trickc story, which you should all go and read, because it's gorgeous and beautiful and just, Chris and JC, and I love them, and Kim so much.

Now I'm sitting getting some much needed online time before Top Gear later.

Snap! Me too. Don't forget it's on later than usual tonight (9pm).

One day we so need to meet and discuss all the shows we both love *g*

Thanks for the reminder. I would have been annoyed sitting at 8 and realising I had a whole hour to go.

[clear-my-eyes.livejournal.com]

we really do need to do that. Don't suppose you've been watching Strictly Come Dancing?

Or to throw punches in the scrum.

Pssht. You are NOT one of those parents--parents who encourage their kids to throw punches are the ones that are "those parents." Heh. It's probably a good thing I'm not a parent, because just reading this makes me want to get up in those kids' parents' faces and let loose, and I haven't even met your boy. *g* I thought one of the purposes of kids' sports was to teach sportsmanship, but apparently that's old-fashioned.

I hope the doctor can fix James up! Is he feeling any better, or still in major pain?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Gah, the whole team was so annoying. I didn't know about the throwing punches until after, but I saw the other team cat calling throughout the game. One of the other mams was close when they called our team names in the hand shake tunnel, and she told him it wasn't a nice thing to do. Of course he denied all knowledge.

James is on strong pain killers, so as long as he takes those on time he's okay. But if he's late you can totally tell. I really hope we get answers tomorrow.

Fingers crossed that James gets good/helpful news tomorrow.

It's sad when kid sports turns ugly. At that age, it should be all about good sportsmanship. Winning is important, yes, but not everything.

Needless to say, no one will ever hire me as a coach (which is probably good, since I would be, like, "throw the ball that way and hope for the best".)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the finger crossing.

At that age, it should be all about good sportsmanship.

I totally agree. I think at their age group, getting out, playing and having fun is more important that needing to win.

Your type of coaching sounds like what I'd do *g*

[truekat.livejournal.com]

Geez! Has that team not heard of "good sportsmanship"? What a shame that they had to make the loss even harder to take by being bad sports! :(

Many wishes for a good appointment for James at the nerve doctor. I will be anxiously waiting to hear the results!

*hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Bad sportmanship is horrible. I mean, they were a good team, there was no getting away from that. There was no need to say what they did at the end. Then when our team scored their one try, one of their players kicked the ball really hard out of the pitch, obviously out of spite.

Thanks, Karen. I'll let people know what happens.

*mwah*

Hope your hubby is feeling better.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for James tomorrow!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Turlough. I really hope we get some answers.

[musiclover03.livejournal.com]

Under My Tree-- been there done that have been transformed into a pile of goo repeatedly :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's a story of wonder!

[musiclover03.livejournal.com]

:) well she did help create the TrickC epic Absinthe :) so yes, those boys will always get alot of love from her and the trickc gals :)

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Y'know...I'd be willing to bet those kids wouldn't have acted that way if not spurred on by their parents. *scowls* Adults totally ruin kids sporting events by making it all about winning. :(

Good luck with the nerve doctor! *hugs* And I'm so glad you enjoyed the story :) *snuggles*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Adults totally ruin kids sporting events by making it all about winning. :(

They really do. Our team isn't that good, in fact they haven't won once this season. But they play as best they can, and they go out and have fun. At their age I think that's the best thing to do.

I loved the story! You can feed parts like that forever and I'd be happy.

Thank you, beautiful.

How's things anyway? I've been so damn busy lately I haven't emailed forever.

good luck to James tomorrow....

*sigh* why do I always forget to sign in?? ^^That's me.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

No worries at all. The sentiment remains, user name or not.

Thank you. *mwah*

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

hope all goes well tomorrow for James - and Corey, come to that :D

xx

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. Answers would be very welcome, as would Corey being in a winning side for once.

I think I have a one-track mind, because I read the following lines like this:

Of the good though, the club had seals! Seals at pitch side! Seals at pitch side with cover over them!

It took me a while to work out why that didn't make sense *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hee! I wish there had been seals at the pitch side. That would have been cool *g*

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Good Luck to James!!

A breakthrough would be a welcome early Christmas present, methinks.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That really would be nice.

Fingers crossed it will happen.
