Got a bit mouthy second half- wondered where my headache came from. Still there's humanity for you- all shapes and sizes hurtling toward decrepitude and oblivion. But for the moment you are there. Knebworth Rec on a Sunday morning- centre of the universe, nothing else matters!
A poor first half saw Knobs get away with things in that the wide open route down the middle only led to a single goal being conceded. Four across the middle with the outer two not tucking in to crowd and help out in the centre and with Chris Cox following the lively young lad to both left and right led to numerous situations where Steve was alone to shore up the centre. Anyway they scored with one long ranger from such a situation and that was that. Knobs equalised with an opportunist, edge of the box punt looping over the keeper. Well done Chris Cox.
1-1 halftime, the second half would inevitably test their energy kicking uphill and so it proved.
Despite our attacks it felt uncomfortably close until Vinnie slotted home the fourth from a nice square ball from Jamie, with 10 minutes to go.
Immediately from the kick off at the start of the second half, Steve arrowed a ball forward to the sprinting Gavin
(great) and found him in acres of space in their penalty area. With goal of the season beckoning Gavin tried the outrageous lob and got it wrong somewhat (not so great), two touches and he was walking it in unchallenged. Still twas very enterprising.
Gavin was to cause them untold problems with his pace and he subsequently lashed in two goals for himself, the second and the third, the break where his shot found the net from the underside of the bar was very pleasing to the eye. Well to most other people's eyes, I couldn't see if it was in. No technology you see. It was obviously a goal, none of them disputed it!
At 3-1 they claimed hard done by when a penalty was refused them. Bloke does a drag back in a congested area and falls down complaining. At best he kicked into the innocent defender as he was weaving his magic (shite) and propels himself to the ground. At worst he got tired and fell over. (He was a livewire nevertheless and a decent "young" lad). After this the murmurrings on the right were rising hysterically, as John B and their man, the one with the humour of a coffin lid feuded verbally for the last half hour. There's history there.. zzzzzzzzz..... As long as it remains banter what's the problem? Another victory for the Knobs, where is this leading? Unbeaten for the rest of the season? Sandridge next week.
Hard to choose a mom- Vinnie excellent some dainty exquisite passes and some ennervating crunching tackles. Chris Griffiths read and played things well. Steve mixed the sublime with the ..... not so sublime. Gavin was a pest for them the whole game and Chris Cox had a very steady midfield game. Jamie hit one gorgeous left to right diagonal ball and everyone contributed. So take your pick.
After a hard afternoon's housework I was returning home after walking the dog around 7.30 and swaying down Watton Road came an inebriated Spurs fan returning from Knobs lunch time post match celebrations. "Hello John Boyle, neighbour and friend, whose Therfield friends call 'Big Nose' (true!!), what ails ye lad?" Och, Spurs got beat and apparently I must have missed that shit Nelly kicking Parker in the head. Well I missed a few things today!
Go thee well young John and may your headaches be small.
Toodle pip!

I thought Chris Cox had a very good game today and Vinnie has given us an excellent attacking edge. I'm going to look at the stats but I think we'll have a much better goals to game average at this stage of the season compared to previous years and I think much of that will be down to him. John Boyle still remains undefeated this season (in a proper KNOBS game) and this shows his obvious worth.
John Boyle a mouthy little niggler but plays wholeheartedly. must have the last word must have been awful to teach eh Gav?
You may have stolen my teamsheet but you couldn't stop me masterminding another glourious victory. You can get two and half litres of screen wash for one pound at Asda at the moment. Maybe we can chip in for some for Ron's glasses.
A maths teacher at my school once said to a little lad 'Even though you are small, you are still a waste of space' - still makes me chuckle to this day. John obviously isn't a waste of space...plays the game the right way (when he's stopped talking).
Can anyone tell me what happened last night in the station. All i can remember is getting out the taxi. I left my bag of beers there aswell. Please fill in the gaps.
Couldn't here what John and his new boyfreind were saying to each other but he should conduct himself better.
You had a pint and went home.
Think vinny was atleast 2 pints behind eveyone else yesterday. Poor showing if you ask me
Great tactics again by the gaffer to change the formation at half time. It made all the difference.
Yeah. 4-5-1 works but it's got to have the right personnel. Remember horses for courses.
John do you remember me and jessie chatting AT you when you returned home best for wear at 7.30?
Never seen you pissed before perhaps cos I've never been sober in your presence before.
Offside rule. First half their bloke running at us does not pass to his mate who the linesman and the crap sighted bystanders deem offside- no offside given.
The rules are clear though difficult to implement even for refs and linespersons at international standard. Little chance of good implementation at our shite level where cheats, blind people, and people who haven't read the rules abound.
Tend to follow the linespersons flag most of the time and no doubt ignore the nuances of was he was he not interfering with play. It's simpler.
As Clough used to say if he's not interfering with play what the fuck's he doing on the pitch!
Square pegs, round holes. Oppo were poor. Good team would have murdered us.
What do you know. Your most probably a round peg who wouldnt know a square hole if it wanked you off. The squad has been used to it's best ability. 3 out of 3 tells a story.
You only pick your favourites. The rest of us have to hope there are injuries or you have a falling out with one of your chosen ones.
Fuck off round peg, if your not playing its because your shit.
Trussells are selling squirrels (skinned) only £2.99!
Apparently they taste like er... squirrel!
Wouldn't mind a bit of beaver mind!
who is best Alistair or Brendan?
can they play together?
Yes they can, but not on a football pitch.
Is anyone interested in a couple of days away playing golf. I have found a deal which includes unlimited golf and 2 nights b&b at the Meyrick park GC in Bournemouth. The deal lasts up to 31st March. If you are interested mail me davjor4@aol.com and i will see how many numbers we get.
It has come to my attention that the club might be holding back information to suit individuals! We need disclosure and clarity on all aspects of this club ie who has cleaned the kits to date, as I believe there are individuals in the club who are being bullied and victimised. We need answers!
Beware the squirrels, they may contain nuts!
Has all the signing on fees been paid ?
I will be the judge of who has paid and who hasn't.
Too many cooks not enough squirrels.
The club is going to the foxes-
The Knob mafia strikes again
Don Jordan and his little sidekick Beaky Malone
Iv'e just woken up you silly fucker. Thats what happens when your unemployed you wake up when you want.
I have noticed that whenever I get picked on by big bloke another 4 or 5 of the oppo join in the abuse yet the knobs stay quiet, well apart from Kenny that is and Dandy if he ever plays. Are we too nice in leafy Hertfordshire and should I get some of the Camden boys to come along and play?
As an old teammate used to say 'one for all, and all for one'.
I'm there for you big nose
keep all the blether and banter for the blog and keep quiet on the pitch. not everyone agrees with each other re behaviour.
be warned!
between John fighting and Bully moaning i'm getting a headache
i wont let you down beaky
a team of pussies
Regardless of me being knocked to the ground on more than one occasion. Im there for you big nose any time any place any where. Apart from Sandy games as you don't turn up for those.
Christmas must be really over!
I agree and thats why i will not play again
Someone needs to stand up to Don Jordan or I will never get a game, and if he falls his little pal Beaky Malone will have no one to hide behind
Brace brace !
Who hasn't paid?
You will never get to know, they keep that kind of info in their dark halls. Be careful, don't interfere with their business or you will swim with the fish!
I heard the "management" had enough of Bully's lack of respect and were going to use him to prop up a flyover but got bored digging the hole
A JCB wouldn't of dug that cunt
He'd have moaned his way out of it.
TOGETHER EVERONE ACHIEVES MORE.
Together everyone achieves more.
