  • The Concourse Ruling: Edge Guy’s Offside Trap
The political Champions League exploded with the Concourse Ruling, blowing the final whistle on Edge Guy’s (EG) comeback dreams. His fans, especially cadres with big biceps and borrowed English, were not amused.

Once the star striker for Team Pub Wattle (Sean Kindergarten XI), EG dramatically retired in 2021 after a disastrous second half. He left the pitch amid deafening boos from a million spectators watching live. But like any seasoned political footballer, he never truly left—still jogging around the stadium, delivering pep talks, and attempting sneaky penalty kicks when the referee wasn’t looking.

Yet, the Concourse officials, armed with VAR and backed by the rulebook, were watching. Their verdict was clear:
“Retired players can’t rejoin the match.”
Fans erupted, chanting:
“He’s our only dribbler! Bring him back!”
But the ruling stood firm, with officials pointing to EG’s retirement press conference—now immortalized in the archives like a VAR replay exposing a desperate offside trap.
EG, however, wasn’t ready to hang up his boots. At a hastily arranged press briefing, he dusted off his captain’s armband.
“Retirement is fluid,” he declared, adjusting his collar. “There’s always Plan B warming up. Besides, the opposition still needs my goals.”

His loyal midfielders nodded in agreement, some even suggesting that the referee was biased and that maybe, just maybe, the rules were meant to be bent.

Meanwhile, Team United Paddlers (UP), led by Heigtened Heights (HH), saw an open goal. Determined to control the entire stadium, they had systematically denied the opposition any chance to regroup, going as far as banning team meetings.

Spinning a football lazily on his finger, HH smirked:
“Rules are rules. This isn’t some fee-pomp war. It’s Champions League, Ming ah latto.”

Armed with the much-debated PoA Playbook, he had already benched most of PW’s key players, sending some to the dressing room indefinitely, while quietly reshaping the game to his advantage.

But EG wasn’t going down without a fight. As the match neared its final minutes, whispers of a dramatic substitution began to spread. Would he challenge the ruling? Would he appeal to the League of Public Opinion?

The fans waited, half-expecting him to sneak back onto the pitch disguised as a ball boy.

One question now looms over the political stadium:
Will EG assemble a ragtag Sean Kindergarten XI for an embarrassing drubbing in 2026, or has the final whistle truly blown?
Politics, after all, teyabana—it always has extra time.
