Now straight away ill say this judgement may be more to do with me being biased and half blocked, but I thought we couldve come out with at least a draw against these boys today  I thought, along with 99% of everybody else that it would be backs against the wall for us for 90 minutes today but in truth it was anything but. 1st half we missed a couple decent half chances which we could have scored from probably shaded most of the possession, and up until 45th minute, bar an offside chance when they hit the bar, they hadnt a shot on target. Unfortunatley they scored a scrappy goal right right on half time which they didnt deserve at all. 2nd half we had a go at them and had a few more half chances but couldnt take. They scored a couple goals from sloppy play again which basically killed the game. With about 15 minutes left we scored a goal when fish set up Froggy for a goal and 10 minutes later Fish hit the post with a great effort which ran along the goal line without going in and game ended soon after. In my 5 years at Mich Ive never seen us as competetive as we were today as we hit tackles all day along against them boys because we knew straight away they would try to itimidate us and mix it up (they had 3 players booked in first half hour through reilly tackles!) Leroy couldve got at least 6 bookings alone but didnt even get one  Anyway, although we were beat, far more positives came out of today than negatives, and if we could just bring that kinda of performance into the league then we still might be competing with the big boys. No shame in that defeat at all today, if anything we were more disappointed we didnt get a result! I dont know if its just they thought we would be a pushover today and didnt take us seriously, but they have no chance of winning the shield this year  |

honestly mate, they were nowhere near as good as I thought they were. It maybe was to do with them just thinking they would turn up and turn us over ( they turned up @ 1.15 for a 1.30 kick off  ) Pretty funny after half an hour when we were on top they hadnt a clue how to react so just started kicking and slabbering! |

Forgot to say yesterday I thought hte ref was very good. He did get a few dodgy ones wrong but you expect that. He said before the game that he wouldnt take any players slabbering to him but would let the captain of each team speak to him if they didnt agree with anything. He also explained almost every decision he made, which was good cause even though he was maybe wrong he said how he seen it and thats why he made his decison which you cant really agrue with. There was a few dodgy tackles flying around as well and could of got way out of hand at a stage but he never lost control of it all.

They had the 2 young lads who played off the big man up front and thats how they played the whole game against us. To be fair Mark Burnside won 90% of everything in the air against the big lad and it was only cause we shot ourselves in the foot with silly mistakes (same as yesterday!) how they beat us. Had no plan B when the big long ball wasnt working so they just kept doing it! How did the game end up yesterday anyway? Carniny will be kicking themselves cause that cup was there to be won this season |
