Faraway Sir Ronald

It's been on and off for years but finally the time has come for Sir Ronald to be put out to pasture in Pembrokeshire and become Faraway Sir Ronald. Plenty of gardening to be done and the drink is already a distant memory. The KNOBS, who are they?

Goodbye Sir Ronald

Ware 2 Knobs 10

I've struggled to get up and running, John's fault- I think.
This was a league game and it was a farce- I think. But we got 3 points and are top of the league- I believe.
I don't think I'm very keen on this team so I'm glad we won handsomely. We turned up to play on an unplayable pitch. Endless shall we or won't we was ended when I left it to their boastful referee- he of 15 years standing- remember? I do, to rule on the safety of the pitch. They all but one wanted to play so he ruled we should start and see how things went. We did and after the said 10 minutes we were3-1 up. So what could we do ? We continued and stuffed them and noone was hurt. Good!
We went ahead after a minute Mike tapping home from a drop by their gigantic and on the day hopeless keeper. They immediately equalised from a balletically frozen Chris tottering to keep balance and unable to keep out a crap equaliser. Chris adjusted to the farce magnificiently, they unfortunately didn't. Matt, Mike, John Boyle and most of all the fleet footed Gavin tore them to shreads. Their big blokes simply couldn't cope with the surface- they were fucked. Does Gavin ski?
Matt, from an Ali toe poke, toe poked a finish in the top corner from 20 yards and we were on our way. Mike completed a hattrick before half time, poaching nicely then so did Matt, his movement and glancing header being memorable. Half time 6-1 up.
Another 4 in the second half then a late reply gave us an unusual victory. Gavin ran through and smashed one in, JB sauntered forward and picked 19 different spots before bladdering home, Mike got his fourth (forgotten it) and Darren coming on late welted a half volley home.
Our crosses this week were so so much better than last week and our energy level was inspiring.
I remember one break in the first half when Matty elected to shoot when three of our players better placed had burst guts to get into the 6 yard box. Such be the difference. Oh yes Matty missed a close one (for Steve's benefit). He leathered it.
Steve and Phil were solid as fuck in midfield making the ball do the work on that treacherous surface. Back four good and Trevor simply the best vets goalie we come across.
Dave made a cameo appearance for final 10 minutes and escaped unscathed and I simply stood on the line for 90 minutes with a flag for comfort.
Pleasant in the pub weren't those rolls simple and nutricious?
Steve completed 50 consecutive vets' games for us. Some feat and also a plaudit for the full and competitive fixture list that we have constructed.
Unfortunately not all chaps are happy with this list and some chaps will not turn out against Royston this weekend. Hope this is a pleasant one and that we win handsomely.

I thought Ron had perished in the cold weather. The jumper must have saved him!

Is that right the Faroe Islands are looking in to Mike's family history?

A good result I tought? Game should not of been played but it was and we played some good stuff. I think in alot of ways the pitch helped us, we needed to pass better and not just hoof it. The shape of the team helped, we made it difficult for them. I loved it, I got the ball alot and could just pass it easy. Must mention Phil I thought he had a good game. Some funny things happened on the day, Matt missing from a yard out, Chris displaying his Bambi on ice skills for the first goal, Trevors comment to john about running on the spot, Matt missing from a yard And Rons jumper.
Whats happened to WWW.pissinmygoalmouth.com ?

The jumper is away for the noo- wait till you see the next one. Nae kiddin. Man as kaleidoscopic sheep, nae competition.
Royston game looks very very doubtful- will John and Matt get back in?
A divint knaa but it's Old Owens next in the league- a must win for us, be around.

First thing:
My first goal was not a toe punt. I am proud of that goal and it would probably make it into a top 10 (if i had one). Goal keeper charging out (like a Walrus), i clipped it with the outside of my right boot to get it over and around him. It almost hit the bar and the post on the way in.

Second thing:
I did have a bad miss. I wanted to knock the net of the goal when a side foot would have done. That is what confidence does for you.

I have said that i don't want to play Royston again. I am not sure what you remember of the last two games but a reminder of what happened to me.

In the Royston away game i got caught late from the side on my standing foot. No need for the tackle as i had knocked it out in front ages before.My ankle turned over with a crunch. This injury lasted for over a year and I still have the minor effects of this today.

In the last game i got caught with an elbow across the nose and eye when running around one of their players. result was an explosion of blood in my nose (i thought it was broken), a lovely black eye that the girls at work loved and a lump on my cheek bone.

Now as i think they are nasty c*nts, the game is a friendly, and i want to play on for a few years yet without a serious injury i dont want to play them again. Dont get me wrong, i like a hard game and if it was a league game i would play but i dont like those Wankers.

I think it's a disgrace grown men wearing gloves and hats whilst playing. I'm playing in the raw next game.

I also wore the fabled knobs sweatshirt.

Do all you Knobs shrink away to nothing in the cold weather? Not one hard man between you.

Carlos is my pin up boy!
I'd love to pin him on the end of a size 10 boot.

Was wondering when silly billy ,dilly dally,dizzy dora and willy wally were going to pull out of the Royston game. What we need is a bit of nitty gritty! You should be ashamed of your selves.

I forgot to say welcome back to Debbie 7... hopefully you will find your shooting boots soon?

If Royston game is off does anyone wanna play 6 a side in hatfield?

Nothing wrong with not wanting to be hurt. I thought it was part of the Vets process that if you thought a team was a bit horrible you dropped them from the fixture list. I'm with Matt. One for all and all for Nine!

It's cold isn't it?

Up for the Old Owen's game. Do league goals count double?

Cheers Steve. It would be nice to find any boots let alone shooting ones.

Yes on several counts- especially 6 a side at H.
