Put Me In, Coach: Difference between revisions

* Played with in ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', where during the [[Big Game]] between the Academicals and Ankh-Morpork United, Trev Likely doesn't ''want'' to be put in because [[I Gave My Word|he promised his old mum he wouldn't play football]], despite the fact that the game is almost literally not his father's football (the brutal street sport that got his dad killed). He eventually caves in when the crowd (and his girlfriend) starts shouting for "Likely!", but proves terrible because he's used to kicking around an old tin can, and not an actual football. Fortunately, some quick thinking lets the Academicals [[Loophole Abuse|exploit an old rule]] ("the ball shall be called the ball, if it has been played by at least three consecutive players") and win the game.
