So, how's single life treating you?

Yeah, good. I'm really into knitting now.

Well, I will be once I've bought all the stuff.

- You? - I…

I love it. Yeah, I…

I walked around the park all weekend with my headphones in.

Just read for hours.

I'm not sure listening to historical sapphic fiction

on 1.5 is technically reading, but okay.

I'm consuming media, Margy.

Are we really gonna do this again?

I…

Oh, my God, is that Ted?

He's eating a hot dog all alone.

That is so flipping sad.

Hot dogs are strictly a social food.

He probably has to wear his napkin tucked into his shirt like that

'cause he's got no one to tell him he's spilled mustard on himself.

That is not just a napkin.

That is a cry for help.

It's heartbreaking, innit?

Devastating.

- We have to take a photo. - Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, this is going in the team chat.

God.

I don't wanna die alone.

- Should we get back together? - I was just thinking that.

Thank God.

I'm so glad you said yes.

- I love you. - Love you.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's my time.

It's our time.

Wow, you made that.

It's so…

- Important, yeah? - So important.

- Definitely important. - 'Cause it is important.

We're playing our first match at Nelson Road.

I think this video will really help drive awareness and ticket sales.

I mean, a women's team selling out

a Premier League stadium in their first year.

- You understand how amazing this is? - It's so amazing.

- And important. - Yeah.

Anything else to discuss?

Yes, I was gonna say that--

- Sorry, one last thing… - Yep.

…the £10 tickets, they were definitely the way to go.

Absolutely.

And Zelda very generously bought another 2,000 tickets.

- Wow. - I've just donated them

- to the local schools. - Wonderful.

Sorry, Leslie.

Yes, I was going to say that--

Sorry, don't forget…

…you are presenting a check to your foundation at halftime, yeah?

Right, thank you, and I'll have a speech prepared.

Perfect. Sorry, Leslie, what were you saying?

That's okay.

- Yeah, as I was saying-- - Oh, God. Sorry, Leslie.

I've just remembered.

I need two tickets because Matthijs and Jelka will be in town.

Fantastic. Are you sure he doesn't want to pay?

They're only £10.

I think I'll cover that for him.

This is really happening, guys.

- I'm very excited. - I'm gonna go call Barbara.

I will keep you posted if anything changes.

Leslie, I am so sorry. What did you want to discuss?

Yeah, are we…

No…

The man, no…

If we…

It's completely gone.

So it can't have been that important.

No.

S-H-A-N-N-O-N.

Okay.

Yeah. There we go.

Our provisional squad for this Saturday.

Going against Chelsea ain't gonna be no easy breezy walk in the park.

It's actually gonna be an exhausting 90-minute run around the pitch.

- But we got to give it a shot, yeah? - We can't beat Chelsea.

- We're not good enough. - Come on, Coach.

- How about a little positivity? - Oh, yeah. No, sorry, you're right.

- They're too good. - Thank you.

What would you want to do differently, Coach?

Well, for a start, I'd take Shannon off there and leave her on the practice squad.

- She's not ready. - Fair point.

Hey, you know what, that reminds me.

Henry told me this, "The more you take, the more you leave behind." What am I?

- What're you doing? - Say it again.

"The more you take, the more you leave behind." What am I?

- Please stop. - I'm not gonna stop,

but I will pause.

All right, big game this weekend.

- Gaffer. - Yep.

Can we ask you a couple of questions?

Like one of them online quizzes?

'Cause if so, I consistently come up as Princess Jasmine for some reason.

Ted, are you married?

- I'm sorry, what? - Do you always eat alone?

Are you seeing someone?

Are you lonely or just homesick or both?

- It's nothing to feel bad about. - It's all right if you are.

What is going on right now?

We saw you.

Yeah.

Do you always wear those trousers?

- Never any jeans? - I…

You're like Bart Simpson, always wearing the same shorts.

Yeah, but at least I don't eat mine, right?

Do you think Bart eats his own shorts?

Good point. I guess he famously encourages other people to eat his shorts.

- You know? Okay? - Yeah, he does.

Hey. Look, the real question is what we gotta do this weekend to beat Chelsea?

Yeah? And the answer is out on that practice pitch.

So let's go!

Okay? Okay, here we go, here we go. All right, yeah.

That was interesting.

- Dumps. - I'm sorry?

"The more you take, the more you leave behind." My answer is dumps.

I'll allow it, but I was actually looking for footsteps.

