Popped into a second-hand bookshop in Truro before the game and overheard a conversation about the teaching of evolutionism in schools. The proprietor was apparently largely unconvinced about the validity of evolutionist theory. Bloody hell, I know it’s a long way down south, but the sun surely wasn’t hot enough for it to be Truro, Louisiana. I reckon old Wesley and his boys – over at Gwanapp Pit – would have been far less fundamental.
But, leaving aside the more pressing issue of a tenner being far too much to pay for an old Ward Lock Guide to Falmouth, it did make me think about the creationism v evolutionism debate applied to football and, in particular, today’s game. Truro City are a side that – although the club is long-standing – was virtually created in seven days as a result of Chavvy Boy’s investment. But, on the other hand, the squad has been pretty settled over the last two or three seasons and may yet evolve into a decent force in Conference South. As for Torquay United, there’s been a fair amount of recent creationism – “on the sixth day, you shall have Brian Saah!” – but with a blend of evolutionism in the form of Messrs Ellis, Mansell, Nicholson, Robertson and Stevens. And, should you believe in second comings, there’s always Ricey and Chris McPhee.
However, if you want evidence of the Twelve Disciples, you only need to look at Bucks bringing them in at the Gas. Almost, in fact, summer transfer dealings of Noah proportions with players often arriving two-by-two.
And, regarding events on the road to Damascus – or Treyew Road this afternoon – I’d suggest Joe Oastler, to right-back, is a pretty good conversion job.
