UU vs ______ [freaky good random team] (19-03-06)
back!...BACK with a vengeance...
just like the wicked wings i had last night
just a tip to all of you out there.
never eat ANY wicked wings the night before your FIRST day at work!
it's a pain in the ass.
literally.
("someone get me my haemhorroid floatie chair!")
so onto other less painful (not for peter! as you'll see later) topics... INDOOR SOCCER
we actually started off quite well! ie. we didn't let any goals in for the first 1o or so minutes!
however, the opposition slowly but surely crept up to us, like a looming 7 hour exam on a saturday (who has exams on saturday anyway?!) on all topics medical.
before we knew it we were a couple of goals down.
indeed this was the proverbial fire up our asses (not the wicked wing type thankfully) because it FIRED us up to score the next 2 goals to equalise with them!
in the end however, due to many factors unknown to yours truly (since i don't know much about good tactics OR good play. and anyway, i can't remember.) the opposition managed to get away with 3 goals in quick succession! in 2 minutes! WOW...talk about fast kicking! i can't even kick my pants on in 2 minutes!
the final score : we lost 4 v 9
justin started on the field indeed, bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready and pumped to put in for the team.
as usual his hard running, good positioning and fancy dribbling paid off in a nice goal, right in the back of the net, causing an eruption of supporters to shoot up and shout glee. (the only other eruption being the drink in my open bottle splattering everywhere as i, myself, shot up in the middle of drinking, and shouted my encouragements to the man of the minute. yes, my friends, overspill is never good, even if you are doing it for a winning goal. and even if it's water. and even if it only spills onto your shirt.)
the only thing not so "on-target" and "winning" about justin was his choice of runners.
overheard at the stands of UU supporters : "hey look vic! that guy has the same runners as juzzy! ha-ha! juzzy's gonna be pissed about that!"
(disclaimer : that was ken who said that)
cath as usual was a steady and stable offender, again staying up for some time at our offence end (like a good smell?... she wore deodorant).
but not only did this pint size lady stay up and guard over our offending passes to shoot for goal, she also put tremendous pressure on opponents many times bulkier than herself.
there were a few nail-biting, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, fall-off-your-seat-becos-you-were-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, hit-your-head-on-the-seat-becos-you-fell-off-your-seat moments there where cath cleanly kicked the soft, green, bulbous, elliptical, ball-shaped...
ball ...
to either be skilfully blocked by the opposition's keeper (no kids that's GOAL keeper, not the qudditch keeper type. go home harry potter)
or to narrowly miss the goal. much like how i often narrowly miss the ball trying to kick it.
ok i lie, i miss it completely. by a few metres
our UU team was graced by the ...errr...grace of a new player this day. and this person goes by the name of katie. unfortunately previously plagued by injury to the ankle from netball, katie finally fronted up to her first ever indoor soccer game!
ladies and gents this chick is full on!
she gives EVERYTHING a go!
overheard in the UU stands : "oh i feel so weird! i just feel so unco!"
(disclaimer : that was katie who said that)
BUT did this stop her? did this discourage her into defeat? did this debilatate, destroy, deteriorate and delve her into the depths of despair over her apparent (and self-proclaimed) lack of co-ordination?
NO, my friends, katie was RIGHT in the fray kicking it (pun intended) with the bad boys!
and boy did she give those guys a run for their money!
katie fresh from a successful touch career brought her zippy speedliness (is that a word? i don't know. do you know? who cares.) and her ferocious aggression onto this much-too-small field of indoor soccer. she gave it her all. she blocked many a ball, and mostly stayed back in defence, steady, stable and reliable, much like her own personality (you're a great friend kt!).
and you know, after all said and done, kt gave it her all on her first game and that's all we can ask for! so GO katie! we look forward to her development in the indoor soccer arena, much like her touch career ("katie you're my winger!")
colin, as usual, was consistent in offence mostly, and sometimes venturing down into defence to help out. his lightning moves and fancy tricks and kicks in controlling the ball were dazzling, to say the least. my friends, this guy has some fancy moves, even more fancy than those "metro" female looking asian male pop stars (think F4. which one's the guy? which ones the girl? who knows.) that should be modelling velvet woman's clothes and manbags.
those moves might even be as fancy as that bright green number the queen was wearing to the event she attended as a spectator at the commonwealth games. wait. that wasn't fancy, that was just hideous and glaring.
indeed those moves and skilful manipulation of the ball carried our team to 3 extra goals scored by him! yes that's rite my friends, 3 goals! COLIN YOU ROCK!!!!
unfortunately, our HUMAN wall, andrew, was not able to be present (where were you andrew? we were expecting u -_-; )
BUT, he was replaced by another fantastic unbreakable wall, this one of the female variety : JEN!
i'll tell u wat ladies and gents, if i were to build a tall building and i needed a strong wall, i would definitely get myself a piece of jen! she is one strong, impenetrable wall!
my friends, gone were the previous traces of the damsel in distress from last game. this damsel was back! and she wanted BLOOD!
her legs of steel were stuck into every single opponent that dared venture into our defensive zone! i tell u wat, that was no-mans land : that was JEN'S land!
she just WOULD not let up, would not give up, would not kick the ball out and simply let it fall wherever it did. No she would not rest til the ball was safely into our keeper's hands.
speaking of the keeper...HEEEEERE'S PETER!
wow this guy has no match! he continues to astound many with his courage and bravery to CONTINUALLY place his body in the line of fire of a well executed kick to goal!
(SEE PETER NO GLOVES!)
(YOU ARE SUFFICIENT!)
my friends, this guy, even tho he stands at a much lower stature than his counterpart, he successfully saves many many potential goals!
there was many a kick that landed the ball, not at the back of our nets, but at the back of peter's stomach as he made yet another eye-watering save!
this guy jus doesn't let up! he doesn't get scared, tired or downcast! he just keeps going!
like an energiser bunny.
except he isn't a rabbit.
and he's hasn't got a battery shoved up his ________ <- (fill in blank with desired orifice.)
and he isn't a clever marketing idea that was marketed into our TVs many years ago, so much so that it is now a term used in daily Australian english conversation.
mandy, tho was sidelined due to her previous game's SHIN-JOBS, was nevertheless still in the game as much as a player, tho this time with her voice. Thanks to mandy for her constant and tireless encouragements and screams (ooohh! aaah! woaaah!) for keeping the players buoyed by her enthusiasm and passion. and letting us know she was still there.
overheard in the UU stands : "wow that blonde chick is so good, wow did u see that she's so good, wow she kicks so hard, i wanna be like her"
well if mandy continues to throw herself into the game as much as she already does, she will rise above that blonde chick and beat her, cos mandy is just FULL ON!
thanks again to all those supporters who made the effort to come out to watch and support us :
brian, julie, aileen, daz, ken
my friends, if you want to experience the joys and excitement, the highs and lows, the hair raising intensity, the mind-numbing frustrations, the electric atmosphere, the cup breaking frustrations, and the overspilling-glee of a goal scored, then get urself down to box hill this thursday for another match of the UU!
i promise you, you will not be disappointed!
unless you paid for parking.
in which case you should be disappointed.
and angry.
just park free in the next suburb and walk.
it's been done before.
