Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert)


18-year-old Jesminder "Jess" Bhamra is the daughter of British Indian Punjabi Sikhs living in Hounslow, London. Jess has a passion for football, but her parents do not support her interest. However, she sometimes plays in the park with boys, including her best friend, Tony, who is gay, although her family thinks he has his eye on her. Her family is occupied with planning for Jess's sister Pinky's imminent wedding.

Jules Paxton, a member of the Hounslow Harriers, a local women's amateur football team, notices Jess's football skills, befriends her, and invites her to try out for the team. The coach, Joe, a young Irish former player whose own career was derailed by injuries, accepts her into the team. Although Jess's parents (mainly her mother) forbid her to join the team, she plays behind their backs, claiming to have a summer job when she is actually at football practice. When he learns that Jess is on the team without her parents' permission, Joe pleads with Mr. Bhamra to allow Jess to play, but he refuses, revealing that he does not want Jess to suffer the way he did when he was excluded from a cricket club because of anti-Indian sentiment.

With Pinky covering for her, Jess travels with the team to play a match in Germany; the Harriers lose the match after Jess fails to score on a penalty kick. When they go out clubbing in Hamburg after the match, Jules catches Joe and Jess about to kiss. This sours the two girls' friendship, as Jules also is attracted to Joe despite denying fancying him when Jess asked her earlier. Furthermore, Jess's parents find out she is still on the team by seeing a newspaper article about the Hamburg match. After returning, Jess goes to Jules's house to try to patch up their friendship, but Jules's mother, confused by overhearing only parts of an argument out of context, thinks they are hiding a lesbian relationship.

Jess's father secretly attends one of her games, and sees Jess mocked with a racial slur by an opposing player, and Joe hugging her afterward to comfort her. The Harriers qualify for the finals of the league tournament, but the championship match - with an American talent scout in attendance - is to be held on the same day as Pinky's wedding, so Jess resigns herself to missing the game. At Pinky's wedding Jess is visibly miserable; her father tells her to go to the game so she can be happy on her sister's wedding day. The Harriers are behind 1-0 when Jess arrives, but they rally, and eventually Jess wins the game with a free kick. The scout offers Jess and Jules sports scholarships at Santa Clara University in California. Jules and Jess share a hug and kiss to celebrate, furthering Jules's mother's suspicions. Jess returns to the wedding, now able to celebrate. Jules's mother gives Jules a ride to the wedding as well, but when they arrive, Mrs. Paxton accuses Jess of being a hypocrite and a lesbian. Jules drags her mother away, angrily clarifying her relationship with Jess.

Later that day, Jess has still not told her parents about the scholarship; she is afraid they might not allow her to go to the United States on her own. Tony, out of friendship for Jess, decides to lie to the family and tell them he will get engaged to Jess as long as she gets to go to any college she wants. The Bhamras happily accept, but Jess immediately confesses the truth. Jess's mother ignores Jess's heartfelt speech and scolds Jess's father for letting Jess leave Pinky's wedding. But her father announces he doesn't want Jess to suffer as he did, and accepts her desire to play football. Jess runs to the football field to tell Joe of her parents' decision. The two almost kiss, but Jess pulls away, saying her parents would object, and that although they had come far enough to let her go to America to play, she doesn't think they would be able to handle another cultural rebellion from her.

On the day of Jess and Jules's flight to America, the two are about to board the plane when Joe arrives and confesses his love for Jess. The two kiss secretly and Jess agrees to sort out their relationship (and her parents) when she returns for Christmas. While at the airport, they see David Beckham with his wife Victoria, which Jules takes as a good sign. The two leave through the gate giving happy waves to their families.

While Jess and Jules are away, Mr and Mrs. Paxton patch up their relationship, Pinky becomes pregnant and Mr. Bhamra gets back into playing cricket with Joe

Feedback Policy


I sell tangible goods - NOT feedback. For this reason, I do not leave feedback for buyers, and never have done. I use the automated feedback system which eBay provides sellers. It is triggered to leave a positive rating and a random comment (from a list of 10 saved comments) upon receipt of positive feedback from the buyer - or in simpler terms, at the conclusion of the transaction. 

If you're expecting feedback prior to the conclusion of the transaction, or if you expect personalised rather than generic comments, please be prepared for disappointment. 
Any/all message requests for feedback will either receive a generic reply, or be ignored completely.

So the bottom line is; don't expect feedback, don't be a feedback beggar, and your feedback score will automatically increase by one after you complete the transaction. If you disagree with my feedback policy, please find an alternate seller.


Terms of Sale (the fine print)


Unfortunatelya certain undesirable element has made the inclusion of these terms a necessity. They are as follows;

  1. By bidding, buying or making an offer, you agree that you have read the listing in its entirety - including these terms. You acknowledge understanding all content, and confirm complete agreement with same.

