Match report v Aloysians League Saturday 21 November 2009
Match report v Aloysians
Score: won 3 - 0
We welcomed Aloysians to Bramley Road on Saturday. This was the team that was promoted with us from Division 6 last year. Our home game against the last year ended up 5 - 5 and I was hoping that we would do better this time against them.
We had a few players missing this week and ended up with 12, with Chris Bagley starting as sub. I also had a quiet word with Lewis to make sure he didnt let their goalkeeper score like last week!!
We started the game well and played some great football in the first half. We passed it around and it seemed that sometimes they were chasing shadows. Everyones passing and control was good in the first half except for Shag, who we thought must have been on the piss last night.
Their only chances in the first half were given to them by our mistakes, but they were very few.
We put pressure on their goal and created a couple of good chances. After about 20 minutes we scored with Harvey slotting the ball into the net. 1 - 0
We put pressure on them for the rest of the half but could not extend our lead.
At half time we talked about getting the ball earlier to the front two and this was the plan for the second half.
During the second half we had so many chances that we could have scored as many goals as Spurs did on Sunday, but the ball just wouldnt go in. Niki must have run over a bag of black cats. He had one chance where he lobbed the keeper and if was going into the net until their centre back somehow managed to get back and clear it off the line. He also had a header from a corner cleared off the line. The best one was a header onto the cross bar that rebounded onto him and off for a goalkick. On another day he could have had 5 goals like Defoe.
With 15 minutes to go and the score still at 1 - 0 Chris came on for Sean. We continued to press and with about 10 minuted left Niki finally got the goal he deserved. 2 - 0
Soon after they kicked off we attacked again with Petros finishing off a good move 3 - 0
Finally, our skipper, Shag, got a golden opportunity to score. He ran into the box as the ball was crossed in, and found himself with loads of space in the six yard box and no defender around him. The goalkeeper was on the floor and the goal was empty. Unfortunately for him, he was so far up the pitch that the blood from his nosebleed must have blurred his vision and his header went wide of the post for a goalkick off the corner flag. Never mind, he will get another opportunity to score in the next 5 years.
A good win for us which puts us 2nd in the league with 2 games in hand of the top team and only two points behind. It was good to have a clean sheet as well. I thought everyone played well on Saturday and if we play like that there wont be many teams that will be able to cope with us. The front two of Harvey and Niki seemed to link up well and their movement was good throughout the game.
Man of the Match: Niki
This week we are at home to Egbertians and I will post details when I have them.

Match report V Latymer 14 November 2009
Match Report v Latymer league 14 November 2009
Score 3 - 3
I knew this game would cause us a problem as last season we were never able to beat them. We drew one and lost one in the league and lost to them in the Cup although they are cheating bastards.
The weather report for Saturday said that there would be a slight breeze in the air in the afternoon.
Our game was moved to Firs Farm on Saturday morning as the top pitch at Bramley was waterlogged. The first 11 were complaining that they now had to play on the bottom pitch, and as I am such a nice guy, I offered to switch with them so they could go to Firs Farm. I was told to Fuck Off. Never mind, I tried.
When we got to the pitch the wind was kind of fresh and blowing from right to left. Shag is the unlukiest bastard I know as he lost the toss, again, and Latymer chose to kick against the wind in the first half. I think we should keep him as captain but ask someone else to do the toss as he must have run over a bag of black cats whilst driving under a very big ladder.
Anyhow, with the wind on our side we we were pressing forward for the first 20 minutes, but the wind also caused us problems as the ball was running away with each pass. We did play some good football and were rewarded with a goal from Petros. 1 - 0
For the rest of the first half the game was played mainly in their half with the only chances that they had, coming from errors on our part. One such error occured right at the end of the half when we gave the ball away on the edge of thier box and they broke and scored. Also towards the end of the half Aaron got a knock to the head and thought he was in Ibiza, so had to come off as he was asking if anyone had any e's. The Mad Scotsman then went to the Centre back position and Sonny came on in midfield.
HT 1 - 1
It did not look good as I was hoping to have a least a two goal lead at half time as the wind was picking up and it was in their favour in the second half. The wind was so strong that we had trouble getting the ball out of our half. Both teams found it hard to control the ball as the wind was so strong. Then the craziest thing happened. Their goalkeeper took a drop kick and it bounced once and sailed over Nutter Lewis's head into the back of the net. 1 - 2
I then took of Petros in order to give Harvey a game with about 20 minutes left. Neither of our forwards were getting much of the ball as the wind was gathering pace as the second half went on. They were constantly attacking us with Lewis pulling off a string of fine saves. In the end the pressure was too much and they managed to score with about 7 minutes left 1 - 3
It looked all over as we had the wing agaonst us and picking up pace all the time. I think it was about a Force 10 gale. I had to play my last card. I moved Dont Fuck With Me Tompkinson to Right midfield and put Ben O'Neil at right back, taking Carl off.
Then against the wind and the run of play, a ball was played through to Harvey who was about 5 yards offside. He went through and put the ball into the back of the net. GOAL. The ref did not blow up and the Latymer boys went mad. 2 - 3
With only about 2 minutes to go, the ball was played to Harvey who then cut inside onto his left foot and stuck a sweet shot towards goal. Even with a gale blowing against the shot it still managed to reach the keeper who parried it behind him and grabbed the ball before it went into the net. By his reaction you could tell that it had crossed the line. There is no way the ref could have seen it but Barroll was claiming a goal and the ref gave it. Cue the Latymer Boys having a fit again. 3 - 3
Great result in the end as it felt like a win. Hopefully one day we will play LAtymer when the conditions are good and they do not have higher players in their team. My dream is that we thrash them and they go home crying to their mums.
Man of the match: Lewis Nutter Pontin

