There’s an atmosphere growing
around the opposition’s end at a Northern Football Team
their captain scythed down the home team’s star striker
and there were handbags approaching half time
From uproar and arguments, its down to two men
the man in red against the man in green
man in green stands on the line
man in red puts the ball on the spot
Time seems to have stopped
for a moment, silence has fallen
you could almost hear a noisy blade
of windswept grass
The striker starts to run at the ball
the goalie stands his ground
left or right – that decision
that will change the supporters sound
