Rascle sponsered Opta Index

Ok, was tired watching it last night, so i have a feeling i may have missed some stuff. But i logged the goals. The match was a HUGELY fierce one. We can see many stray and late tackles from everyone, including ourselves! But the index goes as follows:

1-0 00.11 Mini intercepts pass, one two with piggy, shoots and scores.
1-1 00.54 Striker turns big rick twice and shoots.
1-2 2.50 Bad shot is taken, the rebound is collected, and passed to john's man, who has acres of space and scores.
1-3 10.40 Free kick to big ricks man. Rick is MILES away. striker takes time to shoot.
1-4 10.55 Striker turns big rick, rides easily past piggy's limp challenge, shoots past both of them to score.
2-4 14.25 Justin passes to mini in the middle, who touches it to John. Justin yells for the pass, john shoots and scores off keeper.
3-4 15.10 From KO, justin takes poor opposition pass, takes a touch and shoots.
3-5 18.25 Striker turns an injury Rascle, goes through a limp piggy tackle, and scores.
********************half time****************
somwhere i missed a goal in the first half i suspect. so score adjusted to 3-6

3-7 32.32 a man down to due Mini's sending off. poor limp control by piggy from belly's pass. Opposition passes to open striker.
4-7 33.12 Pigy shoots, Rascle takes rebound and flicks it out back to piggy whose second chance goes in.
4-8 36.55 Justin slips, stays on floor. opposition passes to rascle's guy who quickly passes to ricks guy. he stands up the ball, passes it to justins guy who is now miles free and scores.
5-8 40.30 Big rick rolls the freekick back to justin who scores.
6-8 43.53 Belly rolls to mini, who passes to justin, who scores.
6-9 44.51 freekick passed to ricks man. rick too slow to tackle. goal scored.
6-10 47.10 ricks guy chips a low cross to mini's man who volleys it into net.
7-10 50.20 Rick turns his guy down the left wing, takes the ball closer to net, and shoots to score last goal of the match.

so, as it goes:

Justin had 16 attemps, NO assists, 3 goals
John had 3 attempts NO assists, 1 goal
Mini had 17 attempts 2 assists and 1 goal
Piggy had 7 attempts, 1 assist, and 1 goal
Rick had 8 attempts, 1 assist, and 1 goal
Russ had 3 attempts, 1 assist, and NO goals

54 shots for 7 goals.
Opposition had around 40(ish) shots for their 10.

I was tired when watching it! so i missed one of their goals somewhere! as i thought it finished 9-7, but powerleague says 10-7.

For the dubious record
Justin was likely at fault for 1 goal, mini for 1, john for 2, piggy for 3, rick for 2, Russ for 1. Tho we could argue that one of piggy's from lite control was actually mini's for being sent off!!

Sum up from that what you will!

I take responsibility for the goal conceeded when I was dismissed as it is very hard to defend with a man down.

Something that is much harder to record, but there was multiple times that Piggy left his man to tackle someone else's man in that match. In short a superb judgement call from him, and if he hadn't done it other peoples "goals responsible for" would be higher.

I'd sum it up as a tough game, with unique reffing, and plenty of lessons to learn from. I hope we don't see a repeat of some of the bigger mistakes.

Fairly sure I got 2 goals. Also reading your little analysis I only seem to be at fault for one of the goals…Anyway whatever, that not important. 

My opinion on my own performance to say I was pretty awful defensively in the first half yesterday – I had absolutely know awareness of what was going on around me, especially for the first 15 minutes or so. And that was disappointing for me as awareness is usually one of my strengths. Thought I was better in the little I played of the second half, despite what I felt were difficult circumstances.

Other people might disagree with me, but I didn’t enjoy that game at all last night. I have no problem with hard physical games, if they are fair. But when the opposition go out purposefully to hit you late and injure you it’s not worth it. I am hobbling round like a cripple this morning. Fair play to them though - they only had 5 players and no subs, and knew they would tire, so they did what they could to stop-start that game, give them a few extra seconds to regroup and get their breath back.

