Road ends at semi finals

Well what can I say .... we lost to Concord. I can't write the score. They were the better team but I still hate their guts. They were a decent group of guys although they are all wankers. They played hard and fair despite being dirty bastards. Anyway, after the game we drove to Captain Flicky's and watched England thrash the pants off of Panama .... 6-1. So it was a good day. We ate chili and drank fresca's and joked around ... it was all good. Overall it was a successful season and we shall be back to do it again in the Fall.

Keep it tight at the back.

The final regular season game

We played Crapoli and we did not win. We finished the season in second place and will face Concord in the semi finals next week. I predict that we will beat Concord and will go on to beat Crapoli in the final.

The Evolution get a second tonking!

The Evolution go down like a sweet muffin.

We had a number of players out today and started the game with only three subs and lost Blanchy to the curse of the dodgy hamstring but we played well and put five past the Evolution. We conceded two although one of them was freaky ... a nothing shot that squirted under Frank who slipped at just the wrong time. I've reviewed the footage and there was definitely a second spitter on the grassy knoll so Frank is excused of all wrong doing. Caino scored multiple goals and has cemented his place as the highest scoring left back on the team. Pat bagged a brace that he scored with both his left and his right ... left and right foot, not testicle. Dougie Vee scored a peach of a curler into the top corner that can only be matched by his "no look passing" ability which is a gift from his creator. Captain Flicky executed some nice back passes some of which went to our team ... he really is the master of this underutilized move. Rob scampered all over the shop like a very fit butchers dog on a sugar high. Andy swept up almost all loose balls at the back and muttered something about his "assist" percentage which apparently is in double digits. Doug Vee provided the post game munchies and we feasted on calzone and cookies and drank beer that did not run out .... Brian supplied the suds and is still traumatized by the blog report of ten years ago when he underestimated the drinking needs of the team. With time, therapy and medication he will be fine and the burn marks from the electrodes should fade if he uses enough of the special lotion thrice per day as instructed. Despite the fact that we put eleven goals past the Evolution over the two encounters, it was agreed that they are a good team and they are a quite amiable bunch of coves ... hail fellows well met! It's Paschal's birthday today and the lad was smilier than usual plus the meds had clearly worn off by games end. It's nice to play footy on Sunday morning, it's better when we win and it's bestest when we thrash the opposition which is something we've done a few times this season. Next week we play Crapoli for the title and I expect that there will be fireworks aplenty! It's an early kick off at the their place ... 8am. I've concluded that we should rise at daybreak and skip the continental breakfast even though twill only take twenty minutes max ... where am I going with this ... I will tell you ... nowhere.

Here is a picture of three Irishmen ... it's a very strange picture because two aren't drinking.

Ricardo getting some gentle ribbing from JB.

It's official by the way ... we are in the play offs. The only fly in the ointment would be if we lose the last game and rack up about twenty card points ... so I am saying right now that we should make the play offs ... maybe! Remember this ... death is but a moment ... cowardice is a lifetime of affliction.

Keep it tight at the back.

Celtic travel to the outer Hebrides

We crossed the international date line and the arctic circle to play Nashua and we gave them a damned good spanking. The final score was 6-1 and they are going down. We, on the other hand, are not going down ... we're going up. Four goals from Caino, one from Rob and one from Captain Flicky. It was a goal fest. Crapoli beat Stoneham and we are firmly in second place with a good chance of making the play offs and a decent shot at the title. Winning the title could come down to the final game of the season against Crapoli and it could all be about card points because they are on nine points already. The Irish chaps on the team have already figured out the strategery ... we sacrifice a player to start a punch up in minute two after kick off that will draw cards for both teams but give us the top spot in the table ... and then we simply play for the tie. This strategy is known as "clear thinking" and not the "dirty football" that you might otherwise have concluded.

The Kate Moorman show !!!!

It was a sticky one ... the first hot and humid day of the season and we had to win to keep our play off dreams alive. We played the North Shore International men of mystery and we won 3-1 and Paschal had a blinder but that's enough about the football because the post game feast was prepared by Kate Moorman which is a serious business. There was salad, there was antipasto, there were meat balls, chicken cutlets, eggplant, sauce, gravy, various breads .... all washed down with copious amounts of beer and wine. There were also sweet Italian cookies that had to be dipped in the stuff that they put in cannoli's. We took our time and gave Kate the catering award. Moorman doesn't eat after football because every Sunday Kate cooks enough food for the entire street to eat for a week ... and I don't meant "eat" ... I mean "feast" on for a week. What about the footy I hear you ask .... well ... what about it?
