Nice one FD.
The thought of Andrew Demitriou’s underpants bursting into flames is
*almost* enough to drag me into the Etihad to watch.
I may loathe football but even moi has seen Andrew Demitriou on TV and what a money-grubbing bone-headed, arrogant, bought and paid for lout he is. His underpants on fire is funny but someone should have stuffed gun-powder into them before lighting them.
I think I’ll stop reading First Dog until the football season is over. Because where everyone else can laugh I merely see reflected my despair about the fu-kwittedness of an entire nation.
Off to the left and he kicks the ball forward but it goes short and he’s in trouble but wait that’s a mark and coming down its a long kick to the goal square — -ahh yes FD its more than a game. We’re with you.