Felt I was alright going forward again (like I said – I thought I had 2 goals, but am willing to be proven wrong).

Special mention to Piggy, who I feel was pretty impressive last night. Stronger in the challenge, and much better defensively. Well done that man!!

Remember, this was an IMPROVED piggy. Not a well played piggy. After watching the replay you can see some good moves by piggy. Yet you can still see him pointing at a man he should be marking, you still see piss weak tackles, and you still see silly first touches on the ball. But its great to finally see him improve!

Pie was god awful i'm afraid mate. you looked knackered after 2 minutes, you spent the whole game arguing with anyone who cared to talk to you. And as soon as you get it inot your head that you're screwed. then suddenly you are, and nothings going to change that.

I think every has noticed that these games are getting closer, wich is good! but that mini and justin still arent scoring a zillion goals! Hope the weather is good sometime this weekend so we can have some shooting practice!

We missed shiz defensively. I remember him saying that he was dying to get on and cream them across the boards! Would have been nice to have that defensive choice!

I also think that rick is a great shot stopper, and he can tackle well! But he is slow at times, and doesnt mark the man well. Whcih meant piggy and mini ended up covering his man.

We can watch the match again this weekend sometime. It is a good one, even tho we lost. because our work rate is much better than before! I know rick said it was all bollocks, but we probably all agree that it was a good performance.

So my fitness, Piggy's first touch, Pie's moaning, and shiz's calf. We're halfway there if we improve all that!

Why was i knackered after 2 minutes? My fitness is so much better - if i hadn't got injured in the second half i could have gone for ages i reckon. Felt pretty good about my fitness to be honest. Looks can be decieveing. But your entitled to your opinion.

As for my moaning - you won't get me to change. I still maintain i am entitled to have a go if i am being kicked around the park. But thats that...

looks can indeed be deceiving! Like when the ref asks me if i'm dying! But you giving up after a challenge, and watching the guy run off shows that you had tired legs!!! thats the point i try to sub off before!

And no. you are not entitled to yell bloody murder at all and sundry. If you have a go at piggy for stuff, you have to accept that your biggest failing is the yelling and complaining. Calling for the foul is fine. and even a quick "come on ref, thats shocking" is fine. as we all do it! But when teh ref says "do you want to get sent off as well" you DO NOT say "may as well do!". I fail to see how this helps the team!!!

But yes, as you say, we're all entitled to our opinions. And i shall eat my hat the day that your yelling actually helps the team in a positive way!

"But you giving up after a challenge, and watching the guy run off shows that you had tired legs!!! "

I hope i never give up after a challenge! If i'm slow to react, how is that anything to do with my fitness? Maybe my reactions...but not my fitness.

In my opinin (and again its my opinion) i am one of the first to come off before i am knackered (along with, in my opinion, Shiz and yourself Russ among others). If i am tired or getting anywhere near that i am off as soon as i can be.

On Thursday i don't remember shouting at Piggy once, so i don't understand your point. With the ref, well again we all have our own opinions, but i did what i felt was right at the time. To be honest, i would probably still do the same thing again, because i haven't heard a good enough argument not to. The "walk away, just get on with it" doesn't work as the first half proved yesterday - we let them get away with the occasional thing early in the first half and they got more and more aggressive, dirty and late as the half went on in my opinion.

At the end of the day its all about opinions. If people have criticsm of me then fair enough - i do try to take it on board. But i doubt you will be able to curb my enthusiasm and passion for wanting to do my best for the team.

just watch the tape tomorrow. you'll see what i mean about "throwing the dummy out the pram".

And we would never ask any to not show passion, only to channel it in the right fashion. Shiz always has the right arguement when he tells you yelling at the ref the way you do doesnt work. whether or not you think its the right arguement he uses is your choice!

Right well look i have listened to your opinions, and whilst i disagree with a lotof it, i will try to curb my aggression in future as thats what you feel would help help. I can't guarentee i'll be able to but i will try.

Do or do not, there is no try

If you want to do your best for the team, don't turn the ref against us and don't get sent off (though Mini has apologiesed for that)
