Three in a Row

A consummate team performance by the Righteous Elite down the Wood last night, earned a comfortable victory against an ill tempered JMF. I would like to think the win was down to the selfless running of both Shotgun and Clogs, the finishing of Two Scoops and the passing of Euro and the Mercenary, but according to the man lovong MoFo, we just plain cheated, which I feel is harsh. Their grievance stems form a controversial decision not to award a goal, after both the good Doctor and the Mercenary claimed Jamon had entered the keepers area. I personally did not see it, but it did look dubious, to say the least. Dead Eye was apocalyptic, and threw an almighty strop, something I didn't think he was capable of. Jamon or Funky, sure, but not the usually pragmatic goal machine. It most certainly put him of his stroke. The rest of the MoFo jumped upon the band wagon. I would like to point out that we let a cast iron penalty go, when the returning King Dave retrieved a ball from outside his area, and we also chalked off tow goals after first Clogs, and then Two Scoops crossed the goalkeeping zone.

Back to the game. It was a nip and tuck affair for the first half hour, but once the Euro boys opened a gap, there only ever looked to be one winner. This doesn't mean there wasn't a scare, as a five goal lead was whittled down to one, as Funky, Young Gaz and a now composed Dead Eye rattled in a four gaols in quick succession. But they forgot to mark Two Scoops, and four quick counter attacks saw myself, Shotgun and Two Scoops re-establish a lead that was not to squandered. This makes it three wins in a row, and a once healthy five game lead, is now an anemic two. Next week sees a raft of changes, due to holidays and other commitments. For the Righteous, I am off for a fortnight. Next week we have a new comer, as Junior scoops, son of Two Scoops, and the week after, Doctor Shotgun. For the MoFo, Luklear War is expected to make his long awaited return, but both Dead Eye and King Dave are other wise engaged. Regular replacements Young Daz, and Not As Young Dan, will be drafted in as cover.
