Seamus loves United and ghosts! When he hears that the spooky old castle on the hill has ghosts playing football in it, he's up there in a flash! He discovers that there are two teams kicking a ball around there - the 1948 United and Rovers cup final teams, doomed to play on until they hear the final whistle. And guess what he has in his pocket?

It was really nice and interesting. There were some strange parts, like when one of the ghosts got injured playing football.

I liked the ghosts because they all play football in the middle of the night. Bristol Rovers versus the Ghosts United and in the last 2 minutes of the game when the match was live on TV and everyone watched it no one knew there was only 2 minutes left. One of the rovers bumped into the referee and made him swallow the whistle! Someone in the crowd did the final whistle and no one knew who won....

I liked that the United team won in the football match. But it is quite long.
