Nicely swollen ankle after rolling it today, getting studs caught in 3G 'turf' trying to

...make a tackle on an overlapping fullback. I'd been running the line as an emergency sub, only to be used to cover injuries or if we were short. But our resident dickhead got himself sent off for threatening the ref following a free kick awarded to us (!), so a man down and with players dropping like flies in the heat struggling to cope with the size of the pitch compared to our normal high school grass pitch, meant I had to be involved for most of the second half in a defence overrun by the league leaders. Fuck's sake. We were in the game too at only one nil down at halftime before the sending off.

Picked up a mystery ankle injury the evening before my only other half marathon and thankfully was alright on race day, so hopefully I'll come through tomorrow ok too... But next time it's a flat 'no' to matchday availability pre-race, no chances taken to do any favours...
