Asterix Reds 2 Expert Klang 2 (League)

First half - OK for 20 mins. Rest - shite.
Stevie scores with a slice.

Second half - shite for most of it.
Bunmi scores with a toe poke.

Pitch was crap.

Need I say more.

Ha ha! Mark, you've certainly won the Winston Churchill Award for saying the most whilst using the least words.

My thoughts: we didn't play well. Too many of us were off our game (and the pitch was shite) for us to put in a good footballing performance. Nonetheless, we battled hard and did enough to win it. We took the lead midway through the second half and were in complete control. At 2-1 up with only a few minutes left we were coasting to a comfortable win.

However, it was our indiscipline in the final few minutes that cost us a victory. We got caught on the break; with too many of us committed to an attack they broke away and scored a good goal. Let's learn from this; if we're a goal to the good with a few minutes left, let's use our heads and sit back to make sure we don't get caught on the break. Lesson learnt. Let's put in behind us and put in a good footballing performance next week.

Almost forgot to mention. Good to see a better turnout at the the Social for post match refreshments. Even Adam was there! Keep this up next week.

My nominations for "Man of the Match" would be Jonesy and Bala who partnered at the back. Jonesy won everything that came his way in the air and Bala cleaned up on the deck putting in a true sweeper's performance.

"Penis of the week" has to go to player who coined the phrase: none other than the one and only...Mark Williams. First for spitting the dummy when a couple of the EK players kicked him which led to him being taken off to "cool down". Then, after coming back on, he complained of not being able to get to a ball played 10 yards in front of him. Come on, if you can run 42kms, surely you can chase a ball down to the corner flag!!!?

"Inadvertent yet sublime skill" award goes to yours truly for rising like a salmon to head a ball, completely missing it, and then trapping it when I landed before dribbling away in possession. You just can't teach that!

The award for "Not from the coaching manual, but nonetheless effective" award goes to Bumni for his toe poke from 15 yards. The keeper was so surprised, he closed his eyes and dived over it.

Other nominations welcomed. Comment here!
