December 1st 2009, The Norse God, Thor (god of rain) showed us just how much power was at his will giving us typical weather found in Scotland. Yes it kept pouring rain from the break of dawn till the sun fell. This however did not stop the guys of Flyboys from driving through the rain (good thing I haven’t washed mine yet), whom where very eager to put on the Flyboys jersey and try to make the unbeaten run 7 games with a win over the opponents for the day RBRC.
I can’t quite describe what happen between 4.30-4.45pm as I was still making my way to the field after having a nice shopping spree buying boxers. 4.45pm I got to the field rushed up to the locker room, put on my gear while I was trying to have a pre-match cigarette but was only told off to put out my freshly lit up cigarette and get on the pitch by the one and only Manager/Player Hj Effendy whom told me to play on the left hand side of midfield. I wasn’t there when the manager was giving the formation but from a quick glance around the pitch before I’d take a wild guess that the following was the formation used =P
GK : Nathaniel
RB : Hafiz CB: Nas CB: Azman LB: Hj Effendy
RM: Clem CM: Aziri CM: Somebody LM: Ismail
F: Kenny F: Syazwi
(Note: RBRC were in White jerseys, Flyboys were in Yellow as the officials wore Red)
Kick Off:
The opponents had kicked off the first half and both teams tried to gain control right away, it turned into a non-stop battle in the middle as player’s were slipping and sliding all over the place due to the scientific results of surface + water = no friction hence the result mentioned earlier is obtained =P
Flyboys had some really good chances at goal as did the opponents but luckily our defense despite the frictionless surface managed to hold them off, Kenny tried a pot shot to goal which was denied by the keeper, Syazwi follows up only to be denied yet again by the keeper. Some good crosses into the box, but unfortunately our boots were filled with water we couldn’t jump as high as the sky. Ismail took a free kick which only managed to hit some guy from the wall in the face and quickly took another shot at goal, he hit it hard, tension rises for in a split second Ismail could be celebrating, and yes it’s a bull’s-eye right in the private parts of the very same player, ball bounces into the path of Kenny whom tried his luck, the ball gets past the crowd of defenders but sadly was easily picked up by the goalie.
Not long after intense pressure from the Flyboys side, the opponents played a ball up front unleashing their right back whom I’d say was in the right place at the right time, took on one or two of the Flyboys defenders with the help of water and gravity, and slotted one pass Nathaniel.
RBRC 1 – 0 Flyboys
Flyboys yet again maintained pressure for the rest of the 1st half, with great saves coming from Nathaniel, outstanding defending by Nas & Azman whom stopped at nothing to make sure RBRC weren’t going to get another goal, great vision from Hj Effendy and Hafiz whom provided well played passes up front for the midfielders and strikers. Clem and Ismail tried their all to provide the strikers with decent passes and crosses. Aziri worked hard in the midfield and was most definitely a key player for the match. Kenny and Syazwi on the otherhand gave their all, chasing that naughty fast ball (sounds kinky =P)
Halftime:
As all halftimes are all similar, it’s the usual gasping for air, players sitting down drinking and trying to focus on a good mentality for the second half, but the only difference for today’s halftime was someone sold Clem to the opponents and bought a player from the RBRC team, and also someone persuaded Roslan to play with us. Not much was changed to the formation, the newly bought player played in right midfield, Syazwi came off to make way for someone whom played in centre midfield up along with somebody, and Aziri pushed up front in an attacking midfield role.
Second Half:
Flyboys kicked off the second half with a nice fast pace which gave trouble to the opponents, sadly it meant more slipping and sliding around for everyone on the pitch. I suppose the 2nd half was pretty much Flyboys pushing and trying so hard to get an equalizer, and the best shot of the match would go to Aziri whom fired a wicked mean ball from 30 meters out, the ball left the ground elevated at 45 degree and half way out from goal the ball started to dip downwards and on goal, the ball drew closer and closer tttttiiiiiiiinnnnnggg off the crossbar and away from the goalie but in the path of Syazwi. He swung his leg and right before he could complete his shot was rudely interrupted by 3 Ninja Assassins, I mean 3 defenders. Right when Flyboys was about to turn the score around time was up and we had to accept a loss. 5 more minutes we would of scored two goals and won the game, I’d bet my boxers on it.
Sorry the second half was short, it’s cause I was mainly shocked and couldn’t believe my eyes that a magical unicorn was running around the football field, naaa actually I just can’t remember the details but hey would be cool if I did see a unicorn. Anyways all in all I’d say we played our best and had fun.
