Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 30, 2019

Trying to deafen the referee, Andy, when when he and the lad are right there?

@Number Three Today’s strip Is funny showing a pre-emptive strike by our Hero Mr Andrew Capp against his poor opponent and trying to pass it off as an accident and then pretend he’s sorry :o) right? my avatar today is of one tiger telling the other to shut up about using too much bleach , I did not need bleach or colouring for my hair like a lot of mainly females do , it went snowy white on it’s own , only my eye brows are the original brown colour that my hair originally was, how was your day? ours should be normal I hope , it has been raining non stop all night and it has not stopped yet so we are staying in as I hate driving in the rain , I like your new avatar take care pal and welcome back.

The umpire strikes back?

“I’m the best striker in our league.

I’m also a pretty good footballer!"

Andy’s lucky. Because the match hasn’t officially started, the referee, technically, has no say … however, had this happened at the half-time or even after the match was over but going into extra time then the referee could eject Andy for striking.

I had this happen in a tournament match that I was officiating. The match was tied at the end of regular time and was going into overtime. The players were waiting to start the overtime period when a player from one team struck a player from the opposing team. I immediately ejected him, even as he tried to argue that the game was over and I hadn’t started the extra-time.

Needless to say, he lost that argument and his team lost the match because they were a man down because of his actions.

A preemptive strike.

if someone from the opposing team deliberately hit one of our players it would of clear the bench. andy would definately be in the hurt.

@Linguist.

“I think l’d like to have a drink with that guy.”

not much flopping going on in Andy’s league.

Accidents will happen. (Though they seem to happen a lot with Andy around.)

They are afraid they will get in trouble for being too rough on such an old bloke.

You’re only sorry that you got told off.

@Afficionado

I’ve had my hair “partially” dyed and that was when I got blonde highlights in. I love my natural hair colour and don’t really want to fully dye it.

My day was good. I hope yours was as well.