That was a joke.

I mean, it was more of a riddle, but I can see

how Coach's scatological take might provide some levity

if you like potty humor.

- Which I do do. - No, not that. That. That.

Whatever that was in there. Them asking you about your dating life.

I mean, what?

Number one, it's inappropriate, and number two, who cares?

Number two.

Well, I mean, it did catch me off guard a little bit, but I don't mind it.

You're probably sensitive to it 'cause it happens to you all the time, yeah?

No, they have never asked me anything, which I am glad about.

Because, actually, what they should be doing is,

they should be asking themselves why they can't get their shit together

before the biggest fucking game of their careers.

That's what they should be asking themselves,

if they're gonna ask themselves anything.

If you ask me.

Which you're not.

Because no one asks me anything.

And that's fine.

It's fine.

No, it's fine. I don't even…

I don't even care. It doesn't even matter.

It is fine.

Oi.

Did you say oi or Roy?

Why does that matter?

Seems like you respond to either.

Yeah. Well, I guess I do.

Yeah.

Sorry I can't be here on Saturday.

I've got to be up in Newcastle

with the meaningless secondary fuck-all who-gives-a-shit men's team.

- It's okay. - But you will be in my thoughts.

Me or the team?

What does that matter? Seems like you respond to either one.

Oi, Roy.

Just out of curiosity, what date are you at?

Nine.

Interesting.

Fuck.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hello. - Hey, Rebecca.

Do you have any of those crisps you had last time I came?

Of course I do. I've got them in especially.

- Thank you. - With the other treats next to the…

No, do!

Stay wild, young woman! Don't let them tame you!

Do you think I'll ever get over this uniform?

Is that why you became a pilot?

No, I became a pilot for the plane food.

I missed you.

And I've missed you.

I actually wanted to talk to you about that.

Yes?

I got a job working for Virgin Atlantic.

I'm moving to London.

What?

Wow.

What about Jelka?

They wouldn't hire her.

She's only ten.

No. I told her mom about the job

and she applied for a position at her company's London branch.

So I can be with Jelka and you.

That's amazing. God.

Hey, Coach. Does Alice seem a little more, spring-loaded than usual to you this week?

Well, I think playing at Nelson Road will do that to you.

- It must be contagious then, huh? - How's that?

Well, I'm pretty sure that must be why the team

was grilling me about eating a hot dog. Yeah?

No. I think they just want to know more about you.

Oi, Beard.

Saw Jane's one-woman show last night.

All three of us did. Bloody hell…

- What a performance. - Yeah.

I haven't cried like that since my dad left me and my mum

and then came back again. Fucking prick.

I only stopped crying about it as we started walking over here to you.

Yeah, I hear it's a great show.

What, haven't you seen it?

I didn't know you fellas were such big fans of the theater.

No, we're not.

Theater's shite.

Yeah, if I wanna hear someone shout and scream for two hours, go round my mum's.

Fucking prick.

We're just big fans of Beard.

Even after seeing the show.

I gotta go see that show.

- You sure that's a good idea, Coach? - No.

You want to come with me?

Whose car are we gonna take?

- We don't drive. - No, it's from The Town.

- What town? - The movie.

What movie?

I'm just glad they're not button fly because that can be

tough to manipulate when your hands are cold.

What is happening?

The gals all chipped in and bought me a brand new pair of blue jeans.

They even got my size right.

My first job was at Levi's, so I can guess anyone's size from a hundred meters.

That's a good party trick.

- Except for our cousin Finley, now. - 'Cause he's a liar.

- I know a 30 by 30 when I see one. - Yeah, okay, well…

This many people in here is actually a fire hazard, so,

you know… We could all die…

if there was a fire.

Yeah, you know, Coach has got a real good point.

So, we'll see you all out on the pitch, huh?

And thank you for these. I really appreciate it.

We still have the receipt if you want to get a darker wash or anything.

No, it goes with his skin tone. It's fine.

Yeah, how about that?

Pretty darn thoughtful.

I haven't seen you wear jeans since we went to that Cake concert at Bottleneck.

That's right.

I remember we both bought vibraslaps after seeing that show.

What you gotta do now is you gotta get a jean jacket.

What do they call that? A Canadian tuxedo?

Yeah, except in Canada, where they just call it a tuxedo.

Man, we're gonna be nipping at Chelsea's heels like a little puppy dog.

