It’s the MBFives Awards Night tonight so I have spent quite a bit of time today preparing the “script” for the “ceremony”.
All players are invited to nominate (which is actually to vote for) any other player across a range of, mainly negative, awards, such as “Worst Goalkeeping Gaffe”, “Most Likely To Shoot And Hit The Roof” and “Most Likely To Put You In Hospital”.
Every comment made for each category, during the e-mail voting process, is read out on the night, after which the winner is announced, a round of applause and/or cheer is sounded and another drink is downed.
The hard part is the cutting and pasting of up to ten comments in each of the twenty or so categories and the formatting of them into a document that is easily read by the drunkest of would be footballers.
Last awards night was toward the end of 2003 and, after the ceremony, there was Karaoke. My nephew, Craig Fowler, who it has to be said, although he did win “Player of the Year”, is not the greatest player the world has ever seen, but does have his moments (I suppose like the majority of the players in the MBFives Squad of around 35 to 40). He did a couple of cracking versions of Eminem’s more well known tomes, whilst I regaled the assembly with the Sex Pistols’ "Pretty Vacant".
I bought a CD today, another classical disc, Piano Sonatas by Janacek. I won’t get a chance to listen till tomorrow though…that is if I’m in any state to do anything.
