Went to the football last night, it was Round 2 of the (formerly League) Capital One Cup. Stevenage got a home draw against Premier League Southampton. I didn't expect us to win and we didn't but I have to say the final score of Stevenage 1 Southampton 4 really didn't do us justice. In the first half they played their socks off and really took the game to Southampton. Then in the second half, they had a dozy five minutes and gave away a goal.
The second goal was a complete travesty - the ref ruled a miss-kick by Mark Roberts was a back pass and gave an indirect free kick to Southampton inside the penalty area. They took it so fast, Stevenage were in disarray and their striker had a free shot on goal. 2-0. That upset Stevenage so much that they gave away another goal 2 minutes later *facepalms* We got one consolation goal back but then they scored a 30 yard screamer that was so good, even us Stevenage fans applauded. Still don't think the scoreline was a fair reflection of the game. Ah well. No disgrace in losing to a team two divisions above you.
Next match is on Saturday and I'll get to use the next ticket in my shiny, shiny season ticket book :D
In other news, Rob T Furball is off to the vets tomorrow night for a check up on his thyroid meds. I have to say, I think we've got the balance right but I hope Zoe the Vet will take blood and make sure. He's currently not speaking to me, I mean he's having a truly remarkable strop. It's lasted 2 days now. It started when I was dozing in front of the computer and he tried one of his "stealth" flying leaps up for fuss and attention. He missed the sofa and landed on me. There was yelling and owing and he panicked, flung himself off the sofa and right into the computer case. Must have hurt, poor thing. No damage but he hasn't come near me since. So I figured I'd make the vet's appointment and truly earn his displeasure :p
Treated myself to "The Complete Series of Two Fat Ladies" box set which arrived yesterday. Oh it's fab, I do so miss that show. Although I can't watch it without getting hungry! Also been having a re-watch of the Joan Hickson Miss Marple series. Blissful. Really were some of the best adaptations of the series ever committed to TV. I think Julia McKenzie is doing a good job in the current production but the Hickson series were superbly cast, well written, with excellent direction. Just a joy to watch :)
