PFA men and PFA cats and dogs
Chris Raistrick
the PFA get.
You know, the bit they use for ex-players, hard on their luck or for
developing the game or as a fighting fund to protect players in
general. [1]
Well, seems the PFA has just invested £1.9M of it in Burnden Park.
Not the old Bolton stadium you understand. Not that it'd cost that
much I'd imagine, unless the supermarket's doing particularly well
these days.
No, in fact a painting of it. By that dead bloke, LS Lowry. Dead, as
in he won't even be seeing any of the money.
As if it's not bad enough chucking nigh on two million on a picture,
this one was painted after the invention of the camera and apparently
by a 4 year old.
"... captures the atmosphere of going to a match." my arse. Only if
it's 'Ecky Thump Wanderers verses Anorexics United.
Chuff me, our parents did eat occasionally, you know. And my dad's
got a rediculous collection of hats but no flat caps among them.
And clogs. Bloody clogs. I mean, sparking clogs is all well and good
if you're on holiday in Amsterdam but Tommy Ball's never sold the damn
things.
Two million for a bunch of lifeless, unattractive, Lancastrian figures
in a rectangular frame heading nowhere in particular. When you can
get a Coronation St video for a tenner. It's a disgrace.
Sorry to come over all Thacker[2] but I blanche when I think of who's
in charge of the PFA.
[1] From things like foreigners being able to play here and other such
evils; but that's another rant.
[2] As I'm sure suzie[3] would say.
[3] Sic.

What are you saying. I'll have you know my brother went out with one
of Tommy's daughters. [1]
Pillock dropped her.

Not matching pairs, mind.

I presume he sold the wheelbarrow, thereby providing the necessary
capital for expansion.
