Blacks 7 v Reds 4 – An alternative view from H
On a cloudy and somewhat miserable morning the game for those less able through injury or age was generally played in a relaxed and friendly manner, other than one person who will remain nameless.
The Blacks throughout the match interpassed the ball better than the Reds,, consequently in the process taking an early 3-0 lead with goals from ‘Fish’, Graham ‘W’ and Kev.
Bambi then reduced the score to 3-1 with an excellent opportunist goal past ‘H’ in goal, much to the latterd disgust.
Obviously being sin binned only minutes earlier for vociferously complaining that a Blacks player should have being penalisedI did not put this ‘intrepid’ warrior’ off his game. This notwithstanding that the referee had blown up for this offence seconds earlier. Typical Bambi!
Alvin then scored a brace of goals making it 5-1 1 for the Blacks before Ton pulled one back for the Reds making it 5-2.
By now the Blacks were playing some excellent one touch football and looked like getting a cricket score! Graham then got his second for the Blacks making it 6-2.
Then a ‘miss hit’ cormer from Bambi enabled Ton to get his second for the Reds with a superb volley for the goal of the match, quickly followed by his hat-trick goal. Score now 6-4 to Blacksks, , game on for the last ten minutes.
The Blacks then got a penalty for a Red player encroaching his goal area. ‘H’ then calmly placed the ball past his arch rival ‘Keef’ in the Refs goal, despite the latter typically trying to put the scorer off. Making the score 7-4 and putting the result beyond a Reds comeback in the dying minutes.
Man of the match undoubtedly Ton with his superbly taken hat-trick, even though as always playing on only one leg.
For the Blacks Kev 🌳 and ‘Fish’ had solid games as did Sean and the ‘Milky Bar Kid for the Reds, the latter making a popular yet rate appearance..
Everyone then retired to the balcony for some much needed refreshments.
And Seans take on the same game!
It’s was another gloomy, overcast windy morning on the La costa ventosa y nublada. Trump had survived another fake assassination attempt. My wife is talking about moving back to Iran if the sun doesn’t come out soon. There is the issue of dodging the rockets but she argues at least it would be sunny. In the mix of all this turmoil 12 brave men ventured onto the pitch at Polideportivo to test their wits, physical endurance and whatever skills they have left.
Reds started with yours truly between the sticks. Our Keef and Wrexham’s finest export at the back. Steve, Milky Boy, fresh from sunny Scotland via Estapona in the middle. Up front was the crack team of the Dutchman on stilts, Ton and his ever positive accomplice the Bramster.
Blacks started with the big man and London’s Jellied eel eating champion. In defense H and we have the evidence of an assault on Mr Positive reinforcement Bambi as he lay defenseless on the mate. Pete fish maurading down the wing. David owl the Sheffield wizard in the middle. Kev inspector Nuevo shoulder on the right. Rounding off the Black’s side was Alvin I am not running it’s just my short legs moving fast.
The game kicked off and within minutes some passing movements between David owl, Alvin and Kev found David owl in front of goal and despite Milky Boy sacrificing his white body David opened the scoringblasting his shot into the net. Within moments Blacks struck again and again it was that man Dave the Owl. Things were looking bleak for Reds as Kev ventured forward to score a 3rd for Black’s. In the 2nd period Reds finally seemed to be getting to grips with the fact it was a lost cause. Under the stewardship of Keef some passing was attempted and even a threat on Black’s goal was made. But that man Dave the owl with what seemed a weak enough shot rolled through Milky boys hands and legs 5-0 Blacks. At halftime Reds regrouped a with some organizational advice from Our Keef Reds began to show their potential. The ball was played out of the back found The Dutch Stilt boy on the wing. His cross found the Bamster who squeezed his side 45 between H and Fish and scored a poachers goal. It was shortly there after that one of the more shocking incidents occurred on a walking football pitch. The Bamster struggling to get to his feet, like a boxer after a count of 10 was set upon by the boot of H. Photographic evidence obtained by Wonder ballboy and photographer Frank. Personally this reporter believes H should have put more effort into the boot. Bambi eventually got to his feet again and continued to yell positivity at his teammates.
In the final 1/4 Reds made a full on assault to reduce the deficit. Stilts boy scored a wonder goal plucking the ball out of the sky with his foot and guiding it into the net. He followed this with two more goals to bring his count to 3. The Black in the meantime added to their tally through a side foot shot from the Eel eating champion and his 2nd a big toe blast into the top corner. Late in the game with Reds pushing forward Black had a break away and Our Keef was caught scurrying back as David the Owl beared down on goal. The shot was blocked I am sure by an accidental hand ball but a penalty was awarded by a impartial referee who happened to be playing for Blacks, Fish. Who had taken over reffing duty from the other impartial referee on Blacks team H. The game ended 7-4 Blacks. We were all delighted to have survived another Monday morning game of semi walking football and retreated to the lounge. It was noted that players and officials seem to be spending less time partaking of liquid refreshments after games now. Is this a sign of maturity or significant others demanding players get their ass home at a reasonable time and sober. Until next time.
