But the day it suddenly occurs to Roy just how fun it would have been to play football with Jaime, if Jamie hadn’t been such a colossal prick back when they were on the team together? Like, of course he’s always known that Jamie was great and all, but the whole ‘makes me want to puke’ thing really obscured the fact that it could have been brilliant.

But it wasn’t, and then Jamie was gone and Roy retired and then Jamie was back and Roy returned as a coach and he never thought too much about what could have been, until one day when he sees Jamie and Richard or whoever pull some truly spectacular, nigh on telepathic shit on the pitch and he’s suddenly stunned by the realization that I fucking missed out on that.

It pisses him off a bit (as most things are wont to do), so he confronts Jamie about it, like, “Why the fuck did you have to be such a prick, we could have been fucking fantastic together?”

Jamie makes a face, because hello, random and uncalled for? “Um, why did you have to be such a nasty old bastard, mate? It takes two to tangle, like.” And before Roy has time to tell him that it’s tango, you dolt, Jamie adds, “Besides, doesn’t matter how nice I’d been about it, you’d still have been proper bitter about me being better than you.”

And that’s… a little bit true, maybe, because Roy did fucking love being the best on any team he ever was one, and he was fucking bitter about slowing down and growing old. But even so…

“Would have been fucking worth it,” Roy decides.

Jamie nods, slightly subdued, perhaps. It would have been. And it’s a sorrow, the fact that they wasted that opportunity on hating each others’ guts – but isn’t it a wonder, too, that they found their way past all that?

“We’re pretty fucking fantastic together now, Coach,” Jamie says, gently bumping his shoulder against Roy’s.

Roy grunts, in the way that means yes.

#was randomly struck by the vision of the world if jamie and roy had actually gotten along and clicked on the pitch #i mean their huge huge egos would always have been an issue #but the football they could have played... #we were robbed #THEY were robbed (they robbed themselves and each other and also us) #anyway i'm having a feeling about it so now roy does too #roy kent #jamie tartt #roy & jamie #my stuff

me watching the gifs of neymar losing 1 million dollars gambling and then brushing it off like it's nothing while i drink my $3.46 ice cap that i saved for the end of the week as my treat for getting through my tests:

#bro i thought he was just playing a game and was dramatic losing #god i hate looking at the wages of players #like yah u could say he works for it but then u look at what's happening in paris #and all over the world and its like #😐😐😐 #i always try to forget the money aspect of football bc it just depresses me #remember yall when we eat the rich all our favourite athletes r there too

I'm bringing all of you to the capoeira practice

#also wondering how many of you are only siblings because I'm pretty sure the first place I learnt to throw a punch was at home #I also got in a lot of physical fights because I took no shit with homophobic bullying and cat calling #but but. both football and capoeira in my neighbourhood were important to me growing up because it gave me the knowledge that I could in #fact beat up a man because physical strength isn't the only thing at play #and I do think the fact most boys grow up having very physical games while girls don't plays a huge factor in women being conditioning to #not react #genuinely think the most important thing when you're in a real fight. is how many real fights you've been on before #a lot of men are very weak for pain. you can beat them in endurance. like I understand there's disadvantage but I hate the DOOMY way some #women talk about men being larger/stronger as someone who's successfully fought off many situations #but this is also why I hate most self defense. like regularly practicing martial arts does help. but a 10 hours course will not kick in a #desperate situation where you need muscle memory. my best advice is if you don't know how to throw a punch just DON'T you can do more with #your elbows or slapping. just. a lot of fights it's being willing to let the desperation kick in and go for the throat yk #honestly I KNOW how to throw a punch and even I tend to go for elbows because I'm 160cm and not that strong lol #anyways my worst opinion as someone who works with teens is that I think sometimes we should let kids solve some problems with their hands #will always pretend I don't see gay students or women who get harassed throwing punches #some of you truly should've caused more chaos in your school years #also it's really sad that women were banned from capoeira for a long time some 'tradicionalists' still complain #it's all about being nimble and smarter in order to beat an opponent you ASSUME it's stronger than you. it just feels great #gave me a lot of confidence when I really needed ot

Thank you for everything girls, thank you for let us dream at least a little

I'm sorry that y'all come from a country that proclaims themselves the ''country of football'' then self sabotage the women's teams

what if I used the opening paragraph of We Have Always Lived in the Castle to teach my students how to write a good intro to their narratives. I have no idea if they would get or appreciate it but it would be a little treat for me

