AFC OLD BANK LOSE OUT IN TEN GOAL THRILLER!
REF MISSES APPOINTMENT AT SPEC SAVERS!
AFC OLD BANK SUTTON 4 SOUTHBANK B 6
Mat 3, Mark 1
Man of match - Mat
Wanker of week - Aubrey (see report)
Match report for 2nd October 2005
An afternoon kick off should have seen OLD BANK fresh from last weeks great start to the season up and ready for a tough game against a side relegated from division two.
The game kicked off with a mainly unchanged OLD BANK side but within two minutes disaster struck the back four still wiping the sleep out of their eyes from an obvious lie in were caught napping by a ball over the top, the offside trap was sprung and we were one nil down!
OLD BANK quite frankly didn't look the same side as the last two weeks brilliant performances. Some players who had shone in previous weeks were not living up to the high standards they had set themselves.
On the stroke of 13 minutes- unlucky for some, yes US! A free kick beat the wall and the despairing dive of Jim and we were 2-0 down and the way we were playing we deserved to be losing.
A few choice words from the bench and manager which have been censored for the younger readers seemed to rouse the side and wake up a few people.
20 minutes gone and a lovely through ball by Mark, one of few people playing up to his standards, saw Mat run on and score to pull one back. Hope sprung eternal in the OLD BANK camp.
28 minutes another through ball by Mark saw Mat take the ball wide of the defender and keeper and bury his second of the game to draw the game level.
We were still nowhere near our best but things were looking up!
30 minutes and after a corner and goal mouth scramble Mark struck like a viper bang 3-2 OLD BANK!
3 gaols in ten minutes and we were in the lead. This was the stuff that legends are made of.
Sadly it was not to last 34 minutes and again our defense let us down and the opposition ran straight through like a knife through the proverbial butter to make it 3-3.
The half team talk praised the attacking quality of our team but that it was going to be a day of just who managed to break who's defence the most times!
It was rumoured that up to this point OLD BANK had not had one decision off the referee. I would like to put the record straight on this one and can categorically state i saw him give us at least one throw in if not two! And there is no truth in the accusation that he missed his appointment with spec savers!
Having just said all that Southbank got a corner, the ball was swung in, it was cleared off the line by a hand of god (well aubrey) it rebounded out, at this point Jim was obviously struck by a bullet from a sniper hiding in the trees as he went down clutching his leg and had not been fouled at all according to the blind beggar, sorry referee the ball was then put into our net. 4-3.
Chronologically speaking the worst outcome for us should have been a penalty for the handball. If that was not seen by the ref then a free kick to us for the foul on Jim but no a new slant on the advantage rule meant its ok to take out the keeper so bad that he has to be subbed.
On came ASH our knight in shining armour, well an orange goalie top that is 5 sizes too big for him. A nice belt and he would have looked goooood - according to the camper side of Ian.
He did his best but our defence were breached again and 5-3. Then 6-3.
Ian came on to allow Aubs into midfield and Guy came on to make it 4-3-3- and all out attack to try for the draw.
Ed played a lovely cross ball for Mat to make it 6-4.
Another cross and this time Mat was taken out in the area PENALTY! was the cry. Corner was the refs reply. Then after Mat's treatment he changed it to goal kick!
The game ended 6-4 and to be honest on the defensive display we did not deserve to win, But the attacking side of our game and a few kinder decisions it should have been a draw.
The season will be longer and harder than i thought but we have now had our blip and thats it NO MORE!
Our sponsors, our supporters, our friends and family and our own pride deserve better we will bounce back and we will WIN!
Next game 1st Round Surrey Cup 1pm kick off Prince Georges Rec, Grand Drive, Raynes park come and support the boys.
Oh forgot to mention. Wanker of the week went to AUBREY for the comment "Come on it 's only a one goal decifit !" (i think he meant deficit) WANKER!
Once again if i fail to insult you in this report i will get you at some point bearing in mind i am acquiring more nicknames than Abi titmus has pricks! (ricky ponting, phil collins, boss hogg, old bill, bald c***, the cliche man to name but a few!)
