As a postscript to my last entry, I would like to add that the movie "Goal" is on You Tube. I sat and watched the first 45 minutes of it yesterday and if you are a football fan and just want to see the games, or highlights of the games, then you will be disappointed.

"Goal" is very much a creature of its time, combining an edgy sixties tone with endless cameras shots and angles (way too many close-ups) topped off with an enigmatic and minimalist commentary. I haven't re-watched the second half (boom, boom) but I can guess it's more of the same, an arthouse approach that seeks to recreate the ambience of the 66 World Cup, rather at the expense of the action on the field. Still, it is worth a look and is in hindsight, quite amusing.

On the lockdown front there is little to report, but the potential for restrictions is now beginning to stretch into the medium term, as it were. Not much to be done but take the medicine and have a good lie down. In the press, there are recriminations about the rich and famous getting away with things that us poor plebs cannot. It is probably so, and has often been thus, though to quote Bowie,

"Fame - puts you there where things are hollow."

So perhaps, we should just pity them.
