MATCH REPORT v EGBERTIANS 28 NOVEMBER 2009

MATCH REPORT V EGBERTIANS
LEAGUE 28 NOVEMBER 2009
Score: Won 7 - 2 Scorers: Adam B - 3, Niki 3, Harvey 1

Before the game I had thought that this was a good side we were playing against as they had not done to bad in the league so far. Our 4th team played them in the cup a few weeks ago and although they beat them, in extra time I think, I was told that they were quite a dirty side and would try and intimidate you. For some reason Dont Fuck With Me smiled when I mentioned this, which made feel afraid. Very afraid!

The first half was strange as we had all the possession and all the chances but 35 minutes into the half it was standing at 1 - 1. We took the lead early in the half with Baroll gettin his first goal of the game. We kept on attacking and they hardly got out of their half, with Hip Hop Harvey coming close a few times. Then after 35 minutes they managed to get the ball into our half and Blackpudding managed to handball it and give them a penalty. He complained to the ref that it did not hit his hand, but as he virtually caught the ball with both hands his protests were in vain.

This is the 3rd season that Nutter has been playing in goal for us and his record for penalty saves has been awfull. I should refraise that. His record for even going in the right direction from a penalty has been awfull. The nearest he has got to a penalty was a couple of seasons ago when the ball hit the back of the net and rebounded onto his head. So I wasnt very hopefull of him saving this one. I was right. The ball went to his right and he dived to his left. I think Shag was nearer to saving the ball and he was outside the penalty area. Never mind, perhaps we should give him some practice in saving penalties at training.

No, Fuck it, he will stil probably go the wrong way.

We kept on pressing for the rest of the half, with Hip Hop still not able to score. He had chance after chance but the ball just would not go in the back of the net. Couldn't, brothel and score rings a bell.

I mentioned last week that Shag had his first opportunity to score for 50 years and missed it. This week he ventured forward again playing some good football with Petros and Niki. His chance came in one of these attacks when he cut inside the defender and had an opportunuty to shoot. We all cried SHOOT, but he lost his bottle and decided to play a weak pass to nobody in particular. Never mind, maybe next year.

But their goal seemed to have woken us up, and we kept on attacking. We managed to score two goals in the last 5 minutes of the half. The first by Baroll, to get his second of the game and the second from Niki.
HT 3 - 1

At half time Shag came off for the Mad Scotsman who slotted in at left back. I still had three subs left but could only use two of them. As Carl was left on the bench for a previous game I thought it only fair to let him have a game. I think Carl is a strange animal. He is very quiet and doesn't say a lot, but I have seen him in action against Wood Green a couple of years ago when Can't Take My Stella had a tiff with a gangster rapper playing for Wood Green. The next thing I knew, was Carl smacking another rapper in the mouth. Silent but deadly.

Anyhow, I thought that Silent But Deadly should get a game, so I told him I would put him on after 10 minutes of the second half.

We totally dominated the game . Baroll got his hatrick early in the second half to make it 4 -1. Slient but Deadly them came on for Chris Dont stop Fucking Running Bagely. Niki then got his 2nd and third goals to make a second hatrick of the day. 6 - 1.

Hip hop was still trying his best to score but the ball just would not go in.

I then had to make a decision betweem Sicknote and Cant take my Stella, as to who would go on. In the end I opted for Sicknote who replaced Relax. Not and easy decision but one that had to be made.

Finally, Hip hop managed to score even though the ball went in off the post. 7 - 1

It was a rout and our defence decided that they would like to get on the scoresheet and lost their shape. Gigalo and Blackpudding were pushing forward thinking they were Maradona. This left a gap at the back which was exploited by Egbertians and they pulled a goal back 7 - 2. Dissapointing, as I would like us to concede the least goals this season of any of the Minch sides.

It was a good win that leaves us in second place in the league 2 points behind the leaders with 2 games in hand and still unbeaten. We did play some great football and I think we impressed all the onlookers. I have had comments from Charlie Smith, the Club Captain, on how well the team played and from a couple of other onlookers, so well done all.

Next weeks game is at home again v Tollingtinians. Will let you all have details in due course.
