...a very interesting game indeed
As always when playing WUS, the game was filled with melodrama. The onfield performances by WUS players should sweep the "Worst of the Oscar's" awards as there continual diving and bitching led to their demise. With no European refree present to buy in to the flopping about William Griffin Turf, WUS were hard pressed to act their way into too much of an advantage to overcome a solid 1st half performace by the JB squad and a stick this in your eye second half by our team.
On the sidelines for the first half, I sauntered over to the jiffy john at the opening whistle to make amends for a weekend of poor eating. Although blind to the game with the confines of the sweet smelling, toilet paper adorned plytex portable, which happened to be in close proximity to the WUS goal, I swear I had only grunted 3 or 4 times when all of sudden I heard the unmistakable "Bing" of a ball carreening of a goalpost. It was followed immediately by another "Bing", which totally interrupted my Chi-Like moment as I was forced to "break things off" so that I could exit the jiffy-john to find out what happened.
As it was we had hit two post within the first 3 minutes and this bode well for the rest of the game.
When the Sarejevan's travel, they travel deep.... They must have had about 25 fans out for tonight's contest. They definitely made themselves known with their contest attempts to coax calls out of the referee. With the whining on the pitch synchronized with the whining on the sidelines it was louder than a bunch of 13yr olds at a BackStreetBoys concert.
As I said though, the ref did not fall for their game of "Look Mom, I am a Diving Swan!" They do have some players with good talent. Elvis has a powerful shot that even Roberto Carlos would give props to, but fortunately for us he could not hit the net for the life of himself.
Our first goal came on a cross from Legs which saw the keeper handle then drop to the legs of Junior who calmly and effieciently slotted into the net.
Our second goal was on a peno which resulted from blatant hand ball from a header that was going to twinkle the back of the net. WUS even tried to protest this but a red and a goal from the Seniors, top corner shot was what they got for their efforts.
Our third and fourth goals came from pure gutsy efforts from Legs at forward who, after skinning their defenders, put two beautiful balls across the front of net that I was able to convert.
My act was pure puncutation on the beautiful work that he did.
Our fifth goal was, perhaps, our goal of the season. Bonefish plays the ball wide to Campbellnator, who takes a jog down the wing and crosses it hard. A streaking Junior, runs like his house is on fire and left foots it from a sharp angle into the mesh....
We then had our keeper exit the game with a red card for handling the ball outside of the 18 and let up some of the pressure which resulted in a couple of goals for them.
Overall it was a good effort by the JimBeam squad and the beers tasted fantastic!! There were more than one player that earned a player of the game status but Big Ste on the back, K. B. in the middle who shut Elvis down, and Legs who worked his ass off for two great assists should top the list.
I did not see any Rangers in attendance but much props to the 5 or 6 RFC boyz who came with 24 in hand to bolster our sideline.
I really hope that WUS do not go up as they do have some decent footballers but too many F'ing PriMadonnas. So please oh please, come next year, everyone who plays them please handle your bidness!
