Banter for Sunday 16 September

The early season form book should now be taking shape - what are your chances?

We are short of a referee for the morning - if you know of anybody who might be able to help us out, please could you or the referee in mind get in touch with Stewart asap

Throops win

They will.. But thanks to your annoying texts ... Everyone will be pleased when they beat us now. U better not be p1ssed and rubbish in the morning, or you get the blame entirely. ;-)

he can have my number.

really good battle with hoskins today. Good chances at both ends and could have been more goals from both sides. one goal apiece, our goal from earl murray. The kind of game you get out of bed for!

Kirby muxloe rangers 0 v 13 fc azzurri

Goal scorers were louis finney-neckles 5, daniel bull 3, dean edwards,lewis edwards,luke bryan,jack hollobone,leon thraves!

Good performance from us today, could have been more to be honest! Also fair play to kirby they kept going and never once got the arse!! Shouldn't be in div 1 though

Thurmaston 3 -2 hotshots

Shambolic turnout for us today had to start with manager and assistant manager, performance was poor too, nowhere near good enough!

cska 2 oadby owls 2
oadby will be kicking themselves today. should have scored at least 5! went 1 nil up but didn't control the game at all. conceded 2 from set pieces but then right at the end scored to equalise. pleased with the point keeps us unbeaten. 2 goals from cheadle. oadbys movement was great and another day they could have hit double figures.

another slow start by kilworth reserves resulted in us going 2-0 nil down and on the balance of play we were lucky to get in 2-2 at half time but that all changed in the second half and we knocked the ball around like we normally do scoring some great goals in the end another good performance from the over 30s lol resulting in a great 6-2 win

Countesthorpe 0 - Wigston Fields 3

Mark Allen hatrick but generally this is the worst WF have played all season. Pitch had lumps of grass all over it and it stopped the WF passing game, massive room for improvement over the coming months but yet again a clean sheet!!
Only the blip against CSKA Sporting for shipping goals,if this team can only start to finish off the chances that are being created.

So today Blaby in Div 7 went 2 - 0 up in the first half against Kilworth reserves and we dominated the whole half, only for a couple of blunders to allow kilworth to get to goals back before the first half ended. Second half came along and although blaby were winning everything ion the air and passing well our haunting spell of only being able to score 2 goals per game continued. Then after blaby tried to push to far we did what we have been doing lately and conceeded 2 quick goals. at 4-2 our heads dropped and we conceeded another 2. 1 was an very suspect penalty but the score could have been worse had one of the kilworth players not missed more or less an open goal from 3 yards.

I think blaby were the better team but missed chances proved we still need to improve.

Good game between both teams, played with the right spirit. Look forward to the reverse fixture.

Sounds like you need some fitness work then! As you were excellent against us for 45 mins and dropped off a bit 2nd half.

LBT got beat 3-2 by a Monsell WMC who were not exactly what was expected. We were 1-0 up at half time having run the 1st half very well. Monsell then got back into the game following a scrap in the box and then went 2-1 up following a goal which was clearly flagged off side by the Lino. Talbot got back in the game with a goal which was (also) probably off side. Monsell then got the 3rd which was a little too much for LBT to come back from.

Talbot deserved a point at least from this having squandered many chances to increase the lead before half time.

We can be proud of what we achieved, if nothing else we have sent a message to the rest of the league!

Good Luck for the season to the Monsell lads!

pochins 3 - 1 mjr
again another good performance from our lads we were losing 1-0 at half time. got one back at teh start of the second half and looked like we could win it. then there striker scored a wodergoal to get his second and a mistake from the ref (which he admitted to after the game) led to there 3rd goal!

i think they would have held on to the win anyway but conceding in that way is very annoying

very good game to be fair could of gone either way at the end but we thought we was unlucky not to win we had more chance 3 1on1 but nri keeper saved them from a rout

big team nri are about 7ft throughout

thurmaston won 8 nil against enderby who suppost to be half decent the league is over thurmo will romp it
azzuri won 13 nil but against kmr who are im sorry to say a div 4 standard

Got to agree with you hoskins, I think thurmo will win this division quite easily and also kirby shouuld not be in this division!! Will be a long season for them, they did get better 2nd half against us! Hope they don't fold and carry on for the season.

Looking forward to our gme next week against you hoskins

Aylestone Athletic 2-2 White Eagles

Todor Beric
Danilo Trifunovic

We started slowly and Aylestone won an early penalty, but I guessed correctly and saved the penalty. A defensive mix up then allowed us to take the lead (we were going downhill and with the wind first half on a very small pitch). I had to pull off one save right before half time but other than that, neither side really created much first half. Second half, Aylestone came out of the blocks much quicker again and scored early to make it 1-1. Both sides created decent chances before Aylestone went through on goal, I made a save from the 1-on-1 but didn't get enough on to it and the ball dribbled into the net to make it 2-1 to Aylestone. The lads then got stuck in and dug deep as we were now against the wind and hill, creating several clear chances before we eventually stuck one away to make it 2-2. Was frustrating towards the end as it seemed when ever we hit Aylestone on the counter attack, our players were just getting hacked down.


Aylestone are another good side though and I fully expect them to be top 4/5 comfortably this season and gave us a very good and entertaining match. Best of luck to Aylestone, good bunch of lads.

