   It is similar for me.  I'm not a sports nut and I only ever played a game   
   once, socially.   
      
   The term 'gully' escapes me completely, and the same goes for any similar   
   receiving team "positioning" term.  WRT the loss of a contact lens, it ought   
   not affect the playing of the game due to a lighting factor as the game is   
   governed by an umpire, taking available lighting into consideration for the   
   continuance of a game.   
      
   My 'take' on Aexander's query is that it is an expression of an example of an   
   unpublished "Confucius's Constant: Shit Happens".  It just takes one little   
   stupid happenstance to screw some well-thought plan.   
      
   :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