  2. All of my listings have preferences set to automatically decline unrealistic offers. I'm not in the habit of giving things away, so please keep it real.

  3. Sending ridiculously low counter offers (lowballing) will result in you being blocked immediately. If you seriously think I will entertain an offer of $2.50 for a $425.00 item, I suggest you seek help for your condition. Perhaps unassisted online shopping isn't an appropriate activity for you.

  4. While on the subject of blocking, if you wish to make an offer, please use the tools provided by eBay. If you try to circumvent the system by messaging me with an offer, you will be reported for trying to trade outside of eBay, and voilĂ ... you're blocked.

  5. Estimated delivery times are just that - an estimate. They are provided by eBay, and have nothing whatsoever to do with either the delivery service provider or the seller.

  6. Postage star ratings for all items are in relation to the seller's handling time. As in, how long it takes them to post the item after receiving your payment. You are rating the seller - NOT the delivery service provider. Sellers have no control over delivery times for Australia Post, Aramex, DHL, or any other chosen shipping company. If you wish to rate their service, please visit their respective website. Using the eBay feedback system to rate a seller's handling time, based on the level of service you were provided by a third party, is not only unfair, it's highly inappropriate.

  7. At the time of dispatch, you will receive an email advice with an attached photograph of the item as it went out the door. While items are dispatched at all hours of the day and night, in most cases they are generally not picked up until some time between 8am and 6pm on the following business day (usually around noon, but times vary).

  8. Different screen resolutions may alter colours on different devices.

  9. Any measurements given are done by hand, and therefore approximate. Please allow for a variation of anywhere up to 10 - 20mm

  10. My home is smoke free, but not pet free. While all care is taken, the possibility still remains of static electricity causing lint, thread, plastic or even a stray hair to cling to packaging items. If there's even the slightest chance you may find this offensive, please do not purchase this item.

  11. Upon entry of the UPC number, item specifics are auto-filled by the eBay system. These system generated product details overwrite manual entries, and may, or may not be accurate.

  12. The grading system used on my listings is provided by eBay. For console game discs, CDs and DVDs, it is as follows;


    Disc Condition

    Scratching/Marking

    Rating

    Brand New

    N/A

    N/A

    Like New

    Blemish Free

    Very Good

    Anywhere between Light and Medium

    Good

    Anywhere between Medium and High

    Acceptable

    Anywhere between High and Extreme



    All
     items are graded based on whichever category applies best to the item. As an example, an item listed as "Good" condition, doesn't mean it is in good condition. It means it is the grading (as the second lowest), which best applies to the item. If you disagree with the grading system implemented by eBay and used in this listing, please do not buy this item.

  13. When an item is described as used, that means it is used. All known defects, blemishes or imperfections are noted in the listing. If you are wanting a new item, please buy one. Do not buy a used item and expect something brand new to be delivered - especially for $3.00 with free postage.

  14. If something is described as having medium to high level scratching, expect it to have medium to high level scratching. Complaining that your item showed up scratched when that is exactly how it was described casts serious doubt on your character and/or intelligence. Once again, if you are after a blemish free item, please buy it new.

  15. Used CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are checked for defects under warm light, cool light and natural light. They are then tested on a Laser BLU-BD4000 Blu-ray player, while console games are tested on the relevant gaming console. Due to varying levels of sensitivity between playback units, what works without fault on my test equipment may not work properly on your personal setup. I am not responsible for the quality or functionality of your hardware, and am in no way at fault if the disc doesn't function correctly in your system.
    Please Note: There is a known sensitivity issue with LG - DV582H DVD players.

  16. In the unlikely event of something going wrong, you agree to contact me first before taking any other action. You agree to assist me with any investigation by providing any/all requested information as soon as possible.

  17. All items above $15.00 in value, and all items larger than a letter will be shipped with tracking.

  18. To avoid damage in transit, all items are packaged in a professional manner for shipping. This is NOT negotiable. Any requests for modifications to packaging practices will be declined. Not only do I know what I'm doing, but I don't tell you how to do your job - so don't tell me how to do mine!

  19. Just because an item is listed as "free postage" does not mean that postage is free. It is not. It means that the postage cost is factored into the sale price, and borne by the seller. Any refunds provided will have the actual postage and packaging charges, along with all applicable fees deducted from the refund amount you are given.

  20. Never assume. If you find any missing or incomplete information in a listing, please ask for further details. I'm always only too happy to help out whenever I can, and would appreciate the opportunity to revise the listing.

  21. My hours of operation vary each day, but I am generally available during the following Sydney times;


    Day

    Hours

  22. Purple monkey dishwasher! I just thought I'd toss that in there to see if you're paying attention. Quote this phrase in the buyers note during checkout to receive a 10% discount on your order.

  23. Finally, if you don't agree with all of the above, please find another seller.
