On a perfect day for football,Mikes Prems were transferred from the Gardens to theCaledonian to play Northern.With several players unavailable and the bench full of pimply faced youngsters thiswas going to make for an interesting game.Northern played a very defensive game, and did well tostem many of our attacks, ourfinishing wasnt near as goodas what it should be.Burgee was kept quiet unitilearly in the second half.Northern doug deep kept to there very basic game plan, on another day wecould of ran away with it.Towards the end of the game Northern got the equaliser after a defensiveerror.Tristan was given a Red for apparent incorrect use of the Queens English,much to the shock of all around who heard nothing.. Interesting to note that theNorthern goal keeper was only cautioned in the first half for his same pottymouth issue. Player of the day was awarded to one of the most under ratedplayers in the league Sam Enright, pic above.Looking forward to next week when all team will be up and running.
This should come as no surprise. If you beat/draw with Tech it is because they were off their game not because you played well. To me the attitude of the club is deeply arrogant. It may not be the players who hold this attitude as Judda pointed out Northern deserved the point but you certainly get that feeling from those in higher positions.
I had the feeling moose writes all the tech match reports? Could be wrong tho. Judda i think you should take these over going forward.....in the words of david brent "maybe i should do it..... for the comedy"
Roslyn bye this weekend, comes at a time when the team need to regroup. Apparently some of the players went out for dinner last night with a couple of the mosgiel players, and in true plainsmen fashion the mosgiel players were very embarassing. In particluar curtis day who it turns out is a bit of an animal after a few drinks (its genetic)....smooth talking/serenading the ladies at the next table was a nice touch though, far more subtle than one T.Dunn (rugbyman? Brookside?) throwing his food around the place.....one hopes his ball control will be tighter at the caledonian tomorrow.....
