Women and children fear not, Viagra was not involved in this game. The horn referred to was courtesy of the South African contingent in the crowd warming up for the World Cup.
What a spectacle they witnessed tonight. It may not have been Viagra but something got the boys exited tonight and that was goal after goal after goal. No you have not tuned into the wrong reporters script we are talking about the lowly Hobbits who played a blinder of a game tonight..11 – 4 was the final result in this demolition of a good Sanga team and a win worthy of the championship.
If only these same players had been there for previous games it could have been a battle for the top not the bottom.
The Hobbits again were short of players through illness, suspicious travel and feigned injury (Misfit Meikle’s performance as the “injured party” was still on display tonight as he hobbled about on the sideline trying to remember what side to limp on). It may have been his un-understandable Scottish comments being thrown at the team that forced the play, but most probably was just his absence from the defence, but something worked tonight and worked well.
Young Jon Gallichan in goal “on loan” in the first half and then the well seasoned Selwyn Taylor “another loan player” in goal in the second, both turned in very professional performances and were responsible between them for the low score by the Sanga team who must have been aghast at the amount of brilliant goalkeeping they encountered and must have been shell shocked at the end of this game..
The team tonight, “the dream team’ consisted of Invincible Ian, Big Ben, Back Heel Molefi , You Watt and Paper Doyley.
Paper played through the pain barrier tonight and apart from the face pulling every time he kicked the ball you would never have guessed at the bout of gout causing the pain. Face pulling similar to having sex he was heard to comment (no we don’t get it either and don’t want to!) Perhaps Viagra did have a part to play in tonight’s game after all! Doyley played like the consummate professional he is setting up many chances and scoring several from long range.
“You Watt’ again played the hard man in defence and midfield playing a sublime game setting up many goals, tackling hard when needed and scoring as well. Hell everyone scored!
Invincible Ian had many thunder shots at goal and played one of his best games tonight as did Big Ben including a few noses rather than headers. The two big men combined well with many a goal scored between them as the ball flew past the Hapless Sanga keeper tearing into the net. Again, football poetry in motion, a delight to behold.
Now to Molefi the “Back Heel King” who in recent weeks has had some astounding misses whilst trying to show to the world the South African Skills he has brought to this sun burnt country and gained him the nickname. Tonight he was forbade to do anything like that “None o’yer fancy fitba here ok” Misfit was heard to instruct at the start of the game (well we think that’s what he said…Jimmy!).
Molefi was doing so well, until Paper tried to emulate him, then the gloves were off and the fitba patter flowed freely. Best example of this being the “Kings” weaving through around 4 players (5 aside football, remember) before scoring. The concrete walls at BRAC shook like a mini earthquake to the sound of the horns following this one man show!
A brilliant performance from the Hobbit boys tonight indeed the sort of game that even the most cynical Hobbit fans would find hard to fault.
Next please!!
