Countdown to next game at El Canadon

Well it really was a bit like turning out in the UK this morning. Low clouds, the permanent threat of rain and shivering players. Or was that just the Blues quivering with fear at the Pinks line up?

Anyway, after a bit of a struggle we got 10 players, welcoming back John Campbell from the wilderness…….well, Glasgow!!

Both teams started strongly but the deadlock was broken by a shot from Alan that went straight between Ces’s legs. Obviously not a Soccer AM viewer or he would have known the advice from Brad Bobley “stay clever – keep ’em together”.

Soon after a quick low shot caused similar problems for medium Chris with disastrous consequences. Poor Chris had dislocated his shoulder on the post and had to go to hospital with Dave S kindly offering to take him. Speedy recovery Chris.

This resulted in a strange 4 a side game with lots of goals and a little bit of controversy. The blues were coping with the rule changes better and benefitted from an illegal goalkeeper change to get a penalty. Up stepped Darren thinking should I place this in the corner? Or should I do a subtle jink over the keeper? None of that gubbins for Daz as he blasted a powerful “toe wanger” past the keeper.

The final score is a little difficult to recall but after 5 mins of extra time (thanks Gustavo) it was agreed to retire to the bar to discuss the rules of WFS 4 a side. It may have been 4 all but who cares!

This proved to be a little complicated and we were left feeling like a Johnny Nash song **see below if you can’t guess it.

So that just left the following for everybody to contemplate over a Place in the Sun later:

1 – can you change the goalkeeper in 4 a side without telling the opposition?
2 – what is the keeper actually called – fly, roving..?
3 – is there ever a game where Adrian doesn’t moan?
4 – is Neil really growing his hair and beard so he can earn some extra cash in Miramar’s Xmas grotto over the festive period?

Anyway, that’s it and for anybody not asleep by now the song is – * ” There Are More Questions Than Answers ”
