Surely in the real game you are allowed to repeat 'a' and 'the'?


Yes, that's right. But this is Fantasy Just A Minute and there is more time for thinking about what to say when you write. Now, stop arguing with the ref!

Hey, I'm a trained football ref, so I'll ref anything. I'll give out a red card if you annoy me, a yellow as a warning for repeating yourself and I'll blow my whistle a lot.

Will you fly over for two home games my twins' Under 12's team have got 21st & 28th March? I'm acting manager and will have to ref it otherwise... (we offer £18 to expenses)...

I wish. 18 pounds won't cut it.

I'd love to come to the country that houses Premier League. I'm going to p%ss off all you Liverpool fans and say: GO MAN U! (Anyway Liverpool at the moment must be p%ss%ng off their own fans with their results:lol.

World Cup coming up soon. Sorry England, but I'm supporting New Zealand first, Croatia second, and Brazil third (These guys got to learn to share). You guys can come fourth as a consolation prize.

Kiwis gotta beat the Aussies next month.

Getting better. A bit short this time. Repetition of 'have' and 'will' and 'twenty' (21st & 28th). Not sure if having twins counts as repetition. Does the acting manager teach the players how to take a dive and roll about as if in great pain, even though it was only a little tap?

No, he is from the Corporal Jones' school of "they don't like it up 'em", so probably the other end of the spectrum

Oh, crap! I didn't know that. You miss a few games, and that happens. Well, I suppose England can come third then.

At least the good old Kiwis beat Bahrain to get into the World Cup. I definitely saw that game. It was great! You should have seen our goalie (My favourite position) save a penalty. He saved the Kiwis' necks.

I used to work with Neil Mackay whose brother played in the team the last time New Zealand played in the World Cup finals and lost to Scotland 5-2. There's supposed to be a really good book on that campaign for the Kiwis and how badly the team was run, but I've never read it.
