Scottish Court Hearing - Could be a true story.........

Scottish Court Hearing

A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the England Football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

I first heard that joke in 1962. It was about the New York Mets.

So, d'ya think we'll win the 22 World Series Cup?

Mention of the 62 Mets reminds me of an afternoon in the mid 90s (God knows who we were playing, Hartlepool or somebody, I guess. It wasn't crowded.) when somebody posed the Casey Stengel question, "Have we got anybody who can actually play this game?" I don't think Morgs was playing, so it came down to maybe Duncan Jupp and an outside chance for Paul Brooker, there weren't many other candidates.
When things seem as bad as they are now it's good to remember those days.
