I should have posted twice, one for each game. That's the problem with double headers, eventually the games bleed into one game of soccer and I am at loss to sepearte them. I enjoyed being out for the weekend seeing the boys play twice but cringed at the result.
So.... Game 1 at Thornleigh was good. Great even. Again some efforts were great and some were disappointing. I won't name names but we could've really put a few more on them and the 2-1 scoreline doesn't do justice to how some of the guys played but then again it is flattering to a few of the slackers involved.
Everyone will end up talking about the game winner and less people talking about Dowd's 2 metre strike. It beat the keeper, was never gonna miss and just great positioning on his part. That was great til we let in a goal. It was just brain fart city that let the player past and he scored. It was crap but hey, it did the job for those fwits and the scopres remained level until there was 9 minutes to go. The boys or some of them were playing some really inspired football. Some attacking runs from midfield went unrewarded due to stray balls or in the most disappointing situations, non-existent balls.
It took one of the classiest strikes of the year to break the deadlock and it was beautiful. Reynolds was sitting about 20 yards out and summed up the situation with a breath then delivered the ball to the top right. The ball struck the bar and was knocked down across the line. The ref didn't blow the whistle but Rens was screaming "goal" like a retard and already walking back to halfway. Deluca then ran to the bouncing ball and walked it into the net. For some reason the goal was awarded to him and the game continued.
The last 9 minutes were tense and some solid defense saw the boys through and it was good enough for the second game of the season.
Today was shit. There were some good performances from some of the boys but the West Pennant Hills team were too good, slaming us 5-0. See I don't mind the odd game where we look off or when a couple of the boys don't put in 110% but when we do it front of the fans, I get upset. I especially get upset when Australia's greatest actor is out there watching us because he is a fan of our operation and what achieve. I get embarassed to think that he gives up his time to come and support his number one team and we turn in a performance that is laskluster at best. I wish he would've been there on Saturday to see Reynolds' strike so he can witness the beauty that we can achieve.
Maybe you're happy to read that the most promising actor from our great land witnessed his team cop a 5-0 hammering in Sydney Confidential but I certainly don't want to hear from Ros Reines that I'll never see Andrew Telford grace our screens again because he was so distraught about staying in Australia from his team turning out a performance not fit for our number ticket holder. That's right, I'm not the number one ticket holder, he is!
Hopefully we can get over this form slump. I'm not angry at you guys......just disappointed!
P.S. Deluca's injury could be worse than expected. His Gynecologist at first thought he'd flushed out all the sand but has discovered that he ripped his skirt as well. Now when he goes out to play bingo with Ethel, he'll have to wear slacks and a blouse.
P.P.S. Anyone see Werner and Rens collide? It was like two Hippo's bathing. DISGUSTING!
P.P.P.S. Biggest loss ever was Frank. I am sure the boys didn't even wanna play after that.
