Timewasting

Updated: Jan 5, 2024

drying the ball

tying your lace

pretending to fall

lying to his face


a last minute sub

a cramp in the thigh

the keeper slows up

a fly in his eye


the corner flag tango

just turning the screw

all part of the panto

the minutes accrue


are you just wasting time

or still trying to win

can you still play for fun

or have you given in


in the final throes

are you ready to go

cause nobody knows

when the whistle will blow

I hate the new ‘game management’ approach that normalises timewasting in football but the question arises - are we timewasting our lives away or still trying to win the game?
