Glad I was ref and not part of this debacle. Steve glad he was watching and not part of this horror show- not that he would necessarily have made much difference. It was crap defending that undid us. Some of our football was good on a heavy, claggy pitch, far superior to theirs who scored from their four 'chances'. Honest!
Our missed chances were legion. We came back from 2-0 down. A defence splitting pass by their influential midfielder was smashed in from an angle, then some robotic defending culminated in Brendan chesting over the line- where was his scissor kick? Or indeed lift his leg and any old kick? After a catalogue of misses Gavin decided to go it alone and finished with a rasper.
Another fine attack saw us with an open goal and even players in support followed by a real fluffer from which they broke away and had the ball in our net within ten seconds! 3-1.
A penalty awarded after a hatchet attempt by their giant redwood on Gavin was converted by Gavin himself, 3-2. They were a little disconcerted claiming it was outside the box. Bill assured me it was a good two yards inside. Confirmation of my dimishing acuity of vision. I actually heard one of their mob say it was inside and then because Gavin didn't dive but tried to continue, chance lost, it was claimed it wasn't a penalty. You can't win, apparently the ref's a "cheat", a "wanker" and a "cheating twat".
Half time 3-2.
All Knobs in the second half and the misses kept on coming until a lovely move saw Gavin square for Matt to exquisitely sidefoot home from 10 yards. The heat, such as it was, went out of the battle and it looked like a crap fought draw until a punt upfield led to a race between our ailing keeper Mark (knickname 'Ping') and their cube sized young centre forward. Youth won out and he belted a helluva rocket in for an angled winner. Credit where credit's due.
John Twigg took over in goal and kept his second clean sheet in succession. Please note.
Steve received his letter from Knebworth Parish and took it in good heart- put yer litter out in Watton Road- starting this week.
A good turn out in the Station where the food was minimalist and tardy.
Who missed the most and the easiest today?
Cheating wanker bastard

Not that I want to point the finger but I'm glad that the defence is sharing some of the blame. If we had won 3-1, the missed opportunities wouldn't have been such a big issue. We need to defend as a team as well. That means being aware of where everyone is on the pitch. When they scored their breakaway goal we had about 7 in their penalty box!! Still in shock. Mainly about the food situation. Get Dave up front! Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy.
Agreed. Crap defending cost us dear. The profligacy at the other end in a sense becomes secondary.
Certain defenders shoul'nt go past the half way line as it stops others from converting chances. Agree about Dave up front Silky,Silky,Silky.
Fuck off Dave you played shite away at Therfield.
one lucky game and he thinks he's Pele- had away and puff a fag.
Dave J for President
Yeah Alistair does nothing.
Dave J up front on Sunday, it must be done, the poll doesn't lie, he's the best, far better than the other shite
Too right. Dave all the way. He's the new Rooney...if a bit older, bit fatter and a bit crapper. Woah!!! Go Dave.
Hail dave j, the white pele
Would be a good idea to put Dave up front,it should reduce the amount of penalties you give away. You could find a spot for Brendan too that should stop him adding to his own goal tally.
Roy's back.
Dave's left back, sort of where he can perform. His chance will come. Remember Therfield.
Mike Lisle is back for next week.
What a load of shit. Is our team run by a dictator or just a dick.
if the management don't make the right call about davey j and play him up top then they're a bunch of cunts
Wish i got as many votes as Dave.
