Game Summary
A sopping wet field greeted the Fading Stars despite no rain for a week. The annual grudge match with the Gay Blades was delayed due to the early Daylight Savings time change- #19 started the game with a lovely vomit taste due to some yummy tomatoes chunks.
FSFC come out passing the ball and flat out whipping on the Gay Blades. Sharp shooting Kneal is the main gunman getting 6 early shots, all of which went near post and bent away from the net. #19 misses a chip, Barnes misses a wide open shot, Jacobs misses wide open shot, Romo gets hurt, Pblische misses a wide open shot, Lilly with a beauty of a cross but no one was there. Jihad misses a shot- Basically it was 15-0 on shots in the first 25 minutes.
Then the 800 lbs in forward decide to take over- Laurie makes a nice pass to 400 lb Dougie who beats Jacobs, Barnes and Berryman with a shin shot. Blades score on their first shot
FSFC 0 Gay Blades 1
The FSFC pick up the pace but it doesn't it matter. The muddy field and terrible shooting continue for the FSFC. In what should be a 5-0 game, the half ends with the blades pulling out the upset.
2nd Half
What a joyous occasion that is the second half, The FSFC come out strong again controlling every aspect of the game. Jihad gets through on a 1v1 and flubs his shot to the keeper, Jacobs gets through on a 1v1 and flubs his shot to the keeper, Peter tries to volley a ball from the 25 and misses by 25 yards- Pblische misses a shot badly- Are the FSFC ever going to score?
Finally the breakthrough- With about 15 minutes left, #19 and Pblische work the ball up the left side, Pblische hits a cross into the six where it hits off a blades players bald dome and goes nicely into the net. It may have been an ugly goal but for christ sake it was needed. The Blades are not happy
FSFC 1 GB 1
Now the fun begins, Barnes gets a yellow for a tackle- Tommy gets a yellow for a cleats up tackle- Berryman and Laurie get a little chat going and then the other 400lb forward decides to take Berryman's punt off of his lard earning him a Yellow. The FSFC earn a corner on the left half. Pblische puts in a bender that skips into the six where Tommy taps the ball in for the goal.
FSFC 2 GayBlades 1
The FSFC pretty much run the last 6 minutes off of the clock and don't really give up a scoring threat- Ball Game Bitches
