And I do remember Bon actually laughing and nodding his head at the ball clearing as he would do exactly the same thing as I'm sure most of you guys would in the same position after a year like ours in reserves. (Pretty sure the same thing happened in firsts anyway with a few balls landing on the top field with 5 mins to go) it's a part of the game. Get over it. Every team does it.
I do feel for the bloke in reggies who did his ankle with ten to go. Hope he's alright and he's back on the park soon. Would suck for him to miss finals football after the good season your ressies have had. Best wishes.
And I think you're selling my goal short! Wasn't a corner was a throw in which was flicked on. Wasn't a miss hit shot that fell to me. It was a well controlled pull down which I called for our bloke to do. The worst part of the goal was the deflection that my shot which I struck well took off the poor pitch and left the poor keeper with not much he could do (except maybe close his legs) as it turned square off a dry dustbowl subcontinent like pitch that the Indian cricket team would have been licking their lips at!
Overall I think we deserved the win in reserves and all results probably were deserved across the day. Except maybe firsts where we could have jagged a draw if it wasn't for the denying of one of the most blatant handballs in the box I've ever seen. The only 2 people in the whole ground who didn't think it was a pen was the large moustached man with the whistle and his chimney like mate on the sideline. No denying we were crap in firsts. Definitely didn't deserve a win but a draw maybe. Could go on about all the blokes we had out as well but end of the day we were crap and suburbs were clinical in front of goal. No sour grapes.
As for the heckling and name calling. It goes on every weekend. Grow a pair and get over it. It was men to men. Who cares. It's called banter. No lines were crossed. If you can't cop being called a pelican you probably are playing the wrong sport. Is being called a pelican cutting you that deep? Surely not. Close relative of a kingfisher anyway. No slight nor casual racism took place.
I just wish I could understand that burley English men on the hill who was relentless all day. I'm sure he had some great banter but was just difficult to interpret most with his thick accent. Does a great impersonation of a fog horn tho!
Thanks suburbs for the good day. I do feel for yas with that pitch. Can see the effort you guys are putting in. But it's a rough patch. Do yous get much help from the council out there?
You proved me wrong.. )
