The picture above illustrates Saturday’s game. It was a hard fought game in which both teams but Dave in particular dished out kicks and elbows to his heart’s content. The damage was limited to a yellow card (that will be a €5 fine thankyouverymuch – next time you’ll be out for a full league game so watch out with your quaint English football customs).
That said the referee, yet again one of those sad old men wasting their perfectly good Saturday evenings to oversee a game in Oudergem of all places – for a mere €20, was definately not on our side. At one point we were asked which ‘forest’ we were dragged out from. I for one don’t care much about such puzzling threats/insults/senile rants, but I did care about the free kicks our opponent was given as a result. Most of their goals were made thanks to that old git.
We lacked the magic of Pino and Yves’ fine dribbles as both players are injured right now, so considering the circumstances we played a damn fine game. The game ended in a tie (5-5) which is fair enough. I don’t think either team deserved a win. We did score the best goals. Efrem put the first three in the net, all of them with some good solo action, after which Philip burst through enemy lines twice, the last goal being a wonderful bycicle kick after an exquisite lob was served to him on a silver plate. Truly, a real gem.
Maurits receives the ‘kabouter pinnemuts’ of the day. He masterfully outwitted our goalkeeper JP, who apart from that played an awesome game.
Now onto Bob Merlo, I say they’re ready to be butchered. We have some catching up to do in the rankings. No time for mercy anymore. No drinking and whoring until next Wednesday! Dixi.
