The Beach Ball

Comments (15)

After two horrible league performances that raise a lot of questions regarding our manager, I thought it best to have a laugh at the expense of another team. We all know you can't lose more than a few league games and still be considered contenders, so it is with great joy that I watched a perfectly positioned beach ball give the reds another loss. The timing was exceptional, the victims so perfect. It really couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch.

Yesterday, I took my little fella to see his auntie in the northeast. We had a lovely day out, playing on the beach, makin sandcastles... you know, generally having a great time.

But on our way home my lad lost his ball, its red and has a bit of shite on it but its got sentimental memories. If anyone finds it, could you please return it to me, Anyway have to go now, Fivebellies needs a drink cheers. Gazza.

I know we're not up to much ourselves at the moment but we don't think we can win the league right now. But they fuckin do, so what joy to finally see the luckiest team in the world get fucked by fate. Unbelieveable after 30-odd years of them being the fluekiest team they get a bit of bad luck.

Gerry Marsden, Cilla , Stan Boarthem, Jimmy Tarbuck, Pinnocio Thompson, Clattenberg, Fat Waiter... Your Boys Took One HELL Of A Beating... BY a Fuckin Beach Ball.

Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Someone said the goal was scored by a little red round fucker.

Thought Sammy Lee didn't play for them anymore.

Come on lads, laughing at someone else’s misfortune never did any credit to anyone, did it?

Besides, it seems that RS marketing has done very well out of this. My informant tells me that the offending (is that the right word?) beachball comes from a "Dream Holiday At Formby With Stevie G and Mark Clattenberg" set that they sell over there. They have sold out in a day. Obviously a collectors’ items.

The beach ball was definitely in an offside position - but who cares?

RAFA: "Sammi, Sammi, get out of the goal!"
SAMMY: "Boss, I'm here!"
RAFA: "Stupid boy, get out of the penalty box."
SAMMY: "Boss, I'm standing next to you."
RAFA: "That's not you? Who is it then?"
SAMMY: "It's a fuckin' beachball, yer stupid twat!"
RAFA: "You have twin, yes?"
SAMMY: "No, what ya mean, fuckin' twin? It's a ball — a fuckin' beachball, for fucks sake!"
RAFA: "Good goal, get Hicks on the phone — tell him we've found another striker!"
SAMMY: "It's just a ball, you thick Spanish cunt — a fuckin' ball."
RAFA: "Don't call me thick, you shortyarse — I told you, I've been on diet."
SAMMY: "I didn't mean that... oh for fuck's sake!"
RAFA: "I told you after you're eatin' all the pies — no more! John Barnes has been on the phone, and he's not thick — just big bones."
SAMMY: "It doesn't mean that, it means you're a crackpot."
RAFA: "Wat is crackpot? Is it scouse for 'crack coach' — as in 'the best'?"
SAMMY: "Oh god, wonder what Big Sam's doin'..."
RAFA: "Wat?!?"
SAMMY: "Just phonin' Hicks, boss, just phonin' Hicks..."
RAFA: "Yes, phone Hicks, you sure you no twin?"

The beach ball produced possibly a finer show of goal poaching than greats like Lineker and Gerd Muller ever did.

Ray Robinson — I was thinking the same thing about the next derby. How’s about a huge one (deflating of course) with "The Shite's title ambitions" painted on it, to pass around the ground.

Can you imagine how many beach balls are going to be at their next match - at Old Trafford, isn’t it?

Funny take on this at the Daily Mash here http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2149&Itemid=26

sample... "He immediately promised to rid Anfield of the vampire, cat-faced cockroaches that were infesting the changing rooms and after unveiling Fernando Torres in 2007, he went on to introduce Sammy Davis Jr and Secret Squirrel, whom he also believed he had signed."

The Liverpool supporter who threw the ball onto the pitch has reportedly been identified by Norwegian police.
