Viewpoint: I think my wife, Rose, thinks I fully agree with the slogan on the shirt Tim gave me ... Football is life ... The rest is merely details. I reckon it's almost true, but it does give you a great release from the stresses of the 'real' world. A chance to run, jump, kick, head, compete, have fun, have a laugh. It's a great way to meet so many good people, even the refs! (just kidding)