Little puppy underdog.

Shannon!

You had Gemma on your left, or if you'd have gone right,

you would have had a shot. Instead, you did nothing.

All right, stop playing like you know you don't belong on this team.

Oi, Alice, back the fuck off.

- What did you say? - Gem, just leave it.

- Leave it. - No, you heard me.

Leave her alone.

Here, Shannon, I'll make a decision for you.

Go run five laps.

No, you don't have to do that.

- Do you want to join her? - You're a hard man, aren't you?

Both of you, ten laps.

No, fuck that.

Everyone, 15 laps.

Off you go.

Bitch.

Gem, Gem, come on.

Hey, Coach, you know how to barbecue?

- No. - It's great.

Yeah, I don't mean just tossing a burger on a grill.

I mean real barbecue, you know?

Low and slow, lots of smoke.

Kind of cooking that makes your neighbor poke his head over the fence.

See, when I first started learning, I was always in a rush.

Just lifting that lid, poking the meat, jacking that heat all the way up

because I was impatient and hungry.

Well, you know what happens?

The meat gets all tough.

I'd end up cooking all the tenderness right out of it.

I kind of find that people are the same way.

You know, you poke them and prod them every five minutes,

they can get a little chewy.

But if you trust the process, keep the temperature nice and steady,

add a little spice when necessary and a little sauce to keep it sweet.

Well, you got a good shot of ending up with something you're gonna be proud of.

I'll bear that in mind.

Yeah.

Boy, I just got real hungry.

- Someone's in a good mood. - Not really.

No, I just had that song stuck in my head all day.

I'm a little concerned it's the precursor to a full psychotic breakdown,

but maybe it's just a catchy tune.

- Here you go. - Oh, thank God.

- These might help. - Uh-oh, someone's stressed out.

Come on, start sharing, Cheech Marin.

Ted, Matthijs is moving to London.

Hey, well, I'll be Amster-darned.

- That's great. - Yeah, it's…

it's great.

I'm catching some real opposite day vibes from that response right there.

- No, no. It is great. - Great.

- Right? - I think so.

- I don't know. - Me neither.

I mean, this long distance thing has been great for us for so long.

I have been microdosing our relationship.

Now, I'm just gonna be going the full trip.

Like puking in a bucket in Peru like…

- Ya know? - Yeah…

I never would have pegged you as someone to use a drug metaphor.

- Ted, I'm dating a man from Amsterdam. - That's a fair point.

But I don't get it. I mean, what's wrong, Tommy Chong?

I don't know. What if he starts hating me?

What if I start fucking hating him?

You know, what if this all goes for shit?

I just don't think I can go through that again.

I hear that.

But I do think a lot of your concerns are rooted in the past, you know.

And there's a reason that the rearview mirror is smaller than the windshield.

This helps.

Well, yeah.

I mean, who needs drugs when you got friendship?

- Butter. Yeah. - Yeah, butter. Yeah.

That's right.

Hey.

Hi.

Good luck with the match on Saturday.

Thanks. You too.

Maybe you could try and go on date ten when you're up there.

'Cause then, when you're back, you'll be done with all of that.

Then who knows?

I went on date ten last night.

Did you now?

I've been wanting to tell you

the last couple of dates been with the same woman.

Oh, yeah?

Well, the last few.

How few?

Dates six to ten.

Wow, that's great.

Right.

Shit, forgot my keys.

I…

Silly me.

Slay the match this weekend.

I don't like how new jeans tell you how to sit versus the other way around.

Sorry about that.

Order. Order in court.

Jane Payne.

You stand trial for pretending to be pregnant

in order to manipulate your partner, Beard, into marrying you.

How do you plead?

Not not guilty, bitch.

One more time.

- Hey. - Hi.

Okay, I'll be back late.

You two, be good, please.

And remember, no sugars before bedtime.

Gives you nightmares. Same goes for you, Jelka.

Aye, aye, Captain.

- Who's ready for some nightmares? - Me!

Me too!

- Jane? - Yes?

I'm your lover, your only friend,

mother and father, your accountant and your master.

Beard.

You're everything. I'll do anything for you.

Anything.

Hey, y'all, I'm gonna take Coach Beard to Kansas City to eat some barbecue.

Hey, that sounds like me.

But before I go, Jane,

I wanna fuck you.

That don't.

Sorry.

They all wanted to fuck me.

Was the baby real?

