Another night, another 3am, another blog.
After telling myself i wouldn’t be playing monday night football as much anymore, what did I find myself doing tonight? Yes you guessed it, Relentless effort on the pitch in the heat and humidty of this odd October weather. If you say you dont believe in global warming, you are in denial.
The games at “power league” are 50 minutes long, 25 each way with rolling subs every 5 minutes, maximum of 7 players, 5 players on the pitch at anyone time… Obviously.
Somehow tonight we managed to be 3-0 down inside 5 mins, which is near enough impossible, and even more unlikely when you are absolutly dominating the game and can’t comprehend how the other team has scored 3 goals when you have been literally camped in there half, Very frustrating.
Obviously the might “Dagobah” dug in, and came back to win 10-3, 45 minutes without conceding, by far our best ever defensive effort and at 3-3 I took my turn as sub for 5 minutes and all i could think of was “Currahee” the first episode of “Band Of Brothers” and how in some pathetic way in my mind i saw tonight as our own little mentality war and we won every battle on that pitch.
By far our greatest ever comeback and one of our best ever performances left me feeling so pumped tonight that I can’t wait to hit the gym in a few hours time.
