The key to this game (ho ho private joke) was that though we defended well injdividually we didn't defend well together! Brendan was so deep in the first half I thought he wanted to play in goal. As a result, honest , the 2 goals we conceded in the first half, from only 4 'attacks' from them was simply because we allowed them to be in our box to start with! They would never have got there legitimately by energy and skill. As a result they scored in the mud lottery that was the penalty area.
Having said that how many chances did we make/ were given and spurned in that first half? Standing on the line (great!) I ran out of fingers of toes and gave up the count. Mind you their keeper pulled off some blinding saves- their only real player.
Matt got one back and we were only 2-1 down at half time. (Bill's coat was great by the way0.
They incredibly went 3-1 up before we got back to equality 3-3. 4-3 to them 4-4, 5-4 to them then incredibly we got to 5-5 with a towering John Twigg header from a Steve corner.
Just as well John he had been hunting a goal on one of our attacks which broke down and had led them to the 5-4 lead from his position which he'd left somewhat unattended. Ask Bill.
Matt scored a hattrick (therefore man of the match), Bill scored with an astute toe poke after a careful fruitful advance by John put him in and John finished the scoring which only goes to show there's vim and vigour in some of us old dogs!
Ron came on for Mark for 15 minutes, wished he hadn't bothered. Score went from 3-3 to 5-5. Matt scored a goal from an angle as tight as a gnat's snatch, even Matty didn't see it go in!We adjourned to the social club for leftovers from the rugby match but the beer was OK.Some of you know I went off with the dressing room key- amusing in itself but a symptom I'm afraid of a once prodigious memory going to seed. Two weeks ago I lost my home front doorkey only to find it the following week hanging up with the rest of the dressing room keys in our pavilion. Sad really.Finally news of our once star winger Mark the Miller. He had a good first half Sunday, all agreed, even though not as deadly in front of goal as he once was. He plays 90 minutes this Sunday even with a broken leg and he has played 3 times recently for another vet's side and scored 5 goals! Always said he was a matchwinner (Grovel O'Grovel).Gavin is unavailable for three weeks. Richard too (maternity)

DO NOT strip paint off the goalposts with boots or any other abrasive parts of your anatomy.
Or we will be charged.
Fuck Mark up the arse! Being part of the club is not just about the football, he never gets involved?.I am fed up with his childish tantrums. Pay up and fuck off to the other team if you dont wanna be part of the CLUB...
Im always one for a bit of banter,but i hate bullying. So who ever is hiding behind "anonymous" and slagging off players who have been with the team for a long time. Be fucking brave and state who you are. We know Mark has his own inconsistencies like we all do. So if you have a problem with him be man enough to say it to his face and not use this blog to slag him off you fucking coward.
Well said Debbie... Banter is fine but should be kept as that? I have had more than my share of stick on the blog and most of it has been funny but sometimes people over do it. Mark if you have read it dont let it bother you im sure it was not intended to offend, and give some back yourself. Anyway lets get back to slagging me off for being fat and slow like normal. Is Trevor playing Sunday anyone?
I have always loved this club and always will do. I needed to go out on loan to prove myself and think i have done that by playing well and scoring goals. I'm now back and raring to go. Bring on sunday.
One more thing why is the Match Report on as a comment? and john do you want me to get some footballs?
Who wrote that as mm? thats worse then being Anon if it was'nt Mark?
It was not me. Can i come and play for you again?
Ooh things are getting personal and so near Christmas!
Mark is playing this Sunday and is entitled to play for anyone he likes. He takes his chances for Knob's selection and usually takes decisions with a modicum of good grace.
John has yet to come and service computer it just whizzed away and published in the middle of me flow, hence part two in comments.
We will desperately need new balls.
I did not write MMMm I can hardly spell that word.
We are a little short for Sunday, Matt is doubtful.
Keep the banter as banter, clean, wholesome and amusing... yi fasckin shithooses.
Anyone seen me key?
i have 2 big balls
i wrote as mm you odiots
I'm a bit tasty too! And have plenty of balls.
The KEY issue is that we didn't lose. Unbeaten in how many games now? Good squad rotation. We're all getting a game. Luvvly-jubbly. We've just got to LOCK up those defensive holes. Onwards and upwards!
Beware of banishment to Yellow Card house tis a den of iniquity!
I have 2 new shiny balls as well.
