Im back playing three a week but this thread will remain untroubled .... think the knee injury has robbed me of the magic ;-;

My knee is so weird. With the aid of a spectacular new knee brace, I played tonight because we were a couple of men down; I thought I'd just make up the numbers. But the brace was awesome! Scored three or four, the best of which was George Weah-esque; picked it up in our area from a defensive corner, and too, it all the way upfield before rolling it under the keeper. In 25 degree heat on AstroTurf, that was quite an effort.

last night then
hour-long five a side in a game where maybe 3 of our team was lazy or incompetent, vs maybe 1 of their team. they should have scored 35. we changed keeper every two goals. my two stints in goal took up more than half the time. we won that time 11-4. my two stints out of goal were characterised by us conceding almost every shot we faced, and trust me here my outfield play wasn't the issue. to say my keeping was on fire is an understatement. but anyway, as 9pm ticked around the game was actually and miraculously tied at 16-16 after a truly bizarre scoring sequence (5-1 up, 12-6 down, 15-12 up) and the shout NEXT GOAL WINS went up. and friends, I chose THAT moment to do something I hadn't done all evening
I SCORED A GOAL FFS

I scored four a couple of weeks ago, including the one that got us to 11-9 up after having been 6-0 down very early on. Sadly I also conceded their equaliser at the death.
Scored one tonight, but then completely missed the ball in exactly the same spot later on, under no pressure.

i played the first game with my new work crowd today and rose like a former ulster boys u13 high jump champion at the far post to head home the winner from a corner
it was the winner because the guy marking me hit the back of my head and fucked up his eye worse than the "cut me" scene in rocky and had to be carted off to emergency

im gone a yard slow and very one footed, but every few weeks that foot is romarios. had the pleasure of a beaten opponent shouting "i cant stop the fat cunt" into the turf at a late stage tonight as another one went across the keeper and in off the far post.
