So what did you think of the game? Saw you there with your old man, went to say hello to the old feller after the game but you'd gone and didn't see either of you back at the aftermatch.
Entertaining to say the least. Took us a while to get going. A few first touches were letting the team down a bit on attack, but once they settled in, the long balls weren't so plentiful and ball was actually going to feet. Once Anton lobbed Matt I thought that was going to be the start of a match resembling the one against Western. Patrick was a terror on that right hand side, but some good disciplined defending kept you in it. Ash did bloody well to knock that first one in from that angle. Was disappointing to see that conceded from a halfway free-kick. 10 mins into the 2nd half i thought it was all over. 2 goals and 1 man up should have been the end of it. But that sparked a 25 minute period where you lot played smart, and we didnt. You won the ball where you needed to - in the middle of the park. You gave our middle men a lot of grief, and forced the play through the middle of the park, where the extra man couldn't count. Credit to Turnbull for 2 well-taken goals. Was still very disappointing to see 3 go in from set pieces. Ant Hancock's goal to make it 4-3 was where it came back on track, football-wise. Tim Horner provided composure to what was an increasingly worried and frustrated back 4. Ball started going to feet, and out to the wings again, and it came back together (bar Gareth's miracle header). Patricks strike was the clincher, the game seemed wrapped up after that. The lads kept possession this time, and played smart football for the last 10 mins. Number 6 came as a result of that.
For Monsef to call Cavy "the luckiest team in the world" seems a bit one-eyed. I agree it was touch and go there for a while. At 3-3 I thought you lot might go on and snatch it. But considering the number of chances each team had, I think the right team came out on top.
Favourite moment was the "He has to go, Ref" comment.
Dad was my lift to chch, and he's back in the red zone in the morning, so I didn't want to keep him waiting.
