It was wet, wet, wet, and I
don’t mean that oh so good 90’s pop group. It was absolutely shitttting it
down and for some reason, Wheels forced us to play football.
Things did not get off to the
best of starts, the oppo turned up for one forcing us to play and then we
found out that Wheels had only bothered to wash his own goalkeeping kit
and not the rest of the tops, the flucking stank, worse than a pair of my
pants.
This game was won before we had
really started. With the AFC Harrow 6-a-side containing virtually no-one
from the team heading the Harrow Sunday Challenge Division one, things
looked up for the Ranger boys. Our course was further helped by the fact
that the oppo just did not want to play at all. For some reason they just
did not want to play in the rain. What a bunch of girls, it was only rain
after all.
AFC began the game at a very
slow, what the fluck are we doing here pace. It wasn’t long before the
Rangers had stolen possession and took the lead. 1-0 soon became 3-0 and
the game was pritty much done and dusted in the first half. AFC’s only
real change of the half came when Crofty was completely roasted by their
only decent player (Not that type of roasting) only for Wheels to make a
superb, for the camera’s, save to keep hold of that clean sheet. The
Rangers managed to ass 1 more before the break.
The second half seemed to be
very short and over before it had really got going. AFC had completely
given up by this stage, changed their goalie and had completely gone to
pot. 3 more goals were added by the Rangers to make it a comprehensive 7-0
thrashing, even though the dopey ref only had us down as scoring 6. That’s
ref’s for you.
The best moment of the second
half and the entire night came midway though the half as AFC managed a
shot on target. It was an absolute thunderbolt that Wheels did well to
save, with his FACE. In true Ranger style, the rest of us just burst out
load laughing and shouting at Wheels for trying to eat the ball. The ref
and oppo showed some concern for Wheel’s welfare, whilst we just carried
on playing as normal.
All in all the game was a
stroll with the Rangers playing some good expansive football. It’s amazing
how well you can play without having to run up the flucking hill and try
and kick a ball with 2 tonnes of mud and shite on your boots. But I’m sure
we will have that pleasure for many more years yet.
Goal scorers were as follows as
no matter how many time we told him, Wheels just couldn’t remember: Jarvo
2, Wale 2, Charlie 1, Ben 1, Crofty 1, Mini Jarv fluck all.
