Queen's Park F.C. - Ludere Causa Ludendi

For The Sake Of Playing

Robert 'Robbie' Kolatowicz never liked Latin. He never understood why he had to take it at school. It just seemed pointless learning a language that was no-one used. But that was years ago. Now It seems Latin might be useful in my life for once...

I liked Football. I always hoped of making it to the big stage of the SPL. I always dreamed of playing at Rangers. But the closest I ever got to Ibrox was 4 years playing for Benburb FC in the Junior leagues. My football career was never Professional except for a few seasons at Partick Thistle. I started at Maryhill FC, then Partick Thistle, then Benburb. I wasn't exactly a Journeyman. I'm now 33, and have no club. I decided to get my coaching badges a couple of years ago but so far I have never had any offers for a Job. That changed yesterday...

My father Mark wanted to see the Third Division table to look at some of the Teams Rangers could be facing. I looked on Sky Sports' website to see the league standings when a Headline to the right caught my eye.

"Gardner Spiers sacked as manager of Queen's Park"

Queen's Park Football Club. Not just a Club, but an Institution. I saw this as my Chance. A chance to get into Football Management for the first time. Sure, I wouldn't get paid because they are an amateur club.

But, like Queen's Park, I play for the sake of playing.

Did you say your name was Kolatowicz?

Yes, of Polish heritage I'm sure. My father could probably explain why.

Mark's not my type

The Boss

Today I am psyching myself up to make the visit to Hampden Park. Scotland's National Stadium. I had written a letter to Ross Caven, the Chairman of Queen's Park and he said he would like to take a closer look at me.

It was at this point I heard my Dad wake up. He had taken me to the Local Lap-dancing club in Town to have a good time and forget about my worries. It did not help at all, especially when I found Dad Handcuffed to some Sort of Naked Dog. My father told me stories about when he was Sexually assaulted by the cast of the Expendables, and How he loved a place called Killymoon in Ireland. He was rambling about something like that, anyway.

I left my Dad to watch Sky Sports News to see if he would catch any updates. I drove to Hampden in my old Citroen Saxo. I then went through the Entrance of Hampden to the Reception desk, Where a young woman was sitting behind the large oak desk.

Me: Hello. I am here to see Ross Caven, the Chairman of Queen's Park. He wanted to see me about the manager's job.

Woman: Okay, I'll go find him.

What? She had to go find him? I knew that there was loads of SFA offices in Hampden, But Seriously, Shouldn't he be in a Large office?

Anyway, the woman came back and told me to go down the corridor, up the stairs, and the first door to the Right. I found it easily enough (Probably because there was a huge Queen's Park emblem on the door but never mind) and knocked on the door.

Caven: Come In!

I entered. I saw that the man was about 6 feet tall, and had a Moustache that commanded respect. How could I forget? It was Ross Caven, Queen's Park's Greatest ever player! I remembered playing against him while at Partick. What a Player! I sat down to discuss everything. We got all the Hello's over with soon enough.

Caven: We are looking for a man who will lead these players by commitment, not money. Do you think you can do that?

Me: Listen, I promise you, I will get into the Second Division!

He looked shocked.

Caven: Are you mad? Rangers are in the same league as us! we'd never get into the second division even without Rangers!

Me: I will get promoted through the Play-offs. You know how good these players are. They have what no other Team has. Players who play for the shirt.

Caven: You'd better be ready.

Me: Why?

Caven: Your first press conference is in an hour!

120 views already? We'll get a thousand quicker than I expected!
