I agree with Skahtboi; they need a new scorekeeper!
I guess by random, I meant that before each game, we go to the home side of the field and say, "Who's keeping the book", and give it to whoever chirps first - if no one does, I hand it to the coach on the way in and have him pick someone. So, for this particular team, she's not random - she the one that pipes up. Wonder what happens next week when I ignore her and say, "Anyone, anyone volunteer?"

My partner agreed he gets half the blame for even acknowledging her existence when she called time. He was prewarned by me regarding the previous week's incident and we were both keeping score just in case. Next time, she gets ignored, and if the coach asks about BOO, we'll get the book, step away from the fence and ask the coach what he's protesting.
