Banter -13 January

Avoid any snow, avoid any frost - and let's have lots of games

I've heard our Quarter-Final with LK United is off...?? Great... another weekend off and at least 16 more games to play this season, we've not had the best of luck in terms of postponements.

EDIT: Heard it's been called off as Winstanley College has called it off.

Missing a few tomorrow! Let's hope we can pull it out the bag and keep the Alliance flag flying!

If that is the case, the game will automatically be rescheduled for next Sunday - 20 January

Don't seem as bad in wigston

Harborough Hotshots V Desford Atheletic called off by referee even though there was a game going on 2 pitches away

Friar lane 2 CSKA seconds 3

Decent battle against a hard working friar lane. Special mention goes to the gaffer Collis Smith (CSKA17) for scoring the winner. First ever goal for the club

Best game of football we (Blaby Sunday) hae played this season. Played Cfa but we went 1-0 up in the first half as then 2-0 up from a beautiful Andy Lapworth strike in the second half. Then Cfa managed to squeeze one in at the near post and then again in the same corner but from outside te box. They hit in a free kick because of a deflection and then one more in the dying minutes as our heads had dropped.

Brilliant game from us though, great passing shooting and communication. Feel we shall be strong next season.

Well played to the Cfa lads. Great attitudes, good team.
Occasionally getting on at the ref but who doesn't when your losing. Look forward to the return fixture.

Sporting Birstall 0-2 Little Bowden
Burton
Carter

Smash and grab to be honest. We nicked an early goal and defended brilliantly as a unit and restricted Birstall to only one good chance first half. Birstall had a free kick ruled out mid 2nd half as it was indirect and they played it direct so red ruled out. Bagged a late second to seal the win.

Webbys 2-1 MDH

Well played Webbys, were organised as usual and worked very hard for 90 minutes, we had plenty of chances in the first half and probably should have been out of sight but they kept in it and grabbed a winner mid-way through a scrappy second half, again we had chances late on to sneak it to extra time but a combination of their keeper, last ditch clearences and poor finishing cost us, on the balance we should have got something but fair play to them they made it diffucult and took the chances when they came along, good luck in the semi's and hope they can go all the way!

our goal was Dave Brennan.

great win for the lks today 4-1 win against gd dukla side missed apen and had man off after 30 mins on we got should have been 7 or 8 really very well done 2 all alliance teams through in county cups

The curse of being team of the month....

Countersthorpe 2- 4 plough.

Good performance by a improving young countersthorpe team. Very bobbly pitch with what plough struggled to deal with as first touch was bit rusty after no game since mid November which showed, and the young lads was onto them quick. They also won fair share off headers and 50/50 balls. Fair play to them I'm certain they will win by end off season. Still think we had bit more to offer couple off new lads today and our fourth keeper off season settled in well. Nice to have played after six weeks or more off. Hopefully a shorter gap till the next one

Mivan 5 global 0

The game very nearly didnt go ahead and by the sound of it we were the only ones that wanted to play it. We came in today with a game plan ( first time ever) and it actually worked. We recalled one of the old guard to mark Kris Mort and he did just that and more! Won every header and every battle! We controller from start to finish bar a few moments. Our stand in keeper that normally plays CM made a brilliant save from a global peno at 2-0 .After that though we saw the game out and got a clean sheet. Sam Abdulla bagging 2 against his old club.. Proved why we wanted him so much.

Good game and well reffed.

The Harrow 1 - Wigston Fields 2

Ed Titley and Mark Allen for Wigston. Game was on and off as ref failed to show. Got in another ref and we completed the game for our first match for ages. We were very rusty early on but we soon got the passing game going which kept opening up Harrow in the first half. Evcentually we scored through the 'oldest man on the field' Ed Titley (first goal of the season...long overdue!!), we then continued to create and miss chances up to half time.
In the 2nd half we made a few changes and we seemed to lose our energy and calmness on the ball, after a great save by Wigston keeper at close range it eventually led to goal from a corner as we were at sixes and sevens as the ball came in.
Wigston rallied well after seemingly dropping our heads to snatch a goal late on, a quick throw caused havoc for Harrow and Mark Allen stroked the ball in for the winner.
An enjoyable game on a boggy pitch and the Harrow lads were a great bunch.
Fields back to their winning ways!!

