Re: [FVSL Masters 2007] Jan & Feb Predictions, Banter & Results
Mission 2, GEU 0.
On the frozen tundra is Mission last night.
We deserved a much better fate.
After an evenly played first half which Mission potted two well-taken goals, we completely owned the game. We were unlucky not to finish as many as four or five glorious chances including a missed tap in to an empty goal from five yards (from which our forward still hasn't receovered) a brilliant 30 yard strike which Millsy tipped off the underside of the crossbar. By the way, that ball crossed the line. Our players on the sideline had a good view of it and said it definitely landed behind the line after hitting the bar, but on that poorly lit field, there was no way the referee could call that. He was out where the shooter was and was right to allow play to continue. We didn't complain at all. There were other chances throughout the half as well.
You can only take so many moral victories before you start putting points on the board. But the guys on this team are a different lot. How else can you explain being a winless team in February, playing on a freezing cold Friday night way the heck out in Mission and having 9 subs? Tons of character.
On to Sappy Town next week.
