Guest Player

[FullRideSoon]

My daughter’s coach has asked if I’d like to be his date at a society wedding in Rochester Hills next weekend.  It’s a little bit of a late invitation because it seems his current girlfriend has decided to go back to her husband, leaving him without a partner for the wedding and without a left sided central defender for the fall season.  I feel a little bit like how a guest player must feel at a showcase tournament and I’m wondering what tactics I should use?

Part of me thinks that I should agree but be really demanding and insist that he sends a cab to pick me, cover the cost of my room in the hotel, and take care of breakfast in the morning.  I was even going to insist that I “play the whole game” but I’m worried that he’ll misinterpret that suggestion.

On the other hand I could just gratefully accept and then let him play me as he sees fit.  I guess that might be more acceptable to the rest of the guests who won’t really be expecting to see me playing in some other girl’s position.

So I’m not quite sure what the protocol is because I guess there’s no fixed etiquette as last minute guests are brought in for lots of different reasons.

Do you get to promote yourself as a guest player by adding a phone number to your jersey

Just keep him from going offsides! Cherry picking is highly frowned upon at such events.

I think there's only one s unless you've been in that position more than once

Something tells me FRS has been in that position a time or two before

Great minds think alike...that's what I always say, "whip it out and bring it"
