Touchline shouting, that’s all I ever hear,

I’m so confused and filled with fear.

 

I’m only 10 years old and football should be fun,

But with all this noise, I don’t know which way to run.

 

“Get back in defence!” my manager shouts,

Dad shouts “Get up front and deal with these louts!”

 

Loud mouth supporter who know all the rules,

(He takes the rest of us for fools)

 

Shouts “What are you doing lad? Your head’s in a spin!”

Is it any surprise with all this din!

 

I am only a boy, so why do you try to destroy,

what I’d love to enjoy!

 

FOOTBALL SHOULD BE FUN
