Not outplayed, far from hammered, Knobs suffered their first defeat of 2012 at the feet and lungs of not so old Old Accies. A bright, sunny morning probably enjoyed by all apart from the result.
Neat football by both sides promised a proper footballing occasion and so it proved but they had that little bit more energy to roll out over the 90 minutes. An early change in midfield took place when Chris Cox succumbed to a calf strain. This probably led to too open a game without Chris's buzzing presence. Still Knobs took the lead when a free kick was given after a thrusting run by Ali was illegally stopped. Phil's free kick rocketed off the bar and was neatly tucked away by Darren new boots. They equalised softly when a penalty was given for a possibly harsh handball against Jamie. End to end stuff then they took the lead when a break was converted by their hairy winger. The most hair seen on a Vet for many a year and not a gray one among them- suspicious! Immediately from the kick off Knobs equalised with the goal of the season for cheek and execution. Kick off to Ali who it rolled back to Phil who scored from his own half with a phemenal punt over the keeper languishing near the edge of his area.
They scored a third on a break from our right touchline when a quick throw left three of our players ahead of the ball. First an excellent head off the line by Chris, I think, stalled them but they quickly netted when unchallenged. Half time 3-2.
Second half we threatened frequently and ill fortune denied us. A John cross shot hit the post and other shots were scuffed or larruped wide. An unfortunate keeping error led to their fourth. Sufficient to say it will enter the annals of Knob's part time goalkeeper howlers. Yet still we threatened but seemed to be running out of steam. Dave came out of goal to beef things up and Joel cracked one in to make it 4-3. Near the end they broke and from a resulting cross their man lashed in an unstoppable fifth. John had a neat snap header just wide from a fierce Joel cross and Dave might have headed in near the end but seemed to lose his bearings.
The pub was quiet. People raced home to watch the footy, Spurs were 2-0 up and some Knobs were purring. What was the final score by the way?
Taraa!

Fantastic goal by big Phil and please note that it was only made possible due to the quality of the pass back to him by Beaky not Ali!
Where is my options.
Your all wankers
I know Dave moans about me but i go away and look what happens!!!
i'll punch his fucking lights out when i get back.
What do John Boyle, Barry Manilow and Phil Thompson have in common?
Being a diver myself, I have to stick up for Gareth Bale. It was poetry in motion.
I completely agree.
Muff diver?
Jimmy Durante- now there was a beak!
you missed bully and gavin and andy. no pace.
your right they have no pace.
hey that cyrano de bergerac now he had a beak.
Its not all about having pace, Accies had no one with the pace of gavin or andy yet scored 5 past us. Steve was missed as he does not overdo things and passes well.
Being back at work and also masterminding the football on Sundays has not allowed me much time to surf the web. After a 5 minute session on a porn site last night I visited my old favourite Asda. They have Bird's Brandy flavour sauce, 500g for only 5p. I popped in this morning and they have some dated best before Feb 2013. I stocked up for Xmas!
Really it wasn't just pace on Sunday but that would have helped. We had several chances not taken and some ill fortune. Two of the goals, the marginal penalty- I know several vets home refs who wouldnt have given it- and Dave's keeping error meant that in effect they were GIVEN two goals and on the day we could muster only 3 ourselves- all good goals which couldn't be defended.
Some hard luck they were hardly better in truth they weren't.
Somehow they beat Garston 3-0!
You make your own luck.
Is there any chance of including some offers from a better class of shop such as Waitrose or M&S as Asda may be fine for the Stevenage oiks but not much use to those of us that reside in Knebworth.
Fuck off you posh cunt
No need for that language. This is a public forum and my kids can view this site.
don't say that word or I'll tell Alistair, he knows what to do to you bladder boys.
I completely agree. Fuck off you posh cunt
I wish people would stop posting in my name.
I completely agree.
When is the squad announces this week? Who is in?
Redknap's skeletons still in the cupboard, temporarily protected by the climate of the Leveson Inquiry, so it's Pearce for manager at least he's only an old fashioned racist National Fronter.
What are you on about?
I thought a little bit of serious banter would be a little beyond the usual contributors to this comment vehicle- is fuck off you cunting wankers a tad more comprehensible?
fuck off you posh cunting wankface arsehole stuffer
I am a plank
Dave cost us the game, the bloke with the big nose told me
The only thing happy about Sundays game was the penalty spot
Radical idea for Sunday, when we pass the ball lets pass it to one of OUR players. We need someone in midfield who can do this
Dont ask steve he's shit at passing
i am available sunday
this blog has no class.
i am a moron, can i join in?
If you want Dave
Nicer caption on photo John, don't like sexual innuendo.

I'm appalled I've been dropped for disciplinary reasons. I only had a sneaky peek. Is that in the constitution? This is manager is one tough cookie.
Your lucky i don't suspend you for the rest of the season. If i catch you outside my house again i will get a court order against.