To my husband, to my family, to God and his rivals, it was not.

For I had fooled them all.

But to me, the lie was the only thing that was real.

All right, we should probably get outta here.

I have to go see her.

- No… 'Kay. - Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse Me.

- Sorry about earlier. Excuse me. - Big strawberry.

Brain freeze.

Quick, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

Wow, you're like a doctor.

Actually, let me just check.

Oh, my goodness.

Yes, and I diagnose that you

definitely need another 200 milligrams of strawberry ice cream.

Swapsies.

So…

How are you feeling about this move to London?

I feel happy, I think.

Yeah, happy for my mum's big job.

That's good.

But you know your mum's moving to London for your dad's big job.

No, that's wrong.

Dad and me are moving to London for Mom.

Right. Good. That's good.

Good.

I think we're gonna need some more ice cream.

Come in.

Hello, Jane.

Hello, what's his name.

- You know goddamn well what my name is. - You're right.

And I also knew you'd come see the show, because the part of you

that's still in love with me actually hates me, and you love that.

You have to stop doing this show.

Convince me.

What you doing?

Well, you can't whistle.

- Sure, I can. Listen. - No, no, no, no, no,

no, I mean, don't whistle.

- It's bad luck. - Shoot, I'm sorry.

Superstition. I get it, yeah.

I think it's pretty neat that someone can just be

mindlessly doing something to soothe themselves,

and, depending on where they do it, it could potentially lead to chaos.

Yeah.

This has got to be a fun place to work, yeah?

Yeah, it can be.

Yeah. What do you do here?

- I am the stage manager. - I like that. Stage manager.

How'd you get into that?

You really wanna know?

Yeah. Yeah, or, I mean, I could just stand here and stare at my phone, if you prefer.

Okay. Well, I watched a production of the Scottish Play by Shakespeare

when I ten, and I spent the whole play

trying to work out how there was a balcony on the stage one minute

and then a giant banquet table the next.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on in the play.

Yeah, because you wanted to peek behind the curtain.

Yeah. Yeah.

But you never wanted to be an actor, huh?

Oh, God, no.

They're all bonkers.

I mean, obviously, they're very brave, the way they put themselves out there,

but, you know, I could never do that.

I guess I just wanted to, you know, help them with what they do best.

Yeah. Like a theater coach.

Or a stage manager.

Right, you guys have a term for that already.

- Sorry, who are you? - Yeah, I'm just waiting for my buddy.

My name's Ted. Ted Lasso.

- From the play, you and Jane. - Yeah.

Well, no, no, no, not like that.

But, I mean, you know, that was artistic license.

You know, the subjective gaze, which I fully respect, you know.

There's an emotional truth there, but not actual, no.

We've got a bad leak in the A zone.

- Yeah, I should probably go. - Yeah, yeah.

Nice jeans, by the way.

Thank you. Yeah, no. 22 young women bought them for me.

Is that 'cause I whistled?

Yeah.

You all right, bud?

The good news is Jane's agreed not to do the show anymore.

- Great. - The bad news is

it's because her producers want to take it to the West End

and have either Jennifer Lawrence or Emma Stone play her part

- and make it the biggest show in London. - So you punched a mirror.

- No, I headbutted it. - Okay.

Yeah, we should get you out of here. Come on.

- Was someone whistling out here? - Yeah, somebody.

I don't know who it was though. Have you seen Macbeth?

Okay.

- Morning. - Morning.

- Are you okay? - Yep.

All right.

I love you,

but you're gonna have to tell me what's up.

Nothing. I'm fine.

Never in the history of all of mankind

has a woman ever said she was fine when she actually was.

All right.

Look.

Obviously, you can move wherever you want.

I just feel like maybe we might have discussed it,

and we didn't.

Yes.

You're right, and I am sorry.

I assumed you'd be happy.

But I feel that there's something else going on here.

Yeah, why… Why are you really moving to London?

- What? - Just tell me the truth.

You're moving here because your ex needs to move here.

It's not the other way around. You're moving here for her job.

What are you talking about? Wha…

- Why do you think that? - Jelka told me.

Well, she's wrong. She got it mixed up. Please, she's ten.

Why were you guys even talking about this?

No, I was… I was just asking her about the move.

Well, I wish you hadn't.

You know, she's in the middle enough with me and her mom's shit.

Look, I've worked really hard to shield her from any of that.

And I don't want her to be brought into it.

Right, okay. Look, it's fine.

