God knows what's happening with us right now. Good competitive game for the first 35 mins at which point Reem went down to 10 men (don't think the lad meant it but I can't see any complaints with the straight red it wasn't a pretty tackle) at that point we were in the ascendency. 0-0 at half time and the second half started the same and we were rewarded with 2 goals. Then we self destruct again! Fair play to reem they kept going but this is a game we had won and with a load of stupid bickering we threw it away!
Have to admit that we were very lucky yesterday to get the result and was well grafted out by our lads!
After about 60 minutes when we got shipping the ball about and our movement off the ball was as it should be after trying to adapt to the 10 men situation my honest opinion is we could have stuck 5 in.
Have to agree with your bickering comment, but you said it as though our lot were causing the bickering. Some of the MDH lot were pinching on corners etc and little childish things like that, so for that sort of unsporting behaviour to be your own demise i think is just desserts. Such as at the sending off as well, Belly knew he was going but yet about 5 players couldn't wait to wade in and push him and try to beckon the ref to send him... that's not me saying he didn't deserve to go- but the ref didn't need any help with that! That is one of my massive dislikes when opposition players try to get others booked/sent off.
Aside from the silliness we had to deal with was a well battled out game from both sides.
No no no the bickering was all our own doing and hopefully it'll be the last time it happens. I can deal with losing but I absolutely hate the lads having a go at each other - what's the point in turning up to have a go at your mates and look absolutely stupid doing it?!
The sending off incident I disagree with however - a few lads went straight in to tell him what a cad tackle it was - that kinda thing I expect from mates but no-one was brandishing cards or owt like that - they were talking at the lad who tackled him rather than the ref.
Fair to say you couuld have scored a few more once you got going and our keeper pulled off a couple of good stops but saying that we probably should have put it to bed at 2 nil.
Never mind there's always next week but like you say for the most part it was a good competitive game.
Agree to disagree with the sending off incident then (Even though the comment above yours was the refereee saying your lads were having their say). Belly's challenge was rash and a little unnecessary and he held his hands up immediately, and didn't react to any provocation by the aftermath which i'm chuffed with him for.
I think the lads you've got down there despite some attitudes deserve to be higher in the table than they are. I think you can put it down to the fact you've played strong opposition in your first few games, and judging by the first half an hour of the match and first ten minutes of the first half I would expect a top 6 finish from you boys.
100% agreed about your goalkeeper... i told him how much i hated him for saving my one on one chance after the game!
