Andres overhead this sparkling conversation when he wandered over near the figtree changeroom
"We have to be careful these blokes are comin second"
"Nah crap these blokes are comin last"
From another "the only good thing about this team is their blog, its the best in the comp."
So there you go, we get credit for something we didnt even set up.
A nice afternoon for football greeted us on arrival at figtree, and from what we could see the biggest crowd of the season. Shame they were there watching the u14-a's figtree vs tarrawanna bitch fest, the crowd trading insults as the boys hacked each other to pieces. The future bodes well for the code.
After 10 minutes we were one down, with the whites again a magnet for goals that are more arse than class. The figtree right back, a dead ringer for the photographer that takes pictures of naked kids (sicko) gets a back pass and takes the mother of all hail marys from 35 metres out. Where did it go? 90% of the time they go straight up in the air, 9% fly harmlessly over the sideline. But not for the whites. This one percenter goes up, curls, dips, forces goalie glenn to pull off a great one hander as it goes for the top left hand corner, then their big forward, too tired to run back on side, taps in from a metre, five metres offside.
Our response was sheer class. After a nice move up the right Grant pops in a well weighted cross into the box to an unmarked mr21, who rises 10cm off the ground to volley into the bottom left corner. We decided to initiate 2 more into the frustration that is being a whites striker, and generally gave everyone a good run. Mitty brought his own unique style of football to the dancefloor, and Kirk and Trev great to see them back after long injury layoffs. Movember isnt till later in the year Kirk, or are we auditioning for pornos?
1-1 at halftime. AB12 had a running battle with the figtree no.10, aka Santo Cilauro. Santo thought he was quicker than everyone else and didnt appreciate being run down a few times, so a bit of lopping of the ankles occurred and a few evil looks, then back to the football. Both wished each other a safe trip home.
The second half was tight, both teams making plenty of subs (not always the ones yelled from the other side of the field) and not giving an inch. Doug, Phil and Jon played impressively in defence and GlenC is really in the mix for player of the year, depending now soon he gets over a little niggling injury. The last 20 minutes were more open and then a long through ball split jon and hucky at the back for the figtree no15 to score. We should of equalised when Hucky put through an exquiste touch for AB12, but the keeper just beat him to it.
So in all a one million percent improvement on last week and no own goals. Mitty has now taken the most ridiculous hat prize from the SteveH effort in the derby at shellharbour. Not much of the season left to get a win fellas.....

That ridiculous hat prize will be mine...just you wait Mitty! I have a doozy that will shock all of you, and no Kirk, I did not buy it at the local adult shop. By the way, was that you in "Who's Ya Daddy 3"?
ReplyDeleteBy the sounds of it, you were the good team on Saturday, and we were the crap one...
ReplyDeleteJust for the record I didnt say that the only thing good was your Blog (albeit I guess it might have sounded like that) it was something along the lines of "They maybe bottom but they have a great blog site" and you do - Well done guys you seem to remember what the "game" is all about. Looking forward to this Saturday.
ReplyDeletePS - Whatever drugs your graph man is on can I buy some?!?!
That's the trouble with blogs Mr Anonymous. Too many cowboys out there thinking they're sports journalists.
ReplyDeleteAnd please don't judge our whole Masters setup by how nice the Whites are. The Maroons are so grouchy and illtempered that not even the saints at Helensburgh had a nice thing to say about us..
Re: "Sports Journalists" - Not everyone can be as good as Stuart Hall.
ReplyDeleteRe "Hogs" - Yeah right..like they would know.......
ppphhhtttt. Splitting hairs. Surely some leniency is allowed as I try to cover the fact we have lost 7 straight with side stories.
ReplyDeleteWhites for the flag in 2012 (a 60th present for Trev).
Ive been reading your stuff, and AB12 maybe a little pessimistic. Your white team is only a few lucky kicks away from winning...remember that.
ReplyDeleteI know we rip each other to shreds on the field, but we also motivate each other before and after the games.
My advice AB12...put the fear of Allah into the oppostion with a good propaganda campaign. It works for the Maroons!
By the way, 57% said we were the best...thanks guys. Then again, only 19 votes were counted.
ReplyDeleteAB speaking of correcting the record Mike Charles made the cross to mr 21 for our goal not me altho I would have liked to have claimed it!
ReplyDeleteApologies to Mick C. The Dr does good things on the pitch, although we did learn central midfield is not his position.
