Kevin Muscat’s recent indiscretion was one of the most talked about issues on The Roar over the past month and has prompted plenty of emotions.
Hence, I wrote this piece (“piece of what?”, you ask – you decide), basically using the opinions of my fellow Roarers.
Sorry Melbourne Victory supporters, this piece was based on common opinion. You ain’t going to get the balance you desire. I’m not going to suggest this is high art and, at best, it would be described as doggerel.
The words do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the writer, or do they?
Just remember guys, I’m having a bit of fun.
The Ballad of Kevin Muscat
Like the evil gunslinger in a western,
He rolled into town.
Careless forwards he’d mow down.
Cartwheeling them to the ground.
The sheriff, he was quick with red.
“Get off the ground,” he said.
The gunslinger growled and snarled,
“Red card me, you’re off yer head.”
The crowd they jeered.
The Blue End cheered,
A man they loved.
The rest of us had had enough.
Reputation preceded the man,
He was given an eight game ban.
Still the Blue fans said he’d done nothing wrong,
Repeating that same ol’ song.
See ya Kev, you won’t be missed.
Finally the right send off, you’ve been dismissed.
For the last time, you’ve worn that shirt.
The last player you’ve cynically hurt.
Seeya Kev. It’s game over now.
It’s time to take that final bow.
The curtain’s fallen on your career.
On the way out, I hope the door doesn’t hit your rear.