No, it's not fine.

Look, I wanted to move here 'cause I thought we were in a good place.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I think we should take a break.

Take some time apart to see, to feel if this is what we really want.

Both of us.

Papa!

Papa, can we make pancakes?

- Please. - I'm sorry.

Fuck.

For the first time in their brief history,

AFC Richmond Women welcome their fans to their ancestral home,

the dog track itself, Nelson Road Stadium,

for a tantalizing FA Cup match against the mighty Chelsea.

I'm Rebecca Lowe here with England legend Jill Scott.

Jill, do Richmond have any kind of chance today?

It's the eternal question, isn't it, Rebecca?

Where sport and probability join in the purest congress.

Let's call that a yes.

It's also Richmond's first ever televised match.

Kickoff is moments away.

- Right. Away then, lassies. Come on. - Come on, girls. Let's go.

Don't let the crowd intimidate you.

No one intimidates me.

Except for Cynthia Erivo maybe, but that's more of an admiration thing, ya know?

Let's give them a fucking show.

And as these athletes step onto the pitch for the first time

at a sold-out Nelson Road, let's listen to the crowd.

Don't strain your ears.

It may be sold-out, but it's also only half-full.

- It's my time. - It's my time.

It's my time.

That video is so loud with the stadium so empty.

- Maybe traffic's bad. - It's my time.

No, it was better than usual, actually, because I got here quite early.

I just tucked myself in a bathroom stall and read my book.

Actually…

Yeah, I left it. I left it in there. Just gonna…

Ten minutes in and its been all Chelsea.

They've completely shutdown Gemma Jay.

They've had 95% possession

and Richmond can't even get close enough to touch them.

Also, not close enough to touch each other,

any two members of this uncomfortably sparse crowd.

This is so embarrassing.

Matthijs and Jelka didn't even show up.

Yes, he's…

had to work. Sorry.

Hello, you lucky people.

Anyone sitting here?

No one sitting? No? Great.

Chair for my bag too. It loves it.

God, there's barely anyone here.

Come on, Keeley.

The only way forward is through,

and sometimes the best way through is to get fucked up.

Right? Yeah?

You guys go ahead, yeah? I've fucked up enough already today.

Oh, no, I'll be back. It's okay, thanks.

Oh, well.

- Come on. - Fuck it.

Little sippy dippy.

Great. Let's get wankered.

One-way traffic as the champions continue

to brush aside the FA Cup debutantes.

Grammer with the cross,

Grewal with a header, and it's 1-nil inside 15 minutes.

Chelsea are too good.

Fucking shit.

I don't get it.

There was so much support for that video online.

Now there's no one here for us.

Well, there's a big difference between tapping a screen and showing up,

isn't there?

I know what you're doing is important to you.

I mean, if it wasn't, you wouldn't be taking so much time away from KBPR.

I… I just think it can also be fun.

I mean, you… you were the one that showed me how important it is

to have… have fun too.

You're right.

Maybe I shouldn't be so focused on all of this.

No, no, you should be.

'Cause I can manage the company.

Don't worry about that.

I love being the boss.

I mean, and I love turning up to work early, sitting at my desk,

so that when everyone else comes in,

they see me and they already think they're in trouble.

I mean, I love… I love that. I really do.

You know, don't lose focus.

That's important.

I just think you can have a little more fun with your perspective.

- Thank you, Barbara. - Yeah. Okay, all right.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

I'm gonna go and finish my book

before the queue gets too long at halftime.

- Okay. - Okay.

- I'll save your seat. - Yeah.

Chelsea are doing whatever they want out there.

It's only a matter of time until…

Mullan!

And it's 2-nil.

Quinn can scream all she wants,

or she can put that energy into shopping for some goalie gloves.

This Richmond coaching staff are

about to have quite the challenging halftime.

They'll really need their heads together to get the Greyhounds out of this.

- Find that classic Lasso positivity. - So, look, here's…

- Defense. You know, there's no defense. - There's not.

I'm just gonna go get some fresh air, okay?

- Yes, yes. Sorry if we… - Don't be sorry.

I'll see you in a bit.

Okay. Yeah.

- Tough lot for that one. - How so?

Well, because she's a dreamer, isn't she? And, you know, life can be hard on them.

That's why she needs you, because you get shit done.

- Yeah, yeah. - You're a doer like me.

Well, I'd get a lot more done

if my little dreamer would listen to me occasionally.

