You Didn't Win, But Good Effort

There was a game of footy on recently and it was my team The Tiges up against Maca's team from Canberra, The Green Menace aka Ragedrs aka the Canberra Raiders.  While my Tiges have found some form, Canberra has not, and I was asked if I was willing to give his team a few points start to make it interesting.



Well reader, I was GOBSMACKED!!



Why should I give his team, your team, anyones team a start?  This is what is wrong with the world, people getting starts.  If you cannot compete on a level playing field then get out of the way.  I suppose your team will want a little pennant at the end of the contest which says “You didn’t win, but you came second and you tried really hard, and that is what matters”?  Well you can forget that!  The world is a rough and tumble place and if you lose, it is gods way of saying you need to try harder next time.  A start?  A START?  You have given up before the game has even begun.  Lets just keep both teams kicking off with the scoreboard reading zero points a piece and take it from there.  Who ever has the larger number at the final whistle will win, without the leg-up of having a few points start.  Start…next you will be wanting opposition sides to play hopping on one leg or whilst wearing blindfolds.



Tiges went on to win 40-0, and I was there to witness it.  FORTY POINTS to the TIGES, ZERO POINTS to the RAGEDRS...it was a beautiful thing to see, and the issue of points starts was not mentioned again so I suppose it all worked out for the best.



And that's all I have to say about that.
