The match, despite continuous overnight rain, was never in doubt, nor was the result when the true Vets got down to playing and gettin stuck in.
A hard first half, uphill into the teeth of wind and rain was hard,on a waterlogged treacherous surface yet we still made chances and ultimately took one from Mike to go in 1-0 up. We defended stoutly sometimes a little robustly and they were reduced to a few long range efforts all handled faultlessly by Trevor. A particularly stinging drive was brilliantly saved by their keeper from Mike and Nick rounded the keeper only to see his shot just cleared from the line.
I didn't think I was the dirtiest player on the pitch in the first half, I stand in thrall of Roy for that honour. Certainly I don't think I've been the dirtiest player for two years or so all part of the half time time tete a tete betwixt the referee and myself. Certainly I tripped their marauding ostrich and the mud I popped at his face was only a little piece but did he have to nut me? We shook hands and got on with it. It's aal part of the game which can be as much psychological as owt- puttin people off it's a great leveller. Their number seven had to be reined in, e was only about 25, and so he went from influential midfielder to outside left of Stevenage Road in very short order.
The second half saw them rarely threaten, two off target shots. With Gavin exhiliratingly at full stretch we could have won by more. One of his runs took him skimming over the mud into the area from where he slotted home the second. A third was in from Matty but at the last second the referee blew up for an injury to Dave in our six yard box. My fault. Dave had taken one in the nuts and I'd thought it was something serious!
Well despite being without our midfield strength, in the middle, we won the points. I'm content, time to retire now.
Everyone played really well but special mentions to a flawless performance from Steve Hammond when he came on- sorry you waited so long but you know the on-off sub tactic is not a winning one and Gavin for his mudsprinting with a ball under control!
Thank you to Alistair for reffing- it's a mug's game.

i think you lie like a cheap rug to say that you're not the dirtiest player
May i add that the perfectly weighted hospital ball to Roy
was made by Dave J which started the move for the first goal. Well done Roy for not getting your leg broken.

Fuking hell that can not be right? Dave has scored a goal!
Dave scored possibly the goal of last season.
Dave used to shoot all the time from anywhere in the opposition's half.
Placing him at left back clipped his wings somewhat.
He can also cheat very well.
He win's on football cards and time wastes with the best of them.
This is Your Life DJ.
Oh yes and he drops a canny bar clearer when he's been hitting the veg heavy.
I love Dave, he's even got his own tv channel.
I feel sorry for Dave. Apart from nearly everyone shouting at him on the pitch. He's ugly and he smells too! Especially after a Saturday night on the veg.
Goal of last season from Dave? I dont remember that! Mind you I dont remember much these days. I woild ask him about it, but i have only got a few years left on this planet, why waste the time?
Can anyone remember who scored the best goal last season? I cant, can you? What about this year? I cant remember?????
If i remember off the top of my head it was in Febuary 2007 against Therfield. Im not one to brag as thats not my style, but it was the sweetest strike you'll see
in a long while. I would like to thank everyone for their kind comments of late.
CARRY ON!!
When are the photos of Dave's arse going to be up on the site?
Photos of Dave's arse on the shite?
Is that after being on the piss or on the veg? I prefer the former to be frank.
Pity poor Dave, He's not had it good of late what with playing next to Uncle Roy who constantly nags at him and what with being the under study to that dashing looking gentleman Chris G. Also having that six foot long python of a camera up his arse for good measure. I heard he woke up after the op with his pants on the wrong way and his consultant regulary writes him.
Come on fella's let's leave Dave alone now please...
I thought this was my 15 minutes of fame.
Give that boy a light ale.
In fact give him two and a tab.
Olay, olay olay olayyyyy!
Fuck em all you're only born once!
