Graeme Duncan scored a nice goal. It did get a bit of help from the keeper but it speared in at the near post. At that stage it was 2-1 and we did have a brief attack. What happens next doesn't really bear repeating (what goes on tour stays on tour and all that). I must say the anonymous Maroon who keeps talking retirement is starting to make more and more sense. We were a sore and sorry bunch and a lot of the joy we experienced last season seems to have gone.
Anyway, none of us could land a pass in the first period. They scored from a massive shove on our defender at a corner, and then probably the best goal I've seen in 4 years. A 35 metre screamer into the top corner that never looked like missing. So far out was he, I had time to turn to the defender I was next to and say: "Oh what a goal that is".
They played very well. Good short passing. We're rubbish at that - always have been. We've always been good at winning tackles through Paul, Shaly and Jon S and lumping balls into the channels for speedy wingers to bring down and send across. We were rubbish at that on Saturday as well.
How much did we miss Dave D in the 15 minutes he took after the start to tie up his boots?
Shane looked like he was in a cartoon, his legs pumping away in vain trying to rein in their fast striker. At one stage Shane's there grabbing the guy's shirt, slapping at his waist but the guy just sped on past.
Ant tried to play a 10m pass. It went 2m. Th10 had a simple 1-2 with Dave C down the left touchline. TH10 smashed it miles into touch. Abject.
