Meadows Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This was our final league game tonight at Peffermill.With the league wrapped up,it gave us the chance to try out some new formations and tactics against Aegon who needed the win to qualify for the cup stages. It was no surprise that Aegon settled the quicker,passing the ball well and pushing forward.However meaningless game or not,we rolled up our sleeves and started to compete.With both teams playing well it was Aegon who took the lead with a penalty,awarded for a needless tug as the ball was being cleared.An indiscretion our young defender won't repeat!! Big Bruce was unlucky not to save as he dived the correct way. We then controlled the ball for the remainder of the first half,with Brian Latto confirming his refereeing skills (or lack of) by disallowing a perfectly good 'goal' for offside,even the opposition were ready to take centre!!! Half time JKB 0 Aegon 1 The second half saw another tactical change with perennial youngster Flogel is God coming on to bolster the middle of the park.Again we pressed and pressed,some excellent passing and moving bringing shot after shot,sitter after sitter.On another day Savage,Andy,Jambojim,Gasbottle and Basher would all have scored.Following a quickly taken free kick we lost possession,then allowed the winger to run 70 yards before slotting home,amazingly their first shot on goal in approximately 30 minutes. Such was our possession that if it was boxing the ref would have stopped it! We pulled one back when savage scored with probably his hardest opportunity of the night.Pressing for the equaliser,with Beejam forging forward from defence we continued to fire in shots from all angles with no reward. All in all, a great game! Especially for the large crowd,with the Aegon players admitting they were very lucky to hang on. FT...JKB 1 Aegon 2 Our league campaign and unbeaten run are now over, huge congratulations to all the team.we ARE the Champions!! Well Done to each & every one,it is a big commitment to finish work early and fight the rush hour traffic to reach the games.Some of the guys leave the house at 7am and dont get back till 9pm on match days. We will soon know our opponents in the cup, and will keep the posters who have offered support by turning up or in these threads or by PM up to date with our progress.

And there was me going round their team in the office today saying to them "see you are playing JKB tonight, they will feckin murder you". Ah well, i am sure I will cope with the backlash tomorrow.

flogelisgod Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 think the fact that it was a no meaning game to us really took that edge out of the game that we usually show. really played more in exhibition stuff where we all tried to do too much with the ball rather than the passing and moving that we usually do. I would suggest we get a bounce game one night or a fun training session in preparation for the quarters just to get us back to shape. your thoughts?

Basher dont be too hard on yourself, you did get one (pity about the ref) and midfielders should make chances for the forwards.Your contribution over the season has been immense.

savage Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 agree with meadows match report, the keeper of aegon had a charmed life and even saved shots he did not see or turned away from. no excuses though we need to start taking the chances we create because if it had finished 8-2 to us tonight there could be no complaints. i think aegon are the best side we have come up against and they had some good players but on chances created it was a hameering. it's goals that count though so look forward to meeting them in the latter stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher the jambo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I didnt think number 15 was that great.

The only problem with that is the fact Brian would never have given the penalty. As Iceland were one-nil down he would have gave them a hand to get the scores back even. This is the guy who thinks his perfect day is a 4-4 draw, plenty of goals but no losers. Plus the fact he would still be in the centre circle being overly friendly with certain players to notice the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bash has said, its easy to say these things. If you can show the commitment that the team, including the gaffer, has had over the past year, then your comment would actually mean something. Going into this game, we were unbeaten and scored no less than 5 or 4 goals per game. We had already won the league so it was just to try out new formations etc...
