Just For Kicks will be your Captain for this Game….
I’ve done 3 this morning, 1 yesterday… and will do the last one of the day too.
Time for me to just sit and blog… and relax a bit!
Somehow, I don’t expect too much company on this thread after the last few, but I’ll keep myself amused with some jokes I haven’t told myself yet – always up for a laugh!
@ grootPIENKsmile:
Come on Kickers. Let’s show these Pink Pansies how real men do things!
@ Just For Kicks:
Sorry, have to abandon you for a little while. have to go to the supermarket quickly.
By the way, I had no idea who to go for in this match, so copped out and went for a draw, so “Come on Nobody”!
Can the Reds bounce back after their thrashing at the hands of the Bulls last week? Time will tell, but now is the time for the Farce, if they are ever going to do it
Players coming out,
@ The_Young_Turk:It is certainly a ‘nobody’ kind of match!
Farce kick off
Farce on the early attack with advantage….penalty awarded in front for the Farce
Penalty over, 3-0 Farce
Penalty Farce, playing on the ground
Ball kicked out deep in Reds half
Farce set up a good driving maul
Farce hard on attack here
Try time, Stannard for the force
Conversion missed 8-0 Force
Reds with their first bit of attacking play, but lose the ball forward, scrum Farce
Reds playing with a greased pig at the moment, all forward momentum being lost through silly knocks
Farce playing advantage in front of Reds posts
…and penalty given, should be an easy kick
Over 11-0 Farce
OK, back and fresh as a daisy… a pink daisy!
Harvey gets another go at the sticks, this time a bit further out……over, 14-0 Force
Damn, the Farce have shot up to 14 / ZIPPP over the Rubble Reds in 19 minutes!
Reds playing backwards at the moment, looks like they’ve started off where they left off last week
22 @ Just For Kicks:
Hell, how far have the Reds fallen since last year, hey!
Reds really struggling to maintain possession here, only have had about 20% of possession so far, and just given it back when they have got hold of the ball
Seymour with a great touch finder, He’s on for Stannard, who turned an ankle
25@ grootPIENKsmile:Yup, but injuries haven’t helped, I suppose, and they never had great depth, so perhaps it has come back to bite them now
Farce on attack again
Reds need to regroup now, and slowly build momentum. Cut out the mistakes
