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

Old Minchendenians 2 Knobs 2

A good game. A fair result? Well I'm biassed I thought we should have won- comfortably. The lads weren't too happy with their linesman and not only for the goal he managed to get disallowed in the first half, rifled in by John Twigg from a Chris C pass. Chris allegedly handled!
In fairness they finished the stronger and perhaps our profligacy in finishing might show we were a tad lucky in the end.
Darren A had a fine game in midfield in the Bully supporting position and the back four were solid throughout the first half.
0-0 at half time and the innovation of oranges. Brendan of the fucked knee replaced Twiggy. Gouty Gavin went up front and on we went. A lovely little passage of play of John to Chris who cutely turned it round the corner for Gavin to finish decisively. 1-0. They equalised from an uncontested move from the right.
Paul was galloping freely when he was shot from behind and Twiggy immediately replaced him. It was a ping in the calf followed by tears and retching. The first aid kit, introduced this morning went unused, God knows what all those little packages are for, a heroin stash probably. Alistair diagnosed a mere strain, no sympathy from these medics.
They shortly afterwards took the lead when people stopped for a throw, not given, and the big lad outpaced Chris, who was stuck in the mud, to slip home.
Straight from the kick off Bully lofted left to Gavin who hurtling forwards shot accurately from 25 yards. 2-2.
We missed a few. Names of culprits? Am nae si cruel.
Gavin I thought was assaulted and battered to the ground for a penalty which was not given. I would have given it, of course I would.
Nevertheless well done the young ref, gets a wee bit too much intimidation I believe, but he stayed the course.
I remained on the line, flagless, but was rewarded with a win on the dominoe card, second week running.
Oh aye and Newcastle hammered Arsenal 1-0 at the Emirates.

I don't think you have given my second goal a beautiful enough description. I did a step-over!! A step-over!!! And a shimmy. All in slow-mo but that's not the point. And I kicked the ball further than I've ever kicked it before. I have told my little boy about it at least 3 times since, once using the condiments on the kitchen table. Oooo I feel revived like Torres. More goals to come. I can feel it in my bones. It's all about confidence isn't it? Bring on MDNA or whatever they are called. Reserve the No. 7 shirt - it's obviously lucky.

carroll dont you take my heart away said...

But well shimmied and kicked and see you at the rec sunday next, loads of tickets sold- mostly to gullible 3 year olds.

What's happened to Brendan he's worse than Ron.

Dear Fernando said...

You have kicked the ball further. Earlier in the second half when you missed that sitter of an open goal!

Bully said...

Does that mean Gav will play two games in a row?

where is my hair going said...

A shimmy here and a shimmy there, that 2nd goal was pure magic.
Sorry but the number 7 shirt is back with Millsy next week.

bollocking big bob said...

Too big a game for millsy- it's Gav the man of the future.
Will Ron play in his 66th year?
Probably not you ageists. Pity you are not that good

Debbie7 said...

Got some shower gel in the village chemist and no you can't have any.

onlooker said...

from what i've seen there is not much quality on show and just a load of slow old timers going through the motions, well that is apart from that really fast young player you have, Andy i think?

Mens Liberation said...

Hardly ever available- boot on the back we think!

Debbie7 said...
