btw I scored 6 in last week's fives, the novelty is wearing off. guess i'll only mention the screamers from here on out, or the ones that took place on a beach

I scored four a couple of weeks ago, including the one that got us to 11-9 up after having been 6-0 down very early on. Sadly I also conceded their equaliser at the death.
Scored one tonight, but then completely missed the ball in exactly the same spot later on, under no pressure.

i played the first game with my new work crowd today and rose like a former ulster boys u13 high jump champion at the far post to head home the winner from a corner
it was the winner because the guy marking me hit the back of my head and fucked up his eye worse than the "cut me" scene in rocky and had to be carted off to emergency

im gone a yard slow and very one footed, but every few weeks that foot is romarios. had the pleasure of a beaten opponent shouting "i cant stop the fat cunt" into the turf at a late stage tonight as another one went across the keeper and in off the far post.

this isn't quite scoring a goal but note how confidently the shot at 2:04 is plucked from the air. camera alas cuts away before recording the ball returned inch-perfectly to the keeper

have been playing in boots purchased dec 2018 all year (obv)
bit too long, which i hate, takes that vital immediacy of contact out of my toe-striking style (will defend this much-maligned technique to the death btw) and if im honest ive not enjoyed many of my games all year as a result, also ive been shit
researched a wider/shorter style and picked up a new pair of boots today en route to a local xmas derby match thats a bit of a tradition down the island, and from the moment i put them on i knew i was back.
scored a few crackers, top corner arced swervers, outside of boot faders, touch and all way better.
― Banáná hÉireann (darraghmac), Sunday, 29 December 2019 00:05 (four years ago) link
lads
theyre the same boot
same size, same model, i measured the fuckin things toe to tip.
truly the game is played in our heads

so yesterday
we're 5-2 up, but one of our better players has done his back so we're 9 v 10. I'm having an unusually indifferent game in goal. itching for a go outfield but having to be restrained. pull off my best save in years and then don't come for the ensuing corner which gets bundled in from a yard. get chipped twice. I'm restless. suddenly its 5-5, a man down, and I've had enough. off come the gloves with a panto flourish. our captain and left-back is practically press-ganged into goal and I announce I will play down the left side which is poor code for up front. our midfielder who tbuf has done little all game whines that we're giving up the game (I was keeping like a fool, couldn't he see?) but he probably has a point
anyway, so my first two shots are duff but my third one, after a flowing team move down the right which I started, sails into the roof of the net, past the guy who's chipped me twice and whose turn it was to be in goal. and your hero is not done there - two minutes later I pull off a backheel assist for our striker to lash home the 7th and his 6th. oh yeah, he'd scored all 5 when I came outfield. didn't have a strike partner until then. I make some sort of aggressively wry rejoinder to the given up the game guy but I hardly have to really, the point has been made. it finishes 8-5
― opden gnash (imago), Monday, 20 January 2020 09:55 (four years ago) link
well that's that. you did hand in your notice and hung up yr boots straight after, right?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 20 January 2020 10:02 (four years ago) link
not hanging up anything. a glorious goalscoring career against a bunch of ageing music nerds awaits
fwiw I would now dispute the oft-repeated claim that 4-2 is the most embarrassing winning score
