1->''"Rory knows claret[[note]]bloodshed[[/note]] is imminent, but he doesn't want to miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls[[note]]arseholes[[/note]] who are ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance.

Rory gobs out[[note]]spits[[/note]] a mouthful of booze covering Fatty; he then flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest[[note]]chest[[/note]] and the geezer's lit up like a leaky gas pipe. [[AxCrazy Rory, unfazed, turned back to his game.]] His team's won too. Four-nil."''
