'Now you see here, ship-mate'
Said a geezer who'd come rather late
'Me,I don't clock it at all,
It don't stand to reason,
This time in the season,
For our lads to be beat in a brawl'
'No, no, we was robbed -that pass!
That was a pen. or I'll eat my arse!
(Same again all round, love)'
'Have a butch at that
That piece of stuff sat
With the chandelier hanging above'
Author notes

Clock= understand

The intelligent conversation in the pub after things have gone badly for their team.

Is there some significance in her sitting below a chandelier? Other than the chance it might fall on her perhaps.
I don't clock football never watch it don't watch Rugby either but like the players legs ..

Be better for you to be able to examine your rugby-palayers' legs like young oaks, if you were able to see them, under a light, for example, say a chandelier......

Love the rhyming slang but should it be butchers, as in hook-look. (far be it for me to tell the pope he is a catholic) so I leave it there. I did enjoy this and Geezer brought couple of comic old men to mind, whose names I forgot.
The footy has so much to offer here and you do it all so well.

When I was a bus-conductor, my driver addressed me thus:" 'Ave a butch up the old apples, me old old China". Apples and pears= stairs, china plate= mate, and yes some people say butcher's. I am tempted to return to this sometime, it is a rich vein.
Glad you liked it and thanks for commenting, and applause.

Thanks, and glad you had a smile.
I originally was going to do mountains of rhyming slang (I may yet!) and stick the the football, but then reality dawned: how often do men's minds stay on the same subject for more than a few minutes, when there is the important matter of drink to be dealt with, and a bar-maid, and the bar-maid reminds you of that whole women bit, and wow! what's that over there! Of course, talk would have returned to the main matter, after their brains had settled!
