FAREWELL.........FOR NOW

I have decided to give footie a break as the old knee is not good, which unfortunately means the end of the blog show for now. This was a difficult decision but I kept turning up to bolster numbers and hobble around for 20 mins and then regretting it the next day. Football was becoming like a Saturday night (pre marriage) enjoy it while your out but regretting it the next day!

However now the goal machine is back there is no more need for me!

Here are some interesting facts:

Most recorded games won: Rupert 17, Badge and Steve C 12. Least games won James, 3 and Paul B 5.

Most M of M awards: Andy and Rich 5, Badge 3

Team of the year: GK: Rupert (nobody else keen)
DEF: James, Steve C, Paul B, Heath
MID: Andy, Rich, Jimmer, Rock
STR: Badge, Stew

Thanks to all the people who have regularly made the effort this year, this has probably been the most testing year as numbers are concerned as injuries and other commitments have taken their toll on some key regular figures. Keep going lads the institution of Tuesday night must live on.

BOB SPARKLES ON BONFIRE EVE

Match Report 4.11.08

Colours: Stew W, Stew, Paul B, James, Paul P, Rupert, Badge, Heath (2nd Half)

Yellows: Rob, Bob, Andy, Steve C, Rock, Am, Jimmer, Heath (1st Half)

Score: Colours 7-10 Yellows

On some days Bob can't hit a cows arse with a banjo, usually when he is in my team, but other days everything he hits flies in. Today was his day and unfortunately I was in goal for most of his thunderbolts. In the end I lost count of the amount he scored but it was at least five.

In fact the Yellows football was far more entertaining than the weak firework displays going on around us. After a slow start the Yellows were soon rocketing ahead as Bob, Am, Rob and Jimmer caused all sorts of problems in the Colours defence giving poor Paul and James the runaround. In no time they were 6-2 up and cruising, before Heath changed sides.

The Colours showed some decent flashes of good football and got back into the game when Stew and Badge started to click. At 6-4 it was game on, but back came the sparkle boy Bob with a cracking effort giving the hapless Rupert no chance.

However the game was not dead and the Colours had another surge coming back to 7-6, but just as they thought they could pull the impossible off the Yellows denied them with some late goals to make it a perfect 10, Badge's late effort was scant consolation.

Tried to get a few firework puns in a and look I did not mention Andy's name for once....bugger.

Man of the Match - Had to be sparkle boy Bob, great effort today, please, please play like that when we are on the same team.