Countersthorpe 2-4 Plough.

First game for a while and it showed, made really hard work of this one on a very bobbly pitch. still only one team in it though, other than a very soft free kick and a peno countersthorpe created nothing. still too many missed chances from us though and it should of been far more than 4. But 3 more points in the bag so cant say too much. Would like to say well played and good bunch of lads to the countersthorpe players, but other than a couple of them dont think i have played against a team with such a poor attitude to the opposite team or the ref, who i thought had a good game.
Alot of growing up needed Boys!!!!!!!!!

WRFC 2-1 MJR

Brennan, Mitchell

We went 2-0 up in the first half, then defended solidly in the second. We scored a 3rd, benefit of goal line technology would have made it 3-0 and as good as over, Yards over the line ask the keeper! One of the softest penalties I have ever seen got them back into it and we hung on a little at 2-1. Was a decent game, all the best for the season.

As u might be aware TOM REID has undoubtedly played for us all season and scored a hatful the tom u r on about is tom dawson who IS signed on for us and has been all season but he doesnt come any more so before u try and make us look like mugs that play ringers ithink u need to retract that statement shaun as its not our policy to play ringers and if you want to see the video evidence of this game and all thr others weve filmed i will gladly put ur mind at ease. All the best for the season anyways :-)

That's about how it was. I didn't want to play it, but in all fairness it was the right decision so hats off to Steve Hill for delaying the game for 30 minutes.

Cracking save from your keeper for the penalty. I could have hit it harder but it was right in the corner so he did well to get down.

Mivan look back to their best today and must be a good bet to win the league.

Definitely, big well done to Royal Oak, I'm surprised Hebrew hasn't done a report yet, I've heard there was some major controversy!

Div7 Friar Lane 2-3 CSKA Carnabys 2nds

Made hard work of it today, far from our best, started well but went 1-0 down, then fortunate to go level from a cross, scoring again before half time to go in 2-1. A few nice moves in 2nd half didn't lead to much. Went 3-1 up but friar lane hit back within about a minute. Hanging on for last 10 mins, but think we deserved it, could have put it to bed mid 2nd half, but didn't and imagine friar lane would be frustrated not to have equalised at the end.

Thurmaston WMPC 2 - 3 ROYALE BARCABULLONA

FC Azzuri, we are coming to get youuuu!!!!!!!

Ladies and Gents just a quick one to say any one playing at Vicky Park just be aware of your bags and stuff. Had my bag nicked during the MJR and Wigston game- had all my possessions in- they may want another go as they got away with it today!

Well played to Dan and his lads didnt see 2nd half but always a good game against a good set of lads

Dipped into the January transfer market to bring a few players in. Even missing a few of our most influential players today, 1 being top scorer, 1 being the skipper, so on paper could get even better you never know.

On the other hand, Fosse City, flying. I like how their victory was classed as 'routine' as well, says it all about who your nearest rivals are.

They scored after 1 min with a corner then didn't touch the ball again 1st half in which time we managed to miss a Peno, hit the post and miss an open goal! 2nd half and exactly the same thing they score off a corner in first 5 mins then we dominated got a goal and pushed more for the equalizer ad they caught us on the break! Honestly think we were by far the better side but I think we missed too many chances and were a bit complacent at times! They are an experienced side and play to their strengths! We were naive to be fair, some players let us down on the pitch one let us down by being too pissed to turn up and plus we've lost Fitzy to the army now! But that said our 11 today were still a quality 11 and should of beat them

Fair enough, January market always difficult to judge lol you've obviously done well!!! I think we need to dip into it aswell to be fair!

Sorry to hear you didn't get it back mate, the game really lost something when you went off as you are by far their best player.

Playing with mates fair enough, but gotta be in their first team. Will have to try and keep the ball away from him, esp in the air, hes a bloody monster!!

Same pitch as you mate....Dan mentioned some bloke was walking round selling kits? but we had about 6-7 lads (and ladies) on the side and no one saw a thing....my bag was the outer most one....just glad no real damage has been done
