Pot Black Drunks 3 Suffolk Punch 5

There are two main reasons why we suffered our first defeat to Probably the worst side we've played this season. 1) Danny Mckinley, Alright, he didn't even play, but he blackmailed twenty five of the worlds finest footballers(both teams combined) to reluctantly go on a stag-due in NAARWICH to drink stupid "proof beers" in the Belgium Monk, with some not returning to Lowestoft till 30mins before the game started!!! (Let that be on your conscious Mr Mckinley) 2) The person who decided Sunday mornings would follow Saturday night! I mean what a pratish time to try and get men to play footy! It was like a "AA" forum in the dressing room, people trying hard to keep hold of their early morning "donna's" while falling over trying to put their socks on! ... BUT HONESTLY, WELL DONE TOO EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR BEING THERE! YOUR A CREDIT TO THE CLUB!! The easy way would have been to cry off and lay in your pit all day feeling sorry for yourself!

Right, what about the game? I've got to say that everyone did try in patches, some patches were longer than others, but we were crap! Liam couldn't choose the right goal out of the three he must have been seeing, but he wasn't alone, was he Rory, Kierron and nearly everyone else! I honestly lost count of how many goals we should have scored but on the other hand, we could have conceded ten as well!! The ref was absolutely poo and gave everything to any team who appealled, but as our team were too busy trying really hard to stand up we didn't get naff-all!

I honestly think that some team will pay for this embarrassment as we all know we are a GOOD Team, but it might not be this Sunday in the County cup, because Mr Mckinley is putting the mockers on it again next week, He's only getting bloody married this TIME!!

The Chairman's M.O.M. Award goes to the man who stood head & shoulders (and belly) above all on the field Ross (mars -bar) Jones

POT BLACK RIDING HIGH!

V's Queens Head 21st Sept

Pot Black v Queens Head
Normanston Park
21-09-08

After a good victory last week, PB was hoping to continue in a winning vain against Queens Head at Normanston Park. The weather was glorious, more accustomed to a leisurely game of cricket than football.

PB kicked off and got soon were pressing down on the Queens goal mouth and after only 2 mins took the lead through Liam Harvey, although the keeper mad a hash of what seemed a simple shot to save, still they all count. PB were playing with confidence and knocking the ball well with most good moves coming through Kieran Wardrope on the right wing. After only 10 mins, the players were already feeling the effects of the heat and asking for a drink of water. Not our Ross. What did he send Danny to get!!!!! A MARS BAR! Everyone knows about his non-stop eating habits but this takes the biscuit!. (bad –pun opportunity)
Still PB continued to press and the second goal came on 20 mins after good work by Rory French and converted by Liam. At this stage, Wally came over to ask what the score was (bullshit) as he was more concerned with putting his fishing gear together by his car than watching the match.
Queens pulled a goal back after a free-kick was headed through to leave an unmarked player to run through and score.

This woke PB up and continued to press and scored the goal of the game after a superb ball from Kieran enabled Coop’s to score PB third. PB hit a purple match playing some scintillating football and should have scored more goals before adding a fourth through Rory with a good header from a Coop’s corner. With half-time approaching the fifth goal came after good work from Max enabled Kieran to get the goal his first half display deserved,
At half-time PB were completely in control leading 5-1 and playing with confidence.

The second half continued in the same vein with PB going forward and nearly added to their lead through good efforts from Rory and Ross. After 50mins Jordon replaced his brother Kieran who had been superb throughout the game. The sixth came from Rory who scored with a good header into the top corner of the net.
Queens then to their credit got back into the game and never gave up, playing some good football and scoring 2 goals to make the score-line 6-3. Ross then had to be substituted as he was feeling the effects of a groan strain.( Or maybe because the park shop was shutting in 5mins!) Jason came on with 20mins to go and was soon in the thick of it clearing 2 shots off our goal-line as Queens continued to press. He unfortunately got himself booked as well for being over jealous in his desire to win the ball on several occasions.(That’s not like our –Jas!)

Towards the end of the game, PB killed the game with Rory scoring the seventh and a well-deserved hat trick after good individual display, especially after working all night in London, driving back and coming straight to football. That’s something for the other players to consider when calling off after a Saturday night on turps!.

So another victory under our belts, with me going on holiday and PB defending an unbroken record while I’m away, Max the pressure is on to maintain it next week at Normanston against Suffolk Punch, remember to wear the blue kit.

M.O.M. Kieran & Rory.

SUNDAY 14TH. SEPTEMBER

Lings Honda 2 , Pot Black 6
Dip Farm
14-09-08

This was PB first game of the season and after our AGM when decisions were made for not letting me know in time if you cannot make it (by 0915 on the Sunday), being late(after 10:00) and not paying your subs on the day. I sat indoors on Sunday morning quite relaxed. No phone-calls came so I got prepared to leave to ensure I was not the first one to be fined.
Yes, you have guessed where I am going, the phone rings, Adam Sivell, can I have a lift from Carlton as my wife wants the car. (Who's been a naughty boy then!)The obvious reply came it was too late and he would have to make his own way there (I see the first fine coming).

The game kicked off with Lings only able to field 10 men, still it is harder to play 10 men sometimes than 11. PB nearly scored after 2 minutes after good work between our 2 strikers Liam Harvey and Rory French resulting in a cross that Keiron Wardrope nearly converted. PB continued to push and should have taken the lead through Mark Lansdale from a corner but he decided to duck under the ball rather than header it into the goal.

Lings were playing some good football in midfield and causing PB defence some issues. The opening goal came on 20 mins after good work from Keiron, Liam converted the chance to give PB the lead. This did not last long and Lings equalised after a fumble from Richard (ROGER) Reeder in goal and after a scramble in the goalmouth, the ball ended in PB goal to make it 1-1. The late Adam Sivell then twisted his ankle (the other one from which he injured the day before ) and tried to carry on but had to be replaced by Tom Miles. Not a very good debut for Adam as he was only the field for 30mins and become the first PB player this year to be fined for being late and not paying his subs, one game to forget for him!
PB regained the lead shortly after this with Mr Dependable, Kev Sherwood taking the ball out of defence before hitting a 40yd defence splitting ball for Liam to outstrip the defence and go round the keeper to give the PB the lead. Still Lings came back and it took the save of the game by Richard to stop a 25yd screamer going into the top corner.
Half-time came with PB clinging onto the lead, Darren Laws had taken a hefty (not him) blow on his ankle (from one of our players) during the game and had to replaced by Robert Cooper.

The second half started more brightly with PB with running the game and not giving Lings the time to play the ball around. The third goal looked likely any time and after near misses from Tom Miles and Rory French, Liam completed his hat-trick after good work from Robert Cooper. Lings still didn’t give in and soon made it 3-2.

The game could have gone either way at this point but Liam soon added a fourth which appeared to kill the game for Lings. PB were in control now although when Lings did venture forward they still caused problems for PB defence.
Rory French got the goal his work deserved to add a fifth and Liam then converted the goal of the game and his fifth by turning sharply on the edge of the box and hitting the ball in the opposite corner. There was still time for PB keeper to make a good save to prevent the score being closer.
The game finished with a 6-2 win for PB and gave them a good start to their season.
In general a game that PB should have won more comfortably but with the blend of experience and youth in the team, the future looks bright.

MOM : 5 Goal Liam

Next Week: Kessingland Queens Head at Normanston KO There at 9.45am for 10.15 kick off!!!(don’t be late)
