- GoofsAt 2.18, Colin approaches Isaac and says "Do you want to get a drink boyo?" There are different cultures in Wales especially regarding the use of English but, on the whole, you would only call someone a boyo if you were being sarcastic or looking down upon someone. In these circumstances of reaching out, Colin would be more likely to say Isaac, skipper, captain, mate or bach.

Featured review
One of the best episodes of the series
I am not sure why there is so much blow-back on this episode because of the gay and lesbian themes. The arcs are actually the opposite of "political correctness" -- I am sad to say that in many places in the U. S. in 2023, it is dangerous for gays and lesbians -- or, heaven-forbid, trans people -- to come out; political correctness would be to have all of the stories about white heterosexuals. But, I digress.
I found this episode to be excellent, the best of the season so far and one of the best of the series. We are starting to see Roy in a different light. We've always known that he had a soft spot for people because of his love for Phoebe. Now it comes out to the adults as well.
Now, about the relationship between Keeley and Jack. The interesting part of that story was Keeley in a post-Roy relationship. I think that we all knew that it wouldn't last and, dare I predict that they will be back together by the end of the series (it really is a guess -- I have no insider knowledge). I guess that the story was more titillating as a lesbian relationship and I hope that the writers didn't stoop to that just to add spice. In fact, the story -- and the dialogue -- would have been identical if Jack had been a man.
Much more compelling, of course, was Colin's story unless any viewer harbors the illusion that there are no gays and lesbians, closeted and out, in the locker room. One of the themes of the season seems to be stories of the team coming together as a family, both on and off the field.
