RockWithTheCaveman Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) After an enjoyable and compelling hour of football, a bibless B&WA 8s Young Team were dispatched by an over 30s side last night, which, almost inconceivably given my baby-faced handsomeness, contained me… The Overs had the better of a quiet opening period, with ball retention and easy baws the name of the game, particularly from Messrs Casey, Brown and Zo. Big Mark Logan was the difference with his strong and direct running. I previously referred to him as a battering ram, which I realise now was unjust – he’s more like a juggernaught! The Young Team began to pose more of a threat when big Fraser Burns was pushed up front, giving the previously comfortable back 2/3/4/5/6 some problems, particularly with the talented Nicky driving forward in support. The game became more stretched and individual errors and misplaced passes were occurring more frequently, but this only added to the undoubted spectacle. Personally, I was disappointed not to score with the few chances I had, but pleased that I was like a very poor man’s Mesut Ozil with several assists. My favourite goal last night was when my in-swinging corner was flicked on at the near post and big Stef found himself unmarked at the back stick, with a unique stand-on-the-ball finish that crept over the line. I voted Mark Logan as MOTM, just edging out Nicky. My vote was the sixth and quite interesting to see five different players nominated for this prestigious award. Well played, everyone!! ‘mon the auld yins!! Sadly, I return to work next week in Southern Scotland so unlikely to grace the astroturf again anytime soon...

A very good match report A close defeat for the young-uns to the vastly more experienced and well organised oldies was a good game though the closest in and most competitive in a while. The oldies defended well and we struggled to find a way to goal usually resorting to long balls. We should keep the same teams as much as possible next week.

FoxbarBuddie Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Me! I was impressed by your fine finish. ;-) It's only took me a few weeks to find my legs again. Agree with Irvine old v young could be a good challenge every few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Invites for next week have just been sent. After 3 weeks of physio and still being in constant pain I'm off to the quack tomorrow to see about by back. This is a Kevin Twaddle like injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Zo Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Another enjoyable game last night. Enjoyed the oldies v the youngsters set up. Lots of nutmegs. When Div returns we could have the baldies/ balding bloke's and the gingers and strawberry blondes against the rest. Kevin paid his outstanding £5, still to get a fiver from Charlie next time he plays and Fraser Torrance to pay for last night. £30 in kitty with a further £10 to come. Won't make it next week so will have to pass bibs onto someone. Still up for gathering after the Inverness game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get the bibs off you Mon or Tues mate and I will go down and sort out the game and the money on Weds. I have £190 in the kitty here so total will be around £220 mark at the moment ? My missus has her Xmas night out on 7th so don't think Inverness game will fly for me but I am more than happy to put the kitty up to be used that day, we will never get a date that suits everyone, especially at this time of year.

Saintstef Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 What's the plan of action for Saturday anyway? We still meeting after the game in a pub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeperbahn Bud Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hopefully the young ones can get revenge on Wednesday. Same teams again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveStreetLover Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm up for the same teams, but I guess thats dependant on the same guys signing up again! As for sat, anyone got any preferences on a pub to meet at? Maybe book a snug at the bull for before and/or after the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 3 changes from last week, here are the 16 who will fight it out tomorrow night. I will drop the bibs into Paul at reception but neither myself or Dr Zo are playing so need a volunteer to collect the money and sort the teams out. Any takers ? Ian Brown Ewan MacColl Andy Newport Nicky Fleming Ian Craig Neil Cameron Dougiy Collins Mark Kennedy Kevin Hamiltn Mark Logan Alan Cassidy Brian Casey Stuart Cameron Fraser Burns Fraser Torrance Steve Logan I can't make it out on Sat night but I can get the kitty to you guys if you are all up for it ?

Mr Zo Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Quite fancy a few sociable ales with you fine chaps on Saturday evening. Bull Inn post match sounds a decent shout. Gauge interest tomorrow night and I could book up a booth from 5 onwards. Guess we don't need to spend all the kitty as a number of people can't make Saturday and we could always have another one at end of the season.
