All who participated could not believe we got nowt from this game. Still it was competitive without being nasty and most players, including theirs, descended on The Station afterwards,where true connoisseurs of the round ball game witnessed the demolition of West Ham by the bonny lads in black and white. I digress, back to the league game where we were ahead twice through sumptious Gavin strikes, especially the first, only to be pegged back by two less than glorious goals before they notched their winner from the penalty spot. All in all, all very unfortunate, we ran them close and they weren't their usual cocky selves.
A lovely cross headed in unerringly by Richard was chalked off by Carl's flag and my reffing- very close! Sandy didn't complain about our officiating then but did they go ballistic when I gave our second goal, in my view legitimately, shortly afterwards. "Cheats, cunts "...and the usual boring litany that passes for democratic comment on a football pitch. Their linesman wasn't even watching, was miles behind the play and only flagged in obedience to his masters' voices well after the ball was in the net. Thinking back, I know I was right to give a goal for several reasons, not the least being the ref's decision is final, yer tek the rough wi thi smooth and gerron wi life or in this case the game. Wait till we play with their qualified ref yill get nowt.
Well played lads, I can only say that mistakes have cost us these past couple of games but some of the football has been brisk, compact and imaginative. Next week it's Goldings, who will probably win the league and can be nasty. Last season's closing match saw us deny them the title with a fine 3-0 win, a match which culminated in the near fatal strangulation of Trevor and the nutting of Bill (our ref). An interesting morning following on from Friday's bondage session seems guaranteed.

You lost 2-0 Ron. The Toon first eleven could not match a second string Arsenal side. The second half was one way traffic. Get ready for below mid table along with the Macems!!
What's the name of Sandy's ex-Luton player? I want to do some low level boasting that I've played against someone mildly famous (from the Luton area). Let's have a game. Name some famous Lutonians other than footballers. I'll start 'John Hegarty' - he's a poet!
I think it was Lil Fucillo
Lil fuchillo is the name of the ex Luton player. He also managed Peterborough. I played against him for the Knobs a few times and he has still got it despite his years. Famous Lutonians include former motorcycle world champion Phil Read and singer Paul Young.
Luton? The Mad Hatter?
Paul Young may have left his hat in Luton but surely that wasn't his home?
Paul Young used to work at Vaxhall motors while he toured the clubs in a band called the Q Tips.
Did you mean PG Tips?
Interesting fact of the day lads. You wont believe it but after high tide of the sun (or whatever it is called), we lose 2 minutes of sunlight every day!