Well, it's hard to hear reason over the trumpets of angels, you know?

But, yeah,

the world needs both, you know.

- It needs dreamers and the doers. - Yeah.

It's like the Eurythmics.

- Fucking love the Eurythmics. - I fucking love the Eurythmics.

I fucking love the Eurythmics. I was at their very first show.

- No, you weren't. - I was,

and there were more people on the stage than there were in the audience.

- There's only two of them. - I know. It was just me.

- Rebecca. - What?

Leslie.

It's halftime. Are you ready? The check for the children.

Yes, that's now.

Coming through. Coming through.

Doers play on.

Okay.

Play on, doer.

Yes, play on!

That was pathetic.

Your first televised match, and this is how you play.

Maybe you ran us too hard this week.

It's not my fault you're the ones playing like shit.

Fucking embarrassing yourselves. You're embarrassing all of us.

Hey, Coach,

you and I should have a little chat after the match today, all right?

I'm not quite sure this is a good idea.

I disagree, Leslie. I think it's a great idea.

In fact, I think it's the greatest idea that anybody has ever had.

All right. Oh, God.

Oi!

AFC Richmond is always supporting this community.

And so a big thank you to this community

for supporting AFC Richmond today.

But… But now, a message

for the greatest football supporters in the world

who are not here today.

Where are you?

Am I right?

- Yeah! Yeah, where are you? - Where are you?

Where are you? Where are you?

- Where are you? Yeah. - Where are you?

Where the fuck are you?

Yeah!

Yeah! Where are you?

Maybe we should have went to the game.

Let's be having you! Come on!

That is how you do it!

Yes, you do!

Great. Great.

Okay.

So Chelsea's playing pretty good, which ain't a shock.

We all seen the game film.

They got more highlights than a Real Housewife.

But hey, we only down two goals.

You know, last time I checked, two ain't three,

and I see y'all trying out there.

So if you ask me, y'all got nothing to be embarrassed about.

Embarrassed.

Look, I know us coaches up here can ask a lot of y'all at times.

And some of those times, you don't give us what we want.

But I also know that there are times when you ask something of us,

and we could do a lot better job communicating with you.

So I'ma start.

No, I'm not married.

I was, you know, for a while.

Shoot, I've known my ex-wife

longer than some of y'all in this room have been alive.

And her and I, we… we co-parent our son Henry,

who I know y'all have met a few times.

And every other Sunday after I drop him off at his mom's,

I make the choice to eat alone.

No, I'm not dating anyone.

I think I'm ready to, though.

I think.

And no, I would not describe myself as lonely.

Mostly because of you all, you know, and you guys.

And a bunch of folks we get to work with around here.

I'll be honest with you.

I was a little rattled when I saw that photo y'all took of me.

Because if I didn't know me, and I saw me,

well, I'd think that me was the loneliest man I'd ever seen.

You know?

Yeah.

And I was embarrassed.

Embarrassed.

An emotion so useless, it should be embarrassed of itself.

And yet, it can trap any of us.

Keep us small, scared,

till we bust out of it, you know.

It's like that quote. What is it?

"When embarrassed to remain in a tight bud…"

"A risk to remain tight in a bud."

That's it. Yeah, how does it go?

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud

was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

That's the one.

Thank you, Coach.

"When the risk to remain tight in a bud

was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

When the risk to feel embarrassed

becomes more painful than the risk it takes to try.

Well, I know which risk I'd rather take.

I need to take.

It's the same one I want for y'all, you know, in here and out there.

So I say, in the second half,

we try and get a goal.

And then, a little later, try to score another one.

And once we tie this sucker up,

we just have some fun and try to get one more.

Yeah? How's that sound?

- Yep. - Right, yeah?

- Okay. - Yep. Yep.

Okay, we got a few more minutes before we got to get back out there.

So does anybody else have any other questions for me?

Yeah. Okay.

Well, it's been the proverbial game of two halves.

Richmond have transformed and Chelsea have their hands full

against the side that has found their fight.

- Yeah, over there. - Keep going.

Here's Harrigan. To the other Harrigan.

Gemma Jay lurking like a shark.

Harrigan, she sends it in.

What a goal!

- Richmond just struck back and it's 2-1. - Hey! All right!

Gemma Jay is nothing less than a modern day Colossus.

Stay out of her Gemma way.

