So, I’ve had a busy last couple of days. But, I’ve gotten bits and pieces of various news stories. There’s been a lot of talk and controversy surrounding a balloon story. Now, what I gather is a family from Colorado in the US, who are Liverpool fans, and aspiring reality TV stars, or possibly Sunderland fans, sent their son Falcon in a balloon as a publicity stunt.
Now, things are a little foggy how it happened, but apparently it was a hoax and distraction. Young Falcon was not in the balloon at all. Their real insidious objective was to get the balloon onto the field as a 12th man in a Sunderland v. Liverpool match in an attempt to either block a Sunderland shot, or, be utilized as an attacking force to deflect a shot into the Liverpool net, which is actually what happened. Poor Liverpool. And I hear the ref has now been demoted out of the Premiership and possibly scooped up by Garber to be the head referee in the MLS. Now, keep in mind, these are all bits and pieces. You know how things are in the internet era- bits and snippets of information.
But, as my headline suggests, if you compare the finishing of Chad B. v. the balloon, maybe TFC might have use for the balloon- it’s even the right colour!
