There are many grudge matches in football. Rangers/Celtic. City/United. Fergie/Wenger. Berbatov/Goals. However, although Disley 2nd's FC is our derby game, there is nothing quite like D&C Atheltic versus Richmond Rovers.
Richmond Rovers consists of smarmy little Poynton HS kids who play open age and then complain that they are smaller than all the other teams. Basically, they are whiny little diving bastards and nothing gives us/me more joy that wiping the little smirks of their faces before sending them home to mummy for dindins.
It all started when they snatched a draw from us with a soft last minute header back in December giving us all the worst Christmas presents ever.
Today however, was our turn to run onto the pitch and celebrate.....a draw! If you saw the first half then you would be happy for us too. They took a 2-0 lead with minutes of kick off and it remained that way till the half.
Majorly pissed off, imagine how we feel when the two snotty nosed 17 year old's start giving veterans central defenders like Me and Gare Bear abuse.
Elbows fly. Bodies crumble. Ankles crunch (mine...). Children cry (them...).
The Athletic came roaring back to life (thanks NWF for that one!) and the 2nd half is was more promising. Dick got bored in goals and took it out on their strikers every time they kicked the ball a little bit too far forward and was lucky not to get booked. Felix managed to get a goal back by repeatedly kicking their keeper until he pushed the ball free and calmly slotted it home. A free kick from the sideline was whipped in by Middle Sherman and even though Dick came up to try to steal the glory Bluesy manages to nod it home over their fat and terrible goalkeeper.
Cue retaliation. The ever professional manager of D&C runs in front of the Richmond Tarts sideline celebrating the whole way!
This is the beautiful game after all.
Seeing as we don't film our own games (i've requested many times) it looked something like this:

TO,
ReplyDeleteRivalry in soccer makes soccer, especially grudge matches and i am glad your team managed to wipe the smiles off the faces of the opposition compatriates faces, its just a shame you couldn't grab a winner.
How are your team doing in your league, and where do you play? I used to play GK until i broke my fibious, which ended my career and substantially led to me being a Scientist of Homolopial Beings (where does this Adam person play, im still very interested in him as a subject).
My good wishes go to your Soccer team for the rest of the master league season.

p.s. Is the person on your team with the same name as me any good?? x
Felix,
ReplyDeletePut diplomatically...we are not doing as well as hoped. We play all across Macclesfield :)
I dont think i mentioned an Adam... ;)
The person with the same name as you is [insert your own adjective].....
TO
Dearest TO,
ReplyDeleteThe person with the same name as me is [massively influential, down to them having the same name as me?], but the brown stuff at finishing as he had to break their keeper several times before scoring a Soccer goal?
You are quite correct in saying that you did not mention the Adam fellow in the above blog entry, but i seem to remember him being in a previous blog entry video where you are driving to your Soccer game and you are lost, thus suggesting he plays for your Soccer team. My apologies if this caused any confusion. Upon which positional standing does he take upon the field, or is he the tea lady?
Again, my apologies for any confusion that may have been caused.
Yours Truly,
Felix
