Western Springs AFC, wild spectators behind the goals.
There were wild scenes behind one of the goals at WSAFC Seddon Fields on Meola road.
The ground is in immaculate condition as always, Paul Rutland sees to that. I have very fond memories of playing with Galactacos here a few years back. Due to an unfortunate incident when I tripped and fell about 20 yards to the left of this picture,and dislocated an elbow, I had to stop playing. I was crap anyway.
I had issues with the kit. The green and white hoops caused an allergic response when it came in contact with my skin. if I wore my Glasgow Rangers top beneath, it was fine.
Football experts can be found analysing play in the club rooms during and after the match. Most of the commentary directed at players and officials is utter crap.
A large crowd of spectators waving in the wind behind the goal. They are of the Wild Iris variety as opposed to the wild nutbar bunch on view in the clubrooms on match day.
I sneaked one home to have a closer look.
The field marking are immaculate.
Pollinators make a beeline for two goals coming in from the left wing and the right wing. The hairy bits mark the actual goals,or stigma, if the club has signed a biologist.
The curled back purple bits are a kind of floral crossbar and another goal can be achieved by brushing the unsderside of it. Anthers are the target beneath.
Bees coming in from the left or right wings can score a golden hatrick.
Goal one, land on the hairy bit and leave pollen behind.
Goal two, brush against the anther beneath and pick up some pollen. (The white arrow shaped thing).
Goal three, carry pollen from this flower and repeat steps one and two on another flower.
Hairy stigma with pollen grains that have been dropped off. I apologise to Western Springs AFC for nicking this flower.
Bees ball bag. Pollen grains are brought into play when they are picked up by a passing bee. An anther with heaps of spare pollen grains.
