Testicle INflammation has subsided. No pain, no obvious morphological issues.

IN

Need to check with the wife whether I'm allowed or not

see you there.

but be interested to play at some point. What's the standard like?
I am slow as fuck after various ankle and knee injuries but not completely shit on the ball.

just very little acceleration after knackering both ankles at Uni and being too lazy to go to the doctors/hospital/physio.

Don't wear blades on 3G guys. Real bad idea.

Mostly played 5-a-side for past 4-5 years 11-a-side sounds a bit like hard work.

if James is IN then I'll play as a tough-tackling defensive free role, y'know, a hardman unleashed

But if you find yourselves in desperate need of a once talented defender with chronic knee problems then let me know.

returning from injury

gotta move out my flat on that day.

He plays left mid.

but can't let you know til tomorrow.

Sam (from close range), Joe (header) and Dan (curler from the edge of the box)

Their equaliser was slightly against the run of play, so in that sense we *should* have won, but they were all over us for the last 10 minutes so we did well to hold the draw in the end.

Thought Matt and Dave were great at centre-back, and Anthony had a good debut at full back too. Loui(e/s) had a brilliant second half in defensive mid, completely destructive.

Highlights:
meths' relieved/sad face after scoring
the ref not giving any handballs
the crab not passing to anyone, ever
hoogy's heart-in-mouth goalline slice
james jumping up and down shouting and punching the crossbar after said goalline slice

Good game, lads.

Decent game. Felt a bit unsatisfied, and thought we shouldve put it to bed before they got the equaliser. But given the pressure we were coming under towards the end, maybe a draw is an ok result.

Lovely, lovely pass from Chris for my goal. Chris was great all game actually. Ben was always a great outlet and did some great running. James in goal as always was fantastic.

Not an excuse, but I rolled my ankle in the first half, so couldnt run as fast for the rest of the game. Sorry.

credit to our (not supposed to be) front 4, who defended from the front, bayern style.

1 goal and 1 assist rockets my all time DiS stats up to 1 goal and 1 assist. Eat that Stewart Downing.

Cleared up more through balls, one on ones, goal mouth scrambles, and close range shots than I can remember.

Bit annoyed at myself for overthinking the shot after doing a really good 1-2 with Sam.

Shame we conceded so near the end, but we had been soon well to keep them out. LJ and GKJames were incredible. Bens work rate is amazing as well, especially when he then told me he'd already played once that day.

Had good fun albeit the rust of having not played for a while showed in some of my defending. Have to say Dave was excellent at marshaling the defence into line.

Despite the frustration of conceding an equaliser when we were well on top, a draw was a fair reflection of the game overall. Some scrambled clearances and heroic blocks from the defence and James kept us in it.

I think we played some decent football at times, and even when we had periods of being on the back foot, we still tried to keep the ball on the floor, passing it around the midfield and finding gaps to send the front 3 through. Sometimes it didn't work and there were individual errors, but I'd rather lose the ball trying to play properly, you know? Anyway, well done all, was an enjoyable game.

Matt impressed on debut and almost goes without saying that we relied on James. Ben was really useful as ever, great to have him back in the team. Nice goals from the Smee bros.

Enjoyed how rubbish (for the most part) the Crab was. Didn't enjoy how high-pitched he was.

My first experience of the Lovely Ref - found him to be as advertised.

Thought we largely did well. Dan was always an option to pass to & the forward players did a lot of intelligent running. Defensively we more or less held our shape against some tricky forward play & Dave did very well indeed, aberration for 1st goal aside. James was enormous as usual. A good match-up and a deserved result; we should play them again.
