Exiled in a kilt

That's of course of the spherical variety.

Here are the stories I mentioned in the previous entry:

1) I usually play either in goal or defence. I know my limitations skill-wise, but positionally & reading the game I am fairly good. One time at college I tried out for the full college team, decided that I would show these canucks why they call it the beautiful game. I played out on the wing instead & tried some trickery. I skinned one player with a step-over and thought I'd up the difficulty level. So the next time I got ahead of myself & tried a double stepover. I rolled the ball forward, brought it back, swung the right foot over the top, then proceeded to trip over the ball when I attempted to swing my left over. Down I go in a heap, I managed to break the ankle


2) After that I just signed up for co-ed intramural football instead, & played my usual game. This was indoor 6 a side. One team we were playing against had a pretty big guy playing for them and he sent one of the girls on my team into the wall. I took exception to this (also the fact that I "liked" this girl) so next time he came towards me I knocked him over with a tackle & while pulling him back to his feet told him to be more careful next time. He responded by calling me a fat bastard, & I informed him that I was only fat because everytime I went around to attend to his girlfriend she cooked for me. Long story short, he took a swing at me, I ducked, then put him on his back. Sent off, but got date (not girl on team, just a bystander)
