In these dog days of summer, I was thinking about those small things in football that you sometimes see but which generally go unnoticed. However, when you do see them, they just add that little bit extra to the enjoyment of the spectacle. Here are three such examples.
We score, and as players runs to celebrate with the scorer the ball bounces back into the box only for a teammate to lash it again into the empty net, preferably into the roof, before running to join in the celebrations.
We score, and as the players run to celebrate, the ball bounces back to a defender who picks it up and in his blind rage kicks it high into the sky, preferably into the crowd.
We score away from home, and as the players run to celebrate in front of the home crowd, a single plastic pint pot floats through the sky and lands on the pitch at their feet. It’s always just one pot and always empty.
Any others?
