End of Season Drama

By the time you read this everything will have been sorted out but in our last game of the season there was controversy and tension to match the Premiership. None of it was reflected in the match itself which saw us lose tamely although nothing was lost or gained in the encounter.

HEN DOM MATT I MATT C DAVE DOUGIE IAIN 1 (4) KEVIN 1 (5)

We lost 5 - 2 although the website claims we only got one goal but in truth it could have been worse. We were quickly one down and despite equalising through a goal off the post from me, the other side were well ahead early in the second half. The marking was a little lax and the effort of the last few weeks just didn't seem to be there. That led to some advice being exchanged particularly from Kev toward Dave which is quite a well established routine. The post match chat came to a consensus in which it was acknowledged that the shouting usually happens like that but this week it went further with Dougie joining the disapproval of Dave's marking/cover. This was seemingly too much to take and Dave stalked off without a word and was not in attendance at the pub either.

The top scorer's postion went to Kevin who struck with the last kick of the game following a save from my shot which fell to him in front of an open goal.

The real highlight was Matt's penalty which was saved by the keeper and sees Kev the only penalty taker yet to miss a spot kick. That may be due to his thirty yard run up while everyone else has to take one step.

Will Dave return? Will he ever watch Matt run about in his shorts on a Monday night again? Will Dave ever mark someone closely rather than stand a few yards off them? Is he trying to be the new me? I had to listen to Paul telling me to chase back/tackle/pass/come off/try for over ten years. I'm not sure I can say I ever actually did any of those things but it was all in good fun.

Iscape in crisis. Will we lose our sponsor?

The new season starts next Monday and all will be revealed.
