Surrey 1 Indo 0
Made the trek out to Richmond to do some shopping and negotiated some time to watch some of my former mates play. It was good to see Lakeshow, Singher and Kilo playing well in the middle of the park. The game was an even affair, however, Surrey scored off a goalmouth scramble with 15 or 20 minutes left.
Surrey has the biggest backline in the VMSL, Hleucka, MacGowan and Millar. Also, they appear to be getting players back, as Dobbin, and Ryan Hopp were in the lineup, and Rizal Ganief and Mike Gahan came on as subs.
No Whitecaps for Indo, but they played well in 2/3rds of the field, they just seemed to lack that creativity and focus in the final third. Indo looked short on numbers, and I felt sorry for the #10, as he must have been subbed into and out of the game at least 3 times. Also, nice to see Burnsie, a quality quality person.
I must have missed something near the end of the game, as Indo supporters seemed to be very upset with the referee and confronted him after the game.
Good luck the rest of the way,

He failed to call a blatant penalty, Gilly. When their player says "I definitely got away with one" after the game, it was probably a penalty.
Game report accurate too, Gilly. We kept our shape well today but as usual, couldn't create a lot of opportunities. We had one sub today and I think a draw would have been a fair result on the day. BTW, Gilly, there was 7 minutes left in the game when they scored on the corner. Teams at the bottom of the league usually find a way to lose. We did that today. Effort of the boys was good though, which it has been majority of the season.......1/2 way through the season with two MASSIVE games(every game is) in the next two weeks - Metro Ford and Norvan.
I haven't seen Sandman that angry.......ever regarding the missed penalty. The ref appeared to be a little out of his league today for some reason.........but we didn't bury the couple of chances we had when we needed to.
