Playing Fair.

A game for gentlemen

Played by hooligans.

You see it so often,

The tug of the shirt,

Tripping others,

Arguing with the ref,

Handling the ball

Then denying it.

Why is football

So full of cheats?

So many fouls.

The refs have no respect,

All argue with the ref.

Why cannot this game,

This game for gentlemen

Be played by gentlemen?

But no,

It’s played by hooligans.

Did the journalist have it right

When he wrote:

“There’s more chance

Of Trump paying his taxes,

Than a footballer

Playing fair with a referee.”
