Well, what do you know? The live match I saw on Tuesday night has made it to Getty Images!!! The very, very local hooks up to the very, very global!

Which means that I managed to find my West Ham cutie!

This is he: Ryan O'Neil ) omg, I have just googled him and found out that this was his first senior appearance and that he is sixteen. This is getting too cradle-snatchey; this is asymptotically approaching Harry Potter fandom!! Sixteen! My son is 16 in 3 1/2 years!! 16 is 5 years younger than Cristiano Ronaldo! Oooh... I can feel a sentence coming on, along the line of 'When Ryan was on holiday in Madeira...'

*runs away and makes icon anyway*

After the fabulous fun I had at the match I attended on Tuesday, I have been urging people to go and see football live in comments. So, as part of my mission to convert everyone to the joys of live football, the delights of manly flesh in the flesh, the awesomeness that is rps (these people are real, omg liek @-@), and the benefits of cheap and available ticket for one's local side: I am calling upon everyone to post a few pics of
your local football club!!!!!!.


Pick a club! Let it be local, so that you may buy tickets and drool in person! And revel in the rubbishness that may well be your local team -- let not the lack of premiership kudos put you off: teh pretty can be found anywhere and everywhere, and who knows? The obscure pretty of today may well become the global pretty of tomorrow -- and then you can say: I was there from the start!

So, pick a club! And to start the glorious silliness, I give you pics of Cambridge United )

And look! It's my cradle-robbed West Ham cutie!! *is in icon cesspit of insanity*

(This is so stalkerishly rps it's creepy. I saw this guy the other night. I am morphing into Harry Figwit who should really be called Mary Figwit. Harry Marry, hoho.)

Post your pics here or in your own journal! But do put a link in here to your own journal! So we can all get to know each other geographically and wallow in the global localness that is LJ. :-)

Note: Non-footballing Flist Fliends: Please do join in! *cackles temptingly*

Title: Knowing better
Author: Lobelia; [livejournal.com profile] lobelia321
Fandom: Football
Pairing: Richard Hanlon (Cambridge United) / Ryan O'Neil (West Ham United)
Category: Very obscure and rare rps pairing. It was only a matter of time. I can never resist the rare and the weird for long. And how much stronger is its pull when the r & w struts its stuff live before my very eyes!
Canon: Cambridge Utd vs West Ham, 1 August 2006. I was at this match. Rps has taken on frightening and absurd proportions.
Disclaimer: This is not true. I do not know these people. The events recounted herein, while based on a factual context, are entirely fanciful. This is amateur fiction. No money is being made.
Pics: If you don't know these players (and I can't imagine that you wouldn't...), pics included at the end of the ficlet! ;-)
