Cup - Collins 2-2 Knights win on penalties

Alot to talk about on this match, we were 2-0 up at half time, and cruising. It looked to all the world like we were moving to the next round, until Chelsea John in his customary manner decided to shake things up a little bit with some insane refereeing. First sending off Hugo in goal and awarding a penalty even though the player was clearly offside and Terry was also alongside him. This meant Doctor went in goal and we still pushed forward causing them all sorts of problems, but then John decided to ruin the game yet again and sent off Cedric, from which they scored the equaliser on the last kick of the match.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Penalties followed, and we wished to change our keeper to Terry "el Gato", and were promptly told this was illegal in FIFA rules, which was rubbish but meant that John had now been clearly influenced in both major decisions in the match by the opposition and got them both wrong!

3 poor penalties from us and a brawl ended the game for us, and knocked us out of the cup. We´ll meet them again in the second half of the season and im sure the team are looking forward to it as much as i am, just hopefully with a ref this time!

Just to update this now, the team have morphed into Lokomotiv Chill, which are to be found at chill bar barcelona just pop down and we're always after players

Collins 5-2 Barna City

Well this one is short and sweet as it was a gift really. Barna City are not the finished article for this league yet, and are the current whipping boys. The 5-2 should, could and would have been 10-2 if not for some woeful finishing on our part. Humbertos 3 goals earned him Man of the match over Fritz who scored the other 2, but bearing in mind that neither of them played as strikers, we really need to improve up front to get to that next level.

8-0 to manchester

Well this was always going to be tough and secretly i hoped for 2 things, a goal from us, and less than 10 for then. With the incredible Hans Van Damme running midfield and distributing with style it was an uphill battle. After 2 minutes it was 1-0 thanks to a poor offside decision from Paul the ref, who in general had a very good game, and was particularly lenient on us. The goals came not as a flood but rather as a trickle. Every 10 minutes or so, they would knock one in. It was 4-0 by half time, and 3 of the goals were undefendable. Especially the 40 yard free kick from HVD himself that lobbed Hugo on his line. The scoreline suggests that we were playing badly, but that was not the case at all. If we had been playing badly it could easily have been 10 by half time. Midfield in particular played some of the best football ive seen from them, Mickey was his usual snarling aggressive self and Victor Maquina got my vote as MOM. In the end though it was our lack of creativity that let us down, and the inability to keep the ball for any length of time. Poor first touches allowed Manchester to control the game, and we never really got any really clear chances on goal apart from Nicks 25 yard shot that their keeper managed to get away with a great save. All in all you put these down to experience. Barna City next week, and a good showing will get us the 3 points we need.
