The filming is in three 14+ minute segments.The times of goals will be based on a cumulative of the clocks of each of the videos. So, a goal scored at 2 minutes into the second video will be recorded as during the 17th minute (14+2).

We thank Andy for the above and also for picking the sides.

We reverted to our preferred six a side.game this week and welcomed Guest Kennerly who came in as the twelfth man.

The previous week the Blue Bibs triumphed 7 - 5, in a five a side thriller. In picking the teams this week Andyhibbert kept the sides exactly the same as the previous week. He simply drafted star striker Ed in to join the Orange Bibs and replaced the unavailable Fabiocc17 with the attacking midfielder Shaun who brought along his cousin as a guest. It will not be lost on readers that Steve of the Orange Bibs had called out what he perceived as the egregious way his team had been denied possible penalties the previous week. As such, this evening was deemed the second leg wherein, buttressed by one of the club's most clinical strikers, the Orange Bibs would give their Blue compatriots what for.

Guest Kennerly, does not know BILZ96, Hagenius and Steve. Without the mystique of the folklore that precedes that mighty defensive triumvirate he just took them as ordinary people. Before there were even three minutes on the clock he had already marked his debut with a well taken brace.

The match was not without controversy, following a prodigious point blank save from Steve a clear and obvious handball by an Orange Bibs' player was discounted, with the explanation that the ball had gone out from the save. We play in a cage so the explanation was difficult to fathom. VIIGeorgeVII who knows a lot about the dark arts of football was asked not to comment any further when he sought to protest on behalf of the Blue Bibs. In the new disciplined stance that the club is now taking VIIGeorgeVII kept his own council and players relegated the incident to one of those decisions that will remain inexplicable.

Things were evened up later when a very marginal decision, which could have gone either way, was given in the Blue Bibs' favour and Shaun's goal stood. To the naked eye he demonstrated balletic poise to slot the ball home from the very edge of the area. There could have been calls to freeze frame and enlarge the footage to see if even a fraction of the stitching of his boot might have touched the white of the line but the referee was clear that the goal should stand and this cannot be overriden.

Part 2 09:52 on the clock - In his pursuit of showing that the players around him were mere mortals Guest Kennerly scored with a beautifully executed Rabona kick . We haven't seen one of those since Eddie01 nonchalantly scored a Rabona penalty back in March 2018.

Part 3 04:01 on the clock - Now that it was generally known that the opposition was flesh and blood Elvis simply set off on a mazy run from the edge of his own penalty area before scoring a truly accomplished solo goal to put the Blue Bibs 6 - 3 ahead.

When VIIGeorgeVII touched a spinning ball in the penalty the Orange Bibs were awarded a penalty and a ticket back into the match. Coach Hagenius, who you may remember had his last penalty saved on 11 January 2023, bravely stepped forward to take the kick. Despite efforts to unnerve him he coolly dispatched the penalty to take the score to Orange bibs 4 - 6 Blue Bibs.

Further goals were exchanged and the evening ended with the Blue Bibs staying ahead and Guest Kennerly scoring his fourth goal to secure the match ball..
