Funny Old Game by Michael Dooner - Short, Comedy, Play - Based in a Radio Studio, of a Football Match between England and Ireland, told through the eyes of two opposing passionate and ardent commentators, with words of wisdom embellished throughout! 26 pages - doc, format 8)

Some of the lines in this made me smile: "Statistics are just like mini-skirts, they give you good ideas but hide the most important things!" and "England have plenty of irons in the fire and keep them close to their chest!" for example.

But I'm not sure what the point of it all is. If all you wanted to do was write some amusing lines then 26 pages is way over the top - you could probably loose 20 of them and not affect the script that much. The two main characters also seemed far too under-developed to support a piece of this length and there's no progression with them at all - once you get over the fact that they're a parody of overblown commentators (which happens within the first few pages) what is there to keep us interested?

(Disclaimer: I'm not a massive football fan)

What you have here is just a sketch - it'd probably work as a 3/4 page comedy piece if you gave the characters more depth and came up with a punchline.
