JustMike Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 A selection of badly taken photos...damn phone camera
The9 Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 actually i think it was The9's shot i got my arse in the way off late in the second half Did me a favour with that one, was headed for the corner flag.
The9 Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 More stats needed for the whole story! Like the9 had more shots than the away team! Good game and a laugh. Cheers lads Probably about right, I had 7 that I can remember, only 2 inside the box, but they were the worst ones. It definitely showed that I hadn't played for 6 months.
Bwanamakubwa Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 We should definitely have another go at it. Think a few of us looked rusty having not played for a while, something backed up by the legs complaining today.

Think a few of us looked rusty having not played for a while, something backed up by the legs complaining today. I stood on the ball twice in midfield, I think that's doubled my total for my entire footballing career previously. Ground was a tad uneven in places. As for "legs complaining", I am taking about 20 seconds to stand up and even longer to get upstairs.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 Crap Sorry lads for letting you down!! Had a car accident on friday evening so no transport and a screwed up leg looks like everone had a laugh !!!!
TijuanaTim Posted 28 April, 2013 Posted 28 April, 2013 Sincere thanks to one and all, especially Steve and Rabbit. Came home under very difficult circumstances and the game was a terrific experience and a welcome distraction. A privilege to play with and against you all. Cheers.
Baj Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Pitch was awful. 6 yards box drops by about a foot! That would be why my gentle tap-in (and I wasn't the one that was offside, according to the ref), ended up as me standing on the ball... well... it still went in.... ...notice no one mentioned I had one one of the only shots on target in the game with my first touch... pffff

Rabbit was the one offside, if you want someone to blame...
Webby Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Number 8 home team, having switched allegiance before kick off. I liked TT's quote when free on the edge of the box and asking for a pass "make an old man happy" Dave, you played in this? Is your leg back to fitness now?
Baj Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Rabbit was the one offside, if you want someone to blame... Thanks, but in retrospect, I've never wanted to have a goal ruled as disallowed so much in my life...
The9 Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 I feel like I'm still playing, every time I look at a staircase or stand up. FWIW I didn't think Rabbit was offside either, and Baj definitely wasn't.
Minty Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 FWIW I didn't think Rabbit was offside either, and Baj definitely wasn't. You're 50% right.
TijuanaTim Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Just arrived back in LA, gotta say my happiest memory of the trip home!! Some pretty impressive performances, including, but not exclusive to all four centre backs, the two goalies and Mr Smirkin, who improved he sobered up ;-) Our two CBs had to be at their best to stifle the threat of Scott/Rabbit/Steve, we rode our luck and did a good old Italian 'smash and grab'.
Summers Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Thanks for the game guys, Enjoyed myself, shame my competitive streak ruined the rest of the day for me, I was in a right mood with the missus! Summers (GK Home)
The9 Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I made two passes I was happy with in the entire match. And one shot (the one that was narrowly wide of the left post from outside the box). Guh.
Summers Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I think my kicking was more accurate than your passing THAT'S saying something! ;-)
The9 Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I think my kicking was more accurate than your passing THAT'S saying something! ;-) Your kicking was good. My passing wasn't inaccurate, it was just very well spaced out, i.e. I can only remember 3 coming off in 75 minutes on-pitch and only even attempting a couple of others. This is not normal, even for "standing still" me, v3.0. Ah well.
Bwanamakubwa Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I made two passes I was happy with in the entire match. And one shot (the one that was narrowly wide of the left post from outside the box). Guh. Given that we ruled in the wonder strike from Baj, can we count this strike in to the side netting as an equaliser?? I'm calling it a draw
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I made two passes I was happy with in the entire match. And one shot (the one that was narrowly wide of the left post from outside the box). Guh. Yeah, I know the feeling, wasnt massively happy with my performance, couldnt get a grip of the midfield nor string enough passes or shoot accurately enough. I actually came home not annoyed with the result butmy completely abject performance. And Ihave had a pretty decent season in the centre of midfield in the top sunday league. Still, I enjoyed it, whens the next one ?
stevegrant Posted 30 April, 2013 Author Posted 30 April, 2013 Still, I enjoyed it, whens the next one ? Watford away, June 8th
The9 Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Watford away, June 8th Had my MRI today, see the Consultant end of May. Wonder if she'll tell me not to play football again. On the bright side the knee's been a right mess since Saturday as planned.
