"The ball rolled languidly, taking comfort in the inevitability of it's entrapment at the foot of Stockdale. Like a traveler returning home, all was well in the world.
But alas! Even as the ball slowly moved to the final, predestined resting spot, the boot was lifted, like a rug being pulled from beneath the complacent expectations of the ball.
There was barely time to scream at the betrayal. With nary a backward glance, the ball somersaulted towards the goal, with no-one left to lend a helping hand or foot. As darkness closed in, the ball saw the net expanding in it's horizon. Instead of the trap of a foot, it would be bound and captive in that horrific web..."

@micra don't worry I assumed it was post posting delay causing confusion. @glasshalffull wasn't in me garden either.
Just watched the own goal again as I missed it live...'evaded David Stockdale' is indeed a very forgiving description.
Isn't it just. If anything, that ball did everything it could to not evade David Stockdale.
I have a better description.

No led sponsor boards @chairboyscentral
Where'd you hear that?
Did I catch in GA's Hammers Reaction clip (at 1:20ish), that we're playing Villa tomorrow?
Im sure you said you were genuinely excited about the new led sponsor boards going in? I may be going mad if you didn't?♂️
@bigred87 Sadly I really did say that - but I haven't heard anything since Pete Couhig mentioned on Wycombe Sound that we were having them?
Yeah, 'practice match' at their training ground, so no stream
@chairboyscentral new floodlights went in today, maybe the hoardings will happen
@bigred87 I think they're part of the package with the WiFi upgrade and whatnot - might need them with all this extra TV coverage anyway!
Thank's @chairboyscentral, all higher level games are helpful to the squad at this stage.
