A languid performance on a warm spring day culminating in the only acceptable result. Perhaps it was the mayhem at the start, who's coming, how many do they have, who's reffing, is this the world in an oyster shell? I dunno.
I thought they tried hard and competed with a couple of twenty year olds, perhaps it was the post winter baked, bouncy pitch but they shouldn't have been in the game for so long. Perhaps the pitch was our main opponent, probably. When we did attempt a passing move it resulted in a Steve cross unerringly onto the head of M. Boyle who caressed it with height and loop inside the post. Lovely. 1-1. I came off then with a complicated case of knee-fuckitis. They had led from a corner in a rare 'attack' when in a case of after you Claude politeness, the ball arrived to the the unfortunate Brendan thence into the goal. I blame Trevor and Alistair. Alistair was the one to clear and Trev's call of Alistair was therefore unecessary. That's what it seemed to me from some distance in Never Never Land.
We took a 2-1 lead from a rifled Phil shot from an astute, 'get on the end of that' pass from Steve. Matt smashed a couple more in- he should go for power next time, test those nets make sure they're up properly while he's lacing his boots.
Injuries galore, though most peope stayed the course, groins and hamstrings. I winced each time Roy approached the ball and he retired to give my fucked knee one last try out at centre half.
This was Bill's old school by the way. Why didn't he cry?
We adjourned to the Mallard an old fashioned pub where after many crisps they served us with a platter of cheeses and bits and pieces, very nice too! John Boyle is a gherkin fiend, I only got one.
Season approaching the close, lassitude abounds. A Knobs Friday night cicket team is mooted, over to you Bill.
Next week we are at home to Ashwell, who Mark assures me are a really weak though enthusiastic team. So bear that in mind when invited to partake.
I wonder if Paul has the paint off the new carpet yet? Next time get Tom to do the painting. That Tom! Watch what you say.
Welcome to the festive ramblings of faraway Sir Ronald and his knobs Dancer Dave, Dasher Darren and Prancer Al. Do take the time to browse around and participate in the blog. Older, slower and fatter than ever, that's the festive knobs!
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?

Well played chaps. Who was in the team? Any outstanding performances.
Divvint knaa who played well but I do know that Sailor Brown ex Charlton and Villa has ded,aged 95.
Must be the sunny weather- torpor has set in.
Who's going to the Fox on Friday?
Don't all rush you wimps.
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough?
i'll be there
Today I realise that my most frequently used phrase is, "slow down you cunt".
Wigan's Whelan says Ashley has no class. Cos he wears a Newcastle top in boardrooms! Is this the same Whelan who robs people blind producing and selling these sort of tops and whose chain is a rival to Ashley's? Bliddy hypocrite.
KNOBs,
Well done on Sunday. Our lads enjoyed the run-out again. It was a makeshift-makeshift side due to injuries/holidays/mothers day.
I managed to get 10 minutes at the end after playing 90 for the main Sunday side on the adjacent pitch! I saw your first goal by John, nevertheless, a wonderful move.
It was still only our 8th game in history, but we're enjoying it.
cheers, Statto.
Thank you Statto see you in the league next season?
I thought your right back was nippy, we were all filled with mirth when he kicked our Mark (accidentally) up his jacksy. They don't like it up em Captain M.......

Cheers Statto. Hopefully we can sort out the vets teams contacts over the next few months so you don't have to bother with teams like Goldcheats, though saying that they are usually in the league.

CHORUS
Snooker loopy, nuts are we, me and him and them and me,
We'll show you what we can do with a load of balls and a snooker cue.
Pot the reds, then screw back, for the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black.
Snooker loopy, nuts are we, we're all snooker loopy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now old Meo, we all know's got loads of dapper suits,
London-bred and he keeps his head, though he's got Italian roots,
Emotional when he keeps his cool, till he reaches the final,
But whether he wins he whether he don't: (Tony Meo) "I always pipe me eyeballs."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And our man Den, hours he's spent down the snooker hall,
On the old green baize, his mates seem amazed with his skills with a snooker ball,
But them long shots he never ever got, why, the old mind boggles,
But nowadays he pots the lot: (Dennis Taylor) "'Cos I wear these goggles."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Terry the Taff was born in a gaff in the valleys of the land of song,
And as the reds he puts to bed, he likes to sing along,
"If I win," he says with a grin, "it can only help me, can't it?"
I'll celebrate and buy another eight (Terry Griffiths): "Hairbrushes for me barnet."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But old Willie Thorne, his hair's all gorn, and his mates all take the rise,
His opponent said "Cover up his head, 'cos it's shining in my eyes,"
When the light shines down on his bare crown, it's a cert he's gonna walk it,
But it's just not fair giving off that glare - (Willie Thorne): "Perhaps I ought to chalk it."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve last year come very near to winning the snooker crown,
But he never got to put it on his ginger nut 'cos the black ball wouldn't go down,
His manager and all said "S*d that ball" but it helped him make his mind up,
Now he don't care who wins next year (Steve Davis): "'Cos he's got the rest of us signed up."
Bully was a lucky cunt!
