I see young Franco has entered football management and he's already thinking this football management stuff is going to be a breeze...well his words were a piece of p... Well this got me thinking, there must some fantastic tales out there in the BCFA world of absolute corkers of excuses for not showing up, being late or a complete no show. So let's have them, post them up and let's all have a good laugh ahead of the coming season. I'll be back with a few later...

I'm having Dinner with my Nan. I have work this afternoon and don't want to be tired. My brother drove off without me. I walked home at 4 in the morning, got back at 7.30 and forgot to let my lift know; I wasn't staying at my mates house anymore. I've got to see the Mrs. I'm on tour in Japan. To name a few. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.

Right here we go... Being late. Away game at Failand. 09:10 phone call "my sat nav has broken, I'm on the Suspension Bridge, where's the ground?". 09:25 "right I'm now under the Suspension Bridge, where's the ground?" 09:45 "Ok so I'm now on Coronation Road coming towards Temple Meads, where's the ground?" Go figure!! Not available. "Sorry gaffer can't play this weekend, got to take the rabbit to the vet"! No show. "Was there a game today?" "yes you phoned me at 9pm last night and said you wanted to play", "did I?" Not available. "Sorry I can't play tomorrow, I'm modelling for a photo shoot"! Some learn the hard way and he certainly did. Merciless? Too right we were! I mean come on, say you're working, say you've visiting family, or if you really want to say something embarassing say "I'm going to watch the C**y"!! Being very late. "Sorry I'm late, dad got arrested for beating up the postie"! Seems an altercation allegedly ensued on discovering a Royal Mail van blocking the road en route to the game. Son ended up walking the last few miles and arrived during the second half! I know there's a serious side to this, but I was in tears laughing, thought I had heard it all!

I'm sure I've had a few good excuses for being unavailable over the years, but I can't remember them at the moment. I'm sure Kirby had a pretty lame one once. As for being late (or almost late), I do recall one time when a player I shalln't name for legal reasons turned up with about 10 minutes to spare before kick off. Turned out he'd been stopped by the police on the way over his driving, and had been given a producer as a result, meaning he had to show his licence, MOT certificate and Insurance Certificate at a station in the next week. The big problem with that was that his car's MOT had just expired, and he hadn't booked the new test yet. He managed to get a test done on the Thursday or Friday, but they picked up that his cert wasn't valid for when he got stopped when he took it in to the station. Not sure what happened after that, but I think he escaped without a fine or custodial sentence. Only BCFA team to beat BSXI 4 times since 12th December 2009.....

Franco's been on Facebook. ".... This football management business is a piece of p***!!!! Bring on the season..... NOW!!!!" I think Tytherington Res have won a pre season friendly and Franco is feeling epic!

Got another... No show. "Sorry I didn't turn up, my boots and shin pads were in my locker at the school I don't go to any longer!" Tell you what the early days at BS4 were a real eye opener! (although they thought it was all "sick". Learnt a whole new Urban language too...safe!)
