The Field of Mild Aspirations

Last Monday night game of football of the year at Meadowbank. Unfortunately not a great game - oddly numbered sides and the other lot made the most of their extra man, leaving us chasing shadows for forty minutes. At which point someone swapped sides and we fared a little better. At least we scored a couple before the end so it wasn't the dreaded 'granny'. Not completely sure of the derivation of the term, but I think it's often used to describe failing to score a single goal/point.
