Devil's Advocate

Well, what a difference a week makes! Deja vu???? After a poorish performance but a win last week, the lads turned out and meant business this week.
Not knowing what to expect with mixed reports about these the game started slowly and Nabwood took the lead thanks to a lucky rebound. This set back seemed to galvanise the Clarets and we started dominating possession and territory.
The first goal came from Paul with a trademark rightfoot screamer and the boys started getting on top. Some great football was played by both sides, and Dave could have had a hat-trick were it not for the post and an outstanding keeper for Nabwood. Si weighed in with a goal as well although he still asked the ref if it crossed the line at the end, nowt wrong with blind faith, Si, I've had it for years! It definitely hit the netting before bouncing back out.
A 4-1 win, an absolute cracker of a game to watch and only other thing of note was a serious eye injury to The Gent (Steve) in goal. A fumble on the edge of his area led to Paul playing a 100 mile an hour back pass straight into his face. Steve admirably tried to carry on but gave in to pain eventually. JJ took the gloves and gave a man of the match performance for me in goals, making a fair few saves to keep us in the game. Some great off the cuff decisions on the subs at the end led to Paul getting the last and unleashing an almighty scream and a celebration to the loyal C&B Massive. We think he meant that one!
No incidents this week from the C&B Massive's "Daddy", the ref was pretty good and the beer tasted nice! tup:
PS Steve, Paul says sorry! ;)
