Match Number 14

30 October 1999, Highbury, YBR changes the system and gets us a 0-0 at a ground we had grown used to getting spanked at. Martin Keown should have been sent off, but a rock solid back 4 of Domi, Dabizas, Marcelino and Pistone (Bartinho being banned) were protected by a classy Franck Dumas as the extra body who constantly appeared at the right place at the right time, and also John Karelse who made some fine stops on the day, including a point-blank effort from Davor Suker. There was also a did-it-didn't-it ball over the line incident for the Arse which need not detain us - I'm certain that the referee's assistant was perfectly placed and has 20/20 vision.
Points
Karelse 5 (Joker)
Dabizas 0 (Suspended - although he would have picked up another booking today)
Marcelino 2
Dumas 5 (Joker)
Pistone 2
Lee 1 (booked - first of season)
Solano 2
Speed 2
Domi 2
Gallacher 2
Shearer 2
Ferguson 1 (sub)

Special mentions for The Gallowgate, who came up against the least effective PLU display of the season, but somehow managed to go one lower; shame on you. Also Blaydon Racers and Duncan's Disorderlies who managed a pathetic 2 and 3 points respectively. One can only assume it was a dubious penalty, misplaced on the spot, which rebounded off the crossbar and deflected off the back of the keeper's head and was narrowly adjudged to have crossed the line inside the post before rolling back out again. Far East betting rings are said to have made record profits.

Athletico Backworth must be kicking themselves that despite being the top scorers in the Premier Division they are still playing second fiddle to Steph's Superstars since they have also let in more than anyone else in the top 7. Chevy's Choppers also have no need to feel downhearted since they could jump 4 places if they win their fifteenth game.

Gloating rights on the South coast are claimed by Galaxy who sears into the lead in her household. Could be some grumbling at morning porridge from wor Yelli :-)

Whay do you mean. It was a fantastic defensive performance. We had three goals disallowed. That Linesman was a disgrace, absolutely no idea. What was he on, I think I'll report him to the FA.

Referee?? Referee?? Don't get me started on the ref. Blind? Blind doesn't come into it. He's got less sight than a very short sighted thing on a particularly bad day. How he could m,iss the fouls on all of my defenders and the goalkeeper before they fliked a goal.

I think it's time for my lie down.

Oi!!! I thought you said you called it a 0-0 draw when both teams had pathetic scores!!!

-- Anonymous, May 08, 2000

Only when equally pathetic...had either of those 'performances' been against a high-scoring side I'd have given them extra goals to demonstrate the lacklustre defence. However, this was restricted to a 1-0 to prevent either side gaining any table advantage from the 'goals for' column. I think you are right, however, and I shall float the proposed rule change for any future seasons (along with home-advantage, transfers and injuries) and I thank you for bringing it to my attention [makes mental note to fix next match to the detriment of the smart arse :-7]

Dear BBSPCL FA Chairman,

I would like to apologise for my outburst following our (deserved) 1-0 defeat to Dunc's D's. I should have studied the rules more carefully and then I'd have realised how a team can score despite having no shots, let alone any on target, in the entire match.

I trust you find this grovelling acceptable.

We look forward to a long cup run with a suitable fixture selection. To aid you in your selection I will be sending you the payment for the fine you are almost certain to impose on me for bringing the game into disrepute.

Yours,

Rude Bullet

PS Is the Blaydon Racers 2 point total a record?

Top of table clash coming up. The Droopers will be up for it, as it were. Nice to see they've been performing despite the complete absence of the manager for two weeks...