AFC RICHMOND - 1 CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB - 2

Since she scored her goal, Jay has been everywhere

and Chelsea just cannot solve her speed.

Well, that's one way to do it.

- Hey! - You've got to be kidding me.

Is she all right?

- You okay? - Yeah.

- You all right? - Yeah, all good.

Jay and El Sherif over the free kick here,

but everyone in this stadium knows who's taking it.

Do you want to do a Robbie or a Gary?

Who has the ball? Gemma Jay.

All eyes on Jay.

Gemma Jay. Who has the ball?

Gemma Jay.

Here she comes.

No!

And that is a stunner of an equalizer from Margy El Sherif!

This game is their hostage now.

Ten minutes left, and this game is not done with us yet.

Powell from distance!

It's another corner for Richmond!

What a turnaround, Rebecca.

I never knew greyhounds could purr.

They've been relentless, Jill.

Song to take the corner.

Davis!

Off the post!

They can't afford to squander these chances.

Chelsea on the attack.

Grammer… Drumis!

Peretti!

- Yes! - Yes! Boots!

A stunning triple safe from Boots Quinn. My word.

General rule of thumb is to trust a gloveless goalie

about as much as you trust a headless haberdasher.

But today, I'll let it slide.

Right back post!

Gemma Jay is in.

Keeper's off her line. Is this the moment?

No! It's off the bar!

Handler thumps it down the pitch.

Great control by Mullan in space.

And now, here come Chelsea again.

It's Peretti!

Oh, no!

She scores!

Chelsea have done it.

A cruel deflection puts Richmond to the sword

despite a brave and determined second half performance

that no one who witnessed will soon forget.

I think I'm gonna go see them.

Excellent.

Today has been a complete disaster.

My babe, you don't seem to realize

this is the best thing that could've happened.

I'd laugh at that, but I'm too depressed.

Well, don't you see?

Your little dreamer, Keeley, has had her wings melted.

Yeah, yeah, she's sad today. Tomorrow she'll be okay.

And most importantly, she'll be more inclined to listen to you.

You all played great, well done.

It was so close.

It was a really fantastic effort, yeah?

Hey.

I'm so sorry that the stadium's so empty. I… I fucked up.

- What're you talking about? - What?

That crowd was twice as big as our usual home games. You know that, don't you?

That is more people than we have ever played in front of, okay?

Those voices in your head, tell them to shut the fuck up, all right?

You smashed it.

Okay.

You know, Ted,

we might have a coach problem.

Don't you mean we might have a problem, Coach?

Nope.

- All right. - Later, y'all.

Bye now.

You wanted to speak to me?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm pretty sure I encouraged you to take it a little easier on the team, didn't I?

What, yeah, with the whole barbecue thing?

This game was so much bigger than that.

This was their chance to make a statement.

Well, that's one of the great things about sports. There's always another chance.

Yeah, not in my experience.

You know, Alice,

I had the privilege of working with another coach who had your fire.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice what was going on with him before…

well, before he'd been burned to a crisp.

So, in the hopes of learning from my mistakes,

I'm going to try a different approach with you.

I'm gonna suspend you for a match.

But there's only one match left and then it's the Christmas break.

Well, maybe that'll give you some time to think about what's going on.

Make some adjustments and hopefully we'll see you in the new year.

…relaxed and I feel ready

- to party… - Party!

- …with the best of them. - …with the best of them.

And I'm gonna go down to the river…

This is totally you at the match today.

- Oh, God, I'm such a mess. - No, no, you're not a mess.

It was funny.

Well, at least there were only seven people there to see me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I'm so…

That was so insensitive… A really terrible joke.

No, it was, it was a good joke. I loved your joke.

I love that I have a friend that can make mean,

awful jokes at my expense, because you're not mean or awful at all.

I'm… I'm just worrying about Roy.

Oh, no, what?

He's met someone,

and he's gonna marry her,

and they're gonna have babies, and I'm a mess.

No, no, you're not a mess.

I'm the mess.

Matthijs said he was gonna move here and I…

and I freaked out and now I've totally ruined it and we're on a break.

- Oh, my God. - Yes.

- No. That's so bad. - I know, isn't it?

And so I'm the mess.

Oh, shit.

I think we're both messes.

Yes.

- I'm so sorry. - Oh, God.

Oh, my, the back of my head hurts.

I bet it does. You had a good time today.

I don't even like vodka.

You'll be all right.

I don't know.
