Fezs findings

Game 2 was a 5 side game which ebbed and flowed with a hint of controversy 😳 some swings and roundabouts..

Teams

Reds Eddie, Darren, Trevor, Colin & Dave 🚖

Blacks Keith, Fez, Dave 🦊, Alvin & Dave 🦉

Referee John

The Reds came out of the blocks like a rocket.. I had said to Colin he was going to Star ⭐ as he looked in good shape and he did just that … he started in defence blocking everything the blacks tried to do..

He then stepped forward and set the game a light with a great finish.. 1-0 Reds..

Playing the better football Darren holding the ball up and playing in Dave, Colin and Trev it was looking like the Blacks were in for a spanking !

Alvin with his work boots on put a toe in to the penalty area which was spotted by John… well as discussed in the break 12 inches were put (commonly known as a FOOT) into the penalty area.. Eddie rushed out to take it.. But Dave 🚖 dispatched it before Eddie could get over the half way line.. 2-0 Reds…

Daren put Colin through on goal and smash 3-0 Reds… Colin’s stock rising and on for a hatrick ! He continued to play what can be best described as his best game looking like a mix of Van Dijik, Le Tissier and Kev Phillips (they all played for Southampton)…defence, midfield and forward such was his game !

The blacks started to get a foot hold in the game.. Fez took advantage of a weak back pass and slide the ball passed Eddie.. 3-1

The Reds were now on the back foot.. Dave 🦉& Dave 🦊 playing some good football getting the ball to Fez who played in Alvin who hit the back of the net… 3-2 game well and truly on..

Fez drew the teams level turning Trev and hitting the bottom corner 3-3 !

Next Fez squared the ball to Dave 🦊 who smashed one passed Eddie and the Blacks were in front for the first time 4-3…

Then the moment of CONTROVERSY Alvin hit a long ball which was called into question being over height, after Fez pulled it from the air, took a touch and dispatched it passed Eddie.. Much discussion but the goal stood and the Blacks were now 5-3 up..

With the game stretched the blacks took advantage Fez right place, right time added another two taking his tally to 5.. and the Blacks into a commanding 7-3 lead, swings and roundabouts..

To their credit the Reds continued playing some good football Darren, Colin, Dave 🚖 with the ball landing at the feet of the Geordie maestro and he directed it passed Keith 7-4…

What happened next we are still scratching our head about.. Dave 🚖 through on goal with Keith to beat from no where out of a 🦊 hole in front of Keith The 🚖 poked the ball towards the goal and Dave 🦊 back healed the ball nutmegging Keith 🤷🏻‍♂ for an own goal, best discription I can give sober… 7-5.

And that folks is how the game ended Blacks 7 – Reds 5.

Another game full of passion, skill, luck, good refereeing and a hint of controversy topped off with a few beers and some great craic 🍻

Marleys Ghost report

For Thursdays game 1 we introduce ghost writing, we’re nothing if not adventurous with our match reports.

With Colin promoted to game 2 which Fez will be reporting on (I’ll be interested to learn how I did) Chameleon Sean and Website Brian away it is left to me to take the words of H and Graham and write a truly reflective account of a game I didn’t witness, as follows:

Hero and Villain (The Bambi Story)

The 6 v 5 started as 5 v 4 with 2 late arrivals, however the scoring didn’t start until everyone was in attendance.

Fairly refereed by H (sic), the game ebbed and flowed keeping trainee ballboy Pete busy mostly retrieving Bambi’s shots at goal.

The deadlock was broken by a brilliant lob by H over Graham in goal 1-0 Blacks

2 replies by Steve the “Milkybar kid” (check the team lineup you’ll spot him 😅) though it was suggested he encroached into the area to score his first gave us 2-1 reds which was added to by Ken after a great pass from Graham. 3-1 reds

Graham was keen to point out Fred’s brilliant goalkeeping for reds to keep the blacks at bay and Fred was happy to accept such kind words, ignoring Hs suggestion he hadn’t a clue and the ball just bounced off various parts of his body

Now the storyteller is keen to bring Bambi into the forefront of the tale, in addition to his usual positive encouragement it appears he found himself rolling around on the ground for sometime, rearranging what’s left down below after finding them behind his ears, was it a direct ball into the nether regions or a strong challenge from Boris, the facts are sketchy.

Gert, easing himself back into playing was twisting and turning and reduced the deficit, 3-2 reds

Deep into Fergie time or is that Bambi time, with the floodlights coming on, eagle-eyed ref H, in goal for blacks by now, spotted an encroachment in the reds area by a defender. Who should step up to level the scores but our very own Bambi sending Ian the wrong way from the penalty spot

Any errors are purely Sean’s fault for not being there to report 😉
