Brammie Steve Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The Final Five By Steve Brummie My football team, The "Batt'rin" Rams In years of glory past, Would go at speed, create a lead, And Keep it to the Last. Wow, Willie Carlin, in attack, Would make for Pop side left He'd keep the ball against the flag. Defenders were bereft. An Alan Hinton kick or two Had floated in the box Where Kevin. Johno, of big Mag, Could score in just their socks. That final five, so Cloughie said, Would win or lose a game, You never won a football match, If others scored the same. Amount of goals or even more No matter where you play At least one more you've got to score Than them, home or away! A game's not over till it's done A lead's not worth a thistle Unless you keep it to the end You know, the final whistle. Dick Wagner wrote of Nibelung Of cycles and of rings, It's no good getting on your bike Before fat lady sings! It's like it when the "battrin" rams Create a lead you see But in the final quarter hour Pack up and have their tea. This seems to happen every year And we, as fans feel shattered, When we watch good leads disappear And watch the Rams get battered! Now Nigel, youre a lovely lad And clearly lion hearted But learn the lesson from your dad And finish what you've started. A game is ninety minutes long Two halves which both are equal That's forty five times two you know Not forty in the sequel! That final five, daft as it seems May sometimes stretch to twenty What with delays, and injuries, To lose, or to score plenty. So play that game lads, play it well Don't leave the fans a'cryin' Don't lose it in the final five Steve's watching you, so's Brian! Anyone feel the same?
