The whites have accumulated more points in 5 games this year than all of last year. A free flowing game that could have had a much higher scoreline, Jamberoo came with an attacking attitude which the Whites matched.
This will be short again, 10 minutes till tea and goin to see Mr Shuffles tomorrow so no chance to do it then. Mr21 and The Lost A bagged the goals both sides of halftime, Phil could have had goal of the year if not for the crossbar and Kirk definitely has miss of the year so far, a metre out with no one in front and misses the ball.
The defence was rock solid, Jamberoo didnt score till the 85th minute and took a cracking header from a corner to beat Dennis, an absolute standout in goal. There wasnt a bad player on the park, Noodles and Goalie Glenn solid in defence, Handball workman-like, Big Al challenged hard, the eco-warrior responded to internal team abuse and new striker Jono impressed and had a great chance to open his account, just took that fraction of a second too long in a one on one.
On to figtree next week, looking for another 3 points. If anyone wants to add anymore, be my guest.

Mr 21 - Les
ReplyDeleteThe lost A - Keith, family lost the A from Macintosh in the 1700's, like he lost his mobile phone
Noodles - Doug
Eco warrior - SteveH
Thinking the hip replacement for Kirk and something about hair bands for Phil.
Mr Shuffles - that baby elephant at taronga zoo.
How did I get 'Eco-Warrior'? Group hugs and tribal chanting has always been there amongst the brave macho men of football and its supporters...
ReplyDeleteI admit I have a solar PV cells, am vegetarian and ride to work on principle. I also walk to the games and have a small footprint...but does that make me an eco-warrior? What is an eco-warrior anyway..lets ask google!
The term eco-warrior is a self description for environmental activist that adopts a 'hands on' effort to save or salvage a plot of land, or to advance some ecological ideology. In the UK it was the media that coined the term in the '90s, a label that many people actively taking ecological direct action resisted, for philosophical reasons.
A common symbol of an eco-warrior is the Eco Warriors Flag.
OK maybe I am one then...
Doug.
ReplyDeleteI am thickskinned, some say like Mr Shuffles ,BUT Noodles was a misplaced nickname at the start of last year by a moron.
Just like everone in our team was either Mike,John or mate at the start of last season
Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) it has no relevance to me,any of my family or historical note.
So please no further use.
The formerly Mr.Noodles.
Sorry Les, after viewing ricardo villa goal there are definite comparisons with your strike. Please add to match report....
ReplyDeletejust before halftime the whites pressed forward again, with AB winning a corner through a never give up attitude of chasing the ball to the by line and kicking the ball into the jamberoo defender. Rushing up for the corner, handball Dave notices that jamberoo are slow getting back and taking positions. In a magnificent piece of pre-emptive vision the short corner is called for. AB obliges, handball beats a defender and gives a precision pass to mr21, who is standing a metre inside the box, hands on knees gasping for air after jogging up from inside the jamberoo quarter. Realising this prime chance may never come again, mr21 walks 2 steps and toe-pokes between two defenders from 3 metres away. Whites 1-0 up.
Handball and 'precision' in the same sentence...my Mum would be so proud! One hell of a toe-poke Mr21!