Match report v Leyton County Sat 7 November 2009
Game league v Leyton County away
Won 6 - 1
Unfortunately I couldn't be at the game on Saturday and asked Shag to let me know details for a match report. As you all know, he is an old git and can't remember further back than a 12 hour period, so I managed to get the score off him and the goalscorers but little else. He did say that he thought he was man of the match, but couldn't remember if had played well or not.
So anyhow, I've had to make the match report up myself .
The game started badly for us with Leyton on the attack for the first 15 minutes and they were creating chance after chance, but Lewis Nutter Pontin in goal was making some fingertip saves and one handed catches, definately 1st 11 form. Ive already informed Mickey Peirce, the first 11 manager, who said that I must be mad if he thought that he would pick that nutter for his team. I don't know what he meant by that! He must have seen his performance during training last Thursday.
Anyhow, after the first 15 minutes our defence, which consisted of Andy Blackpudding Blackburn, Aaron Gigalo Wilson, Adam Dont Fuck With Me Tompkinson and Craig Shag Chambers started playing absolutely brilliantly and did not give Leyton another chance.
Our midfield was working hard with Adam Baroll Barrett taking out three at a time and Sonny Relax Davis was swaying his hips and making the rest of their team dizzy in that midfield. Even Tom Sicknote Hannington did not get injured. Things were going well until Shag forgot that the game waas still on and went to the touchline to get some jelly beans and a bannana, which left a gap in our defence. Their players noticed this and attacked down our left side and one of them took a shot from the touchline which went over Nutters head and into the far corner. Shit we were 1 - 0 down. Dont Fuck With Me, and Gigalo started having a go at Shag but Blackpudding and Sean The Mad Ginger Scotsman Gallagher stepped in and calmed it all down.
HT 0 - 1
We had to push forward in the second half as nothing more than a win would be good enough. The half time team talk given by Kevin I'm Going To Kill You Llyons inspired all the players especially John Cant Take My Stella Henderson who came on in the second half.
We started pressing forward and a long ball from Dont Fuck With Me was contolled by Sicknote and the cross was sent in low accross the 6 yard box and Barroll slid in and scored our first goal. Shag wasnt sure if it was Barroll who got the last touch or one of the 4 players that he took with him as he slid in. I've given the benefit of the doubt to Barroll. 1 - 1
We kept on attacking and after about 20 minutes Relax swayed with the ball and mesmerised about 4 of their players. His pass found Niki Im From Enfield Old Gramarians Heigho, who slotted the ball into the back of the net. 2 - 1
Control of the game was now ours and goals followed by Petros and Harvey (will think of other names for them next week) 4 - 1
With 10 minutes to go we got a corner and The Mad Ginger Scotsman whipped it in from the left and it was flicked on by Cant Take My Stella for Gigalo to poke it into the net. 5 - 1
I am told our last goal was something special. Relax picked up the ball in the middle of the park and played a one two with Chris You Better Not Fucking Give Up Bageley and then went on a run past 5 of their players. Every time he looked like he had just kicked the ball a bit too far, but he controlled it with his studs and got passed them all. He then played the ball to Blackpudding who had joined in with the attack, who in turn passed it to Cant Take My Stella. Cant Take My Stella gave it back to Relax who stoked the ball into the back of the net. 6 - 1
Seriously, great result and I am told everyone played well.
We are at home next week v Latymer and I will let you have details later in the week.

Match report v Goff Old Boys - Saturday 31st October 2009
League game Saturday 31st October 2009 away v Goffs Old Boys
Won 1 - 0
It was good to get back to a League game again after so many cup games. This was only our second league game of the season. Looking at the league table it seems that since we beat Belonians in our first game of the season they have improved a great deal as they are sitting on top of the league after having some good results. Or it could be that the teams they have been playing are shit.
On Saturday morning I got a call from Tony saying that the Vets had a cup game and only had 10 players. So I as I am an old git I went and made the 11th man.
Wasn't much use as we lost 4 - 3.
Therefore I couldn't be at the game on Saturday.
According the Shag they were not a bad side and Sean says they are the hardest team that we have played this season. I was also told that they were a physical side. Good goal by Niki by all accounts which gave us the lead in the first half. They also went down to 10 men by getting someone sent off, but still came at us in the second half.
Good three points and a clean sheet.
It is difficult to mark everyone out of 10 this week as I wasn't there, but I recon you were all shit this week as we struggled to beat a team with 10 men. So therefore I will give everyone a mark of 5 excepts for Niki who scored - 7 and man on the match, according to Chambers, Adam Barrett - 8.
or
We could see it as a good win against a difficult side away from home and everyone gets an 8, with man of the match Adam getting 9.
The choice is yours! Let me have your comments.
Next week is another league game away to Leyton County. I will post details in due course.
I also need annual subs paid as from next week I will not be able to pick you if you have not paid up - £65.