#we have always lived in the castle #shirley jackson #if I read one more narrative that starts like #ever since I was a child I loved to play football! #everyone has experienced sadness in their lives! #i will throw my laptop across the room #Merricat is gonna show these kids how it’s done

my football team is so hopeless

#not dortmund lol i mean the club i play at myself #it makes me want to quit ngl #there are just so many things i'm fed up with #at times it's not fun anymore #i like playing football but there's just a lot wrong with this team #but i'm mostly just hanging around because i don't want to let my coach down like he cares and genuinly seems like a good coach #the only thing which gives me a bit of hope #and i hate letting people down 😅 that and also i hate giving up #but i have never seen a team more hopeless or felt more hopeless playing a sport 😅 #and he apparently thinks i'm kind of important to the team which i kind of get but also it doesn't really make a difference... #we're just so hopeless i can’t turn this around lol #i always start and i hope it continues but there's not much i can do #we just have too many people who don't care last match so many have given up #some of our team just refuse to run or move at some point it's awful #like why can't you try #we always loose so high like what's the point but still don't give up #besides that the endurance (and also sprint speed) of most is awful which could be trained to a point #but whenever the coach tries to do that almost no one shows up 💀 #and i usually play wing or outside midfielder but i'm supposed to also be a defender apparently what #whenever we get a goal on my side and i'm not back in defence someone moans at me like that's my fault #i get working back but i can’t be everywhere especially when some people don't move #and i actually try to get the ball foreward or try to get the ball back in the front because i don't give up when we're behind #i want to score goals and not settle with loosing and only sit back to do defence anymore #naturally there will be open spaces when i try to do that but how is giving up better even when it's hopeless we could still try scoring #and i can't be everywhere they should try my position they would never last 90min running like i do #besides i'm already exausted each week from my training before like i do sports 2-3 hours 6 or 7 days a week #unfortunately i have to because once again i'm trying some entrance exam (for sports to become a teach in sports and english hopefully) #asides from that i don't like most of the people at my club 😅 it feels a bit like highschool again and i didn't like highschool #so many are ignorant and judgemental #like the girl i told you about with her comment about the cleaning lady instead of wanting to clean up her stuff herself 🙄

damn i'm realizing that i've really made it basically impossible for myself to watch a whole bayern match until. october. do i hate myself subconsciously or something

#i COULD watch next weekend's but i wish it weren't the topspiel #because my best friend is visiting so i'd feel bad being like... let's stay at home until 1:30 because i want to watch football #but maybe he'll want to watch or go on a run or something. we'll see #and i have therapy on fridays so i'll miss the first half of the leverkusen game #unless i move therapy which i might bc i REALLY want to see how we do against leverkusen #then i'm on a plane during the bochum match :( #and on a road trip w my family for the whole of the next week #so definitely missing the first pokal match bc i'll be hiking in the mountains somewhere #possibly i could watch leipzig in the car IF there's reception #oh fuck and then i'm at a wedding the weekend after so i'll also be in a car during freiburg #fuck me i will not be able to normally watch a bayern match until october 21 😭 #bc the ucl matches are also always inconvenient lol #i hate when they always make us the sunday game or the topspiel let us play the early saturday kickoff! #anyway. this is way too much detail about my life. i'm just complaining #bella things

this time I'm waking up from a dream where I was hanging out at my childhood best friend's house as an adult & he wanted to fight me to the death for literally no reason. his dad was there to egg him on & only requested we took it outside bc he didn't want to deal with damage inside the house

#x #i haven't talked to this dude or his dad in a rly long time #they both have always had violent tendencies #dude's dad physically assaulted an old man we used to play football with #& almost killed him by accident #& as kids this “friend” of mine got into fights with me over nothing all the time #ig it toughened me up a bit bc it taught me i could handle my own in fights #but i wish i had learned that thru other circumstances than my then best friend turning on me whenever some arbitrary switch #flipped in his head #guess I'm reliving those memories now #better this than dreaming of my former partner ig #maybe i should make a tag for these bc I'm bound to have another prophetic dream & i want proof #plus my normal dreams are wild af & kind of entertaining so #dream journal #this will do for now

[acrazybayernfan]

what the team needs right now are basics. team spirit, fight, defending together... and julian is not the guy for that. don't know why they thought he would be, he didn't succeed at bayern either

I think exactly the same. Julian could be a great coach but he is not the man of the situation. If we had more time and if he had more time to work with the players and create something sophisticated, yes he would be perfect but it's an emergency situation. In the game against France we kept it basic, very basic but it was interesting. I don't know what's going on between the players but a few victories and having players who know what they respectively have to do will probably help the team building on and off the pitch

#maybe we should just try to go back to being the good old germany #not always playing the best football but always very hard to beat because we'll play as a team and play with all our heart #that's very interesting how 2010 and 2014 were a moment of balance between the old german way and the new german way #and how we have slowly lost this balance #germany nt #thank you for the ask dear anon <333 #better days will come for sure

Not me tearing up in the doctors office watching womens sports on live free to air normal tv

#i thought it would be harder to watch!!!! #although the adidas campaign of play until they cant look away seems like they are trying to get me to hulk out #also are we worried about female footballers starting to sook it up and take dives like the men do just for the drama of telly? #or are they going to be the tough no nonsense players they always have been??? #the irish are Physical they'll get all up in there #also theres a male commentator i think he should be banned

I always knew we might lose, I didn’t imagine we’d lose quite like obviously. We are still 1 point off the top, so that is amazing.

Onwards and upwards from here.
