LXG storm into 2007!
LXG have already notched up successive wins to start 2007.
LXG President and King of Scotland reports on the latest victory:
LXG vs Union Sesame 14h00
Saturday 3rd February, 2007
And so ABBSA’s Division 5C leaders trooped onto the pitch ready and anticipating a game against one of the league’s more “verbally aggressive” teams Union Sesame.
With the coach’s pre-match speech stressing the need for a calm and disciplined approach, would LXG’s nerves be tested to their limit?
The first minute set the tone – one of Union Sesame’s centre forwards ran through, theatrically fell over nothing, whilst emitting a noise suggesting he had been shot. Fortunately the referee noticed that he was a cheating bastard and waved play on.
In a first half characterized by plenty of tough tackling, quick play, Hendrik’s first overhead kick since 1986 which hit the post, and several verbal exchanges it is perhaps strange, therefore, that the memorable moment of the 1st 35 minutes occurred with one of the opposition spectators. With Eoin and his opposite number involved in a strong challenge near the touchline, the opposing supporters felt that they had every right to run onto the pitch and swear and abuse everyone. One of the group, who we will refer to as the Wild Man, decided to shout that little bit louder. He also decided to tell us all that he would kill us, individually.
The referee immediately told him to the leave the side of the pitch. Not content with only being insane WM became even wilder and proceeded, along with the crooked arm salute, to shout “Je te baise”, “Je te baise”. He made every effort, while he was threatening us with “la baise”, to look deep into the target’s eyes. Maybe this is how he gets girls in his local nightclub, but no-one felt compelled to join him into the shower. The guy was clearly an insane nutcase of the highest order. He went, appropriately, behind a chain link fence, still shouting, to watch the rest of the game. Funnily enough, the only part that had annoyed Eoin was when he referred to us all as “Les Anglais” which was almost the last straw for our Irish terrier!
So half time and 0-0. Jimmy was replaced by Jean-Luc, Jani by Per. Martin was to come on for Eoin during the second half.
Unfortunately LXG let in a goal due to their diminutive forward taking advantage of a mistake to nip through and score. We roared back to equalize following great work by Peter combining with Hendrik for the latter to score with a wonderful headed goal. The impetus was with LXG and we continued to press hoping to go ahead. Malheuresement, your President failed to cover his defensive colleague and the small attacker pounced to make the score 2-1 to Union Sesame.
Credit to our players though – we kept pushing them right back and finally some luck came our way as a speculative shot from Hendrik squeezed past the keeper’s hands. 2-2!! Our wing play was of the highest standard forcing the opposition to cope with significant pressure. Even our friendly Wild Man was quiet.
The tension mounted and with less than five minutes left the ball squeezed through to our Scouse coach supreme. Amidst desperate cries of offside, he calmly slotted the ball home and rather less calmly screamed his delight amidst a fervent LXG pile-on celebration. How he found the energy to do this no-one knows as in the minute before the goal he had said how deathly tired he was -
- only to forget his fatigue and run Tardelli-like around the pitch.
Two minutes later Peter went on another forceful run only to be fouled in the penalty area. Paolo stepped up to make the result safe.
Final score – 4-2 to the Mighty LXG!!! Still top of the league!
With five supporters watching, the total group of 19 had a celebratory beer in Spoorloos where the announcement of future LXG stars and a “team + ladies night” was planned. Watch this space!
