Yay! Finally, a win. Stirling Uni 2s played host to Edinburgh 7s who we absolutely thrashed last season. The team was looking as fresh as ever; Fresher Cranston was still carrying a few extra pounds. The team fielded a familiar line-up with the addition of the vastly experienced Padders in goal. We played a defensive formation with 3 defenders, a sweeper and a defensive midfielder. The Stirling defence was 98% effective.....like a condom; therefore, it was unlikely Padders was going to get pregnant during this match.
Stirling started the game positively; successfully keeping the ball in the opposition's half for majority of the first half. Padders in nets was only called upon twice during the entire game and made world class saves on both occasions. If he keeps up this sort of form then he will definitely be pushing for a place in the 1st team...Bus-Stop will be shitting a brick. At the other end of the pitch Cletus and chode were creating chances but were unable to finish. Ronny (who is looking rather trim at the moment) blew his whistle to sound the end of the first half.
During the half time discussion we were treated to yet another inspirational talk from Cletus(almost on a par with Martin Luther King) Cough. We started the 2nd half looking for that all important goal that would secure us the three points. Robbie in particular took Cletus's motivational words to heart deciding to run like a headless chicken every time he got the ball. 9 times out of 10 his eagerness yielded poor results. However, on one occasion, using his patented dribble penetration technique(which Rob Dawg says he employs both on and off the pitch) he made it into the D and was left one on one with the keeper. Unfortunately his attempted flick was properly gash! Stirling finally made the breakthrough when Pridzy made a good run down the right flank crossing the ball in for Cletus to slot it home. Not too long after that Chode finally learned to do what is necessary and found the back of the net after Puddle picked him out with a good pass. There were a few more chances in the remainder of the game but it finished 2-0 to Stirling in what was a maiden win for Fresher captain Danny. A big shout out to Chris Priddle's cousin who was playing for Edinburgh, it wasn't until late on Sunday evening that Priddle realised who the handsome devil that kept smiling at him on the pitch was.... and he thought he was getting lucky.
Quote of the Day
Someone: " Padders, did you bring your stuff in a bin bag?"
Padders: " It's functional and cheap"
A lady came into the store one day looking for a road between Newcastle & Carlisle. A road between Newcastle & Carlisle she wanted? A69 she got.
BTW.... Fresher Pistol was an absolute disgrace in the Red Room later on that evening. At one point, he took a stumble on the dance floor and took a veteran down with him... tut tut.
