Storm In A Tea Cup …
After last weeks diabolical draw against Aston Youth, the game against highflying nethanderals Meriden was to be a serious three pointer at the memorial ground.
From the kick off Meriden looked far livelier, switching play from left to right, so was it no surprise that Wulfs found themselves three nil down after fifteen minutes.
After the fifteen minute mark the game erupted with blatant foul play from both sides, even our Ken who was sitting in the dugout wanted to shove his walking stick up a Meriden players arse.. Nice one Ken.
Once the fourth XI started playing, the chances to score came. Chris Nicholls was guilty of missing the first chance when he couldn't keep his shot down from Gareth Prosser's square ball.
A throw in five minutes later from on loan Wulf Richard Marsh found Nicholls's head with the flick on from the front post with Joe Le Taxi Caddick scoring at the back post to put the fourth XI back in the game.
The second half became more of a battle with both sides creating chances and lots of late challenges especially from the Neanderthals of Meriden.
But it was Meriden who had the final say when they scored to make it four from an offside which Gordie Brown flagged only for the ref to say the player wasn't interfering, well I guess he was walking back, happened to stick out a boot and score, clearly not offside my arse.
Today was another shining example of how far we have come this season. We have a long way to go after today's showing .
I must mention two things at this point, the animal was class in goal today, a worthy contender for players player this season.
My second mention goes to a fellow Old Wulf, Roscoe Hale who collapsed in the second's game against Wakes and was ushered into an ambulance. Myself and all the fourth XI wish Roscoe a quick recovery.
Ref watch: The ref was shocking. Since when have two footed tackles been allowed in football. Also may I add what's the point of having linesmen if your not going to use them for offsides?
Moan of the match: Wrighty - turn your shirt the right way f**king round next week, the woman at the laundrette is on my case. She has no teeth, is aged about 70 and keeps giving me the eye.
Taxi of the match: Player Manager Chris Nicholls gets the nod for the second successive game despite kicking everything that moved and wanting knock the Meriden number three's teeth out before halftime, he also missed from 6 yards out to join the Jacob "I can't score from 6 yards out club" Leadham. By the way Jacob you can have your dvd back next week. Ronnie Rosenthal what a w***er.
******** Taxi For Nicholls ********
Final score: Old Wulfrunians 1 Meriden Athletic 4.
