Dont tell my mum pls...

howdy blog. I just played soccer after 3 wks of not touching a ball. It was rather nice, to say the least, considering i had only a 10 min cameo at the end.

But the match was good. We conceded crappy goals from set pieces but you cant really blame the stand-in keeper, its hard to find a wonderful keeper like francis these days. Conceded 3 goals but they dont really look like scoring except from set pieces. We equalised at 1-0 down from a flukish corner and my teammate even got yellow carded for taking off his shirt but what the hell.

Then andy scored one of the best goals i have seen him score for a very long time. Pure instinct, pure class. Trap ball, set, and fire home to the corner. Up there with the best goals in our lge.(mind you, we are a recre team) His 'poking celebration' was almost as well done as his goal. Great job andy.

2nd half 75 min i was subbed in and i decided to wear a ridiculous headband to protect my scar. Better safe than sorry. Then at around 83 min, when hope was, seemingly, lost, our new french(serious) striker fired home to make it 3 all. It was a tight affair, perhaps tighter than even that underwear you wear when you were six. Had to make a few challenges and fend off a few onslaughts but all was fine, they had nth more than half chances.

We even had a shot ratter off the bar from 6 yards in the 88 min when glen broke free. It would have been sheer inspiring if the shot went in.

But thats life and thats definitely football.

Its great to be playing again and great to see everyone play so well. All i need now is some vodka and rest my poor legs.....
