I’ve tried to be supportive to Andy Butler, but I was wrong. That was the worst game of football I’ve ever seen, and the worst post match interview I’ve ever heard. Butler taking 70 minutes to come out and be interviewed is just being petty to annoy Ollie Turner.
Everything required for a football match was there – A stadium with a pitch correctly marked out and and goals at each end, a football (inflated to the correct pressure judging by the bounces and head tennis games), 2 teams each of 11 players plus a few substitutes, a referee with a working whistle and 2 assistants. There was even some floodlights so everyone could see what was happening. Despite all the necessary ingredients, 98 minutes of pure dross was played out to the 3,500 unfortunate spectators.
Scunthorpe United, unable to string 2 passes together and lashing balls away from their own goal with a carefree cry of “ ‘ave it !” that brought back memories of Deejays Division 6 games on Ashby Ville.
Alfreton, happy to destroy any hopes that a football match might accidentally break out by engaging in a masterclass of time wasting.
