We picked up 3 more points last night in a good win, the final score being 4 -1.
Maybe for the first time in this league we got a slice of luck after 15 minutes we got an og from a corner. Paul then made it two running onto a really great pass from mark and slotting nicely. after the break we conceded a soft goal i thought, there were a few of us around it myself very much included and we just didn't clear it.
Chris score the vital goal as we were getting a bit jittery , powering his way through. I got the fourth, lobbing the keeper. We stuck to the new formation and it seems to be coming together a bit.

Ref Watch : I thought he did ok, probably not the worst match to ref as it was quite sporting

A little while ago ...

Midleton main st 1968 , my grandads butcher shop ..

Places I'd rather be ...

Mangerton mts near killarney

Galtee Mor Mountain .. near Mitchelstown

A Win

3 points .. that's the main thing .. we changed formation last night and i think it worked. We won 4 - 3 but that flatters them a fair bit i think as we created oceans of chances but didn't really put them away . As is customary we conceded early but got back to one a piece quickly enough, paul and chris combining well, we then went 2 -1 down but a peno for us brought it back to 2 -2 at the interval. Literally straight after the break we went 3 -2 up chris and paul again. Noel put us 4 -2 up but we still couldn't bury them despite a fair few opportunities. In the last seconds they scored to make it 4 - 3.

Ref Watch : He was quiet good to give him his due ..

The formation was quiet fluid last night

The Winner takes it all

Pub quizs are always good fun i find, last night i went along with CB to one in Midleton. Our team was made up of myself Chris, Paul and John (the latter three all teachers in midleton college).
Our luck was in the questions seem to be suiting us and after 4 rounds we were 31 out of 40 which doesn't sound great but it was joint second. the next three rounds we scored 29 out of 30 the picture round really going our way. Coming into the last round aware that we were 2 ahead nerves started to jangle it didn't help that the last round was a local knowledge round , chris literally bolting (ludcriously pretending his phone was ringing) out the front door of the pub and running up the town looking for the answer to one question, fate was to take a hand though knowing perhaps that we had blatantly cheated to get the answer we contrived to still get that question wrong.
the scores being called out we knew we couldn't be caught self- congratulatory badinage became the order of the day. After getting a warm round of applause we were presented with a bottle of jameson whicky each .. which will now be put on ice till the jazz.

Last round up !!!

The Great Man .. Himself

Ben & Jerry O'Connor .. let there hair down

More high jinx

Something new ...

A new section starts today : "Things that are really annoying me "

• Football (both playing and watching .. i have got the hump big time with football at the mo)
• Home and Away .. the worst tv program in the history of television .. the odd time i have to see it makes me sick to my stomach

• at this moment i think everything is annoying (putting this down to really bad humour )

NB and Sean getting Jiggy ...

Eyes on your work ..

Disappointing

Yet another classic CB snap (plastic thing on glasses)

There they are, all the lads .. here now

Classy ..

I'm a happy camper !!

Cormo or Bruce Springsteen ?

A very disappointing 3 - 6 reverse last night. Within 10 minutes of the start we were 2 down .. but came right back to make it 2 - 2 , we then went on to concede again making it 3 -2 at half time. It still wasn't bad, I fancied us to win at that stage because we had most of the possession but could not seem to create any chances. A few mistakes cost us in the second half but these things happen. Donogh got a great goal straight from the corner Keith Morel style . That was as good as it got in the second half though .

Ref Watch : This guy does not like us and accordingly gave us very little

Noel came on a sub

Pamplona (Kinsale) Tales

The holiday hadn't even started at this point ... NB and Feisty seem to be flagging (slightly)

The key question here is "What is chris wearing ?"

NB, Sean and pal

Friday Roundup

1. Ireland Lose to Cyprus .. Brian Kerr gets the road ( I definitely don't want this to come true however i think there is a distinct possibility)
2. England get Hammered .. Sven gets road ( Ideal world scenario)
3. Chris drinks mineral water whilst out with the lads tonight
   
4. NB and SR take to the road as comedy duo "The ferrits" meeting with very mixed reviews
5. Keith Morel breaks Around Ireland sailing record posting an explosive time that many feel may never be bettered, Morel cites time spent training in the exclusive royal yacht club in crosshaven as the "key"
6. AB causes a major Kerfuffle because he was not asked back onto the Penarol panel for the new winter league
   
7. I finally buy a watch on ebay .. playing cagey until making an audacious last minute swoop.
8. http://seaninryan.blogspot.com/ breaks down due to massive traffic on site because of latest post with exclusive pic of "Shakey"
   

A Passage to India

If this snap is anything to go by we have a lot to be thankful for in this country crap health service or not ..

A great bunch of lads

Marie (sister) Himalayas in the background

How' s the form lad ?

Rickshaws aplenty ..

Disappointment

Jimmy Floyd Hasselhoff aka Jay Jay Okocha .. when bolton played at Turners Cross last year .. unfourtunately this is the best snap i have of the great man

Match Report :

We went down 2 -1 last night .. in a tough encounter .. I feel pretty gutted actually, we tried hard but didn't seem to get any luck plus there keeper made a few really great saves , i guess we will have to bounce back. I think our scope to get better as a team is good though we are still learning how to play together but i have no doubt it will come together. For today though i guess we will have to lick our wounds and come back for more next week. This weeks special mention goes to steve who I thought had a great game between the sticks.

Ref Watch : Cetainly gave us nothing, also tendencey towards loving the sound of his own voice

Team :

Steve
Mark Donogh
Paul Chris
Sean

Dave came on Noel sat this one out as he was feeling poorly

7 Dominics Tce .. a great bunch of lads

Cormo not loving the camera action

CB in good form .. CB really hasnt got the exposure on this site his larger than life personality deserves .. The administrator will attempt to rectify this

Monday Blues ==>> the anti Friday d-reams page

Another westlawn gem .. the piece of paper looks older than it is .. at least i think it does

Friday revisited

• Liverpool were tanked by chelski
  
• To my knowledge Sean Ryan broke no records national or international
• there was no assassinations botched or otherwise
• wanderly luxemburgo did not call
• Roy Keane despite tabloid speculation will not tog out for penarol next season
• there were no top brass resignations

• some light at end of tunnel though with sunderland sustaining there run .. they are now unbeaten in two ..

in short a poor effort all round by me
