Playing the Game

With only five minutes to go we thought we were home and hosed!  Just when it mattered the opposition turned around kicked a few more goals and won by three points!!  I was more disappointed than Merv.  I was so excited about our expected AFL (football) win I had dug around in the drawers to retrieve Merv's  Eagles scarf and beanie.  Every goal from our beloved team brought cheers and clapping from both of us, at least until the tide turned and we were left devastated. '"Oh well," I said.  To be truthful I couldn't say that for a few hours afterwards!  There is two sides to every story.  Tonight there were many happy people who barrack for the opposing team celebrating!  Hopefully next week it will be us!
