Am shattered today and so are the boys...G's last study leave day so he had no school anyway and M looked like death warmed up this morning...Phoned his taxi escort said he's not going in he's done in and sent him back to bed...Yesterday was a very long day...We were up at 5am, well i was and i woke the boys about 5.15am...We did have a quick brekkie and i made sure that i had everything packed and not forgotton anything...Well i did forget something, suntan cream LOL...G's face is reddish/brown, M's is a bit pinkish and my nose is burnt...The weather in glasgow was glorious...To be honest after lunch it was a bit too hot for them playing 5-aside footie...I had packed plenty non fizzy drinks for them though...All in seperate bottles for after each game.
The 5-asides is graded and despite the disabilities officer up here asking several times she had not been given any advice on what grading our teams should be...So our 4 teams were in too high a grading :o( BUT they tried their best which is all they could do...G's team lost all 3 of their games, so did the other 16+ team and one of the under 16 teams...M's team lost 2 games and drew the third game...Poor G was shattered as he had run his heart out trying to be in defence where supposed to be and up front at same time...Haven't seen him have to use his asthma puffer so much before...M was goalie in his team and although he let in a total of 8 goals his team were more fairly matched up in their group...Actually M's team did gell together very well and were damn unlucky...M did have some fantastic saves :o) The first 2 teams they played against our lads had a lot of shots on target but the 2 goalies were good...And in the 2nd game they had a rubbish ref <sigh> ...In their 3rd game our lot were 2-0 down when they missed a penalty...Then they got another penalty which they did score from, then scored a brill goal and in the last few seconds they missed a sitter of a goal...They did all enjoy the day though which was the main thing :o)
One of the other parents had been talking to some of the other teams and was not impressed or happy...Apparently one of the teams was from a young offenders institution!!!! and a couple of others were from schools for kids who had been excluded from everywhere because of bad behaviour...Now whatthe heck were teams like those doing at national DISABILITY sport tournament!!!...There is words going to be had between our disabilities officer and the organisers and about the grading system...We will be back down next year though :o) Anyways more later as i have to go for a bit

Caff you had everything well sorted for your day out ~ sounds like they enjoyed their games ~ "Young Offenders" ~ "Kids excluded because of bad behaviour" however did they get into disability games ~ I think I would have to have words with the organisers something very wrong there ~ not with the Children but they are able bodied young people and should have their own games ~ Ally
PS forgot to say how nice your picture is in your sidebar ~ Ally
football.................hm..............
cricket anyone?
Hi Caff, I`m glad to hear that the boys had a good day at the footie. Sounds like the weather was almost too good for it! I can`t understand why there was a team of young offenders there either, I can`t see what disability THEY have.