NPE 5-1 Desford: We are more than happy with today's result. We were worried today when are keeper got injured yesterday and we had to put are player of the year ( left winger in goal) this on top of 4 other players missing. It was a decent game and Desford started well but heads seemed to drop after we scored. They got a goal just before half time to make it 3 -1 and brought fresh legs on second half but we managed to get a couple more goals to seal the win. Not a bad start to the season for us considering been put up two divisions. Good luck for rest of season Desford lads on pitch were top class

cheers mate, thought it was closer than that and draw was fair result but enjoyed it, our lads may be talk but your boys look like a walking advert forgolds gym!

keeper was me, just made some lucky guesses!

agree Thurmaston look the likely champions

Polska 3 Aylestone 1.

Over the moon with our start to the season, 9 points from 3 tough games but they are tough every week! We were 3-0 up at half time, and it was realistically game over at the break, although we should have been further in front but the Aylestone keeper was decent.

Second half we did drop off the pace, and also got tired. Coupled with giving the subs a good run out Aylestone pulled one back with 7 minutes to go and sensed something might be in the game for them but left it too late and you can't give teams a 3 goal lead and get away with it. They then got a penalty in the 88th minute but it was superbly saved by Andzrej.

Aylestone are good going forward but do have holes at the back, good luck to them for the season. Thought ref had a very decent game, on to next week where we face (another) tough game - this time against MDH. They lost today but we are not taking them lightly and just need to concentrate on our own game.

RED ADMIRAL 2- 1 HAT AND BEAVER

Savage 2

Good performance today from the admiral,could have scored a few more and rode our luck at times but feel we deserved the 3 points.Beaver hit the woodwork few times but so did we and for most the match looked solid.Good to get win under our belts and go into next wks game full of confidence and with few players back who were missing last few games.New signing savage has added an extra threat upfront for us and his finishing got us the win today.Beaver are no mugs and id be surprised if they dont start picking some points up soon,great bunch of lads and wish them all the best for season.Good old fashioned sunday league game today,enjoyed it and looking forward to playing you again .......

Inter Mivan 2-1 Oak

Oak scorer:
Tom Scott

Frustrated to come away with nothing today. Mivan played very well and were impressed with 2-3 players. Was not happy with the free kick first half which Mivan scored from. To be penalised for a hand ball when your just two yards away is farcical. The Mivan player flicked it up and hit our player on the hand. There was no movement towards the ball. Mivan though went ahead which changed the game as we had to chase it leaving us exposed for the second goal. We managed to hit the bar twice again Really missed 4 players today including our keeper. Shud be at full strength next week.
Well done to Mivan you took your chances and were very strong at the back. Were my favourites for the league and that hasn't changed

( sorry Nugent but u got this one wrong :/ )

There is a long way to go. mivan eagles aylestone will all drop points.

FC Pochin 3 v 1 Mark J Rees (HT 1-0)

We were short on numbers again today, 3 players in America and 3 also out injured from our game last Sunday! Had 12 players including the welcome return of Rio (although he ended up having to go in goal).

As it turned out the scoreline was probably not a true reflection based on chances created, on another day we could have had 7 or 8.

That said, MJR looked dangerous at times and do attack in numbers. They have obviously regrouped since their 1st couple of games and will give plenty of teams a run for their money. The signing of Paulo is a really good move for them, he always scores against my teams and today was no different! He will make them a better team and I fully expect them to get even better as the season goes on.

A decent start to the season for us at Pochin, 3 wins from 4 and a healthy goal difference - I'd have taken that before the season started.

We now move on to Dan and Wigston next week, hopefully the manager will have more players back. Although the keeper is still definitely out and the 3 lads are still on holiday.

Good luck to Paulo and MJR for the rest of the season, good bunch of lads

I was going to nip down to this game this morning but couldnt make it in the end!

sounds like a close game so dont write yourself off too much, some referees give it, some dont, thats football for you.

Agree with you about Mivan looking favorites tho, had some pretty hard opening fixtures and coming away with 10 points out of 12 then youd be stupid to disagree with that, which players were you impressed with from Mivan?

Still think the league will be between Mivan, Aylestone, White Eagles or Yourself though pal.

I have to agree with you mate.

Just a word for the Aylestone lino from the first half today. Don't know who he was and came on second half but kept his flag down for Polska's second goal, 100% any other opposition linesman would have flagged for offside (it did look offside but he was adamant it wasn't), well played and a credit to your club

Cheers Blackie, you have a good set of lads there

We didn't push on after the goal like we should have done really but we competed and that's all I can ask of these boys- with many not played Sunday league before. Personally happy to finally score, but we got beat by a great goal by azza worthy of winning any game.

Gonna be a shame to miss the next few games but hopefully the boys can keep improving

Good luck to blackie and his boys sure they will have a good season

You missed a good match to be fair. Very close game and quite tense. Not an awful amount of chances for either side. Seems like we like to hit the bar too often lately! Mivan had a couple of White lads in the middle of the park who looked good and also one of the centre backs. I think it's a bit out of our reach now. Catching up already is not good so I count us out.

Defo thurmo's to lose we've only played 4 games and are 4pts behind already haha so already in theory we need to beat thurmo twice just put us in with a shout! Can't see it happening

Thurmo with the players they have should win the league just depends on if they can get them every week

Well done thurmo!
Div1 champions 2012
