Sorry about the delayed blogs!! Spizz is back!

Last week Spizz got a stunning long-range effort in the back of the net. The match ended two-two. The previous game he played well during a cantankerous game where Goughie walked off over the alleged gamemanship of Big Dave. This game finished eventually four-two to Big Dave's team.
I have been trying to persuade Joe H. to do the blog and go on about his two recent goals. However, he was too modest.
Last week's two-two could have been decided by Tone but he blazed over with the goal at his mercy on his weaker right foot. I don't know if it is my worsening memory but the games are becoming a blur and I can't remember the goals clearly, except Spizz's of course.
Our game has been joined by young Alex, who does these mazy dribbles and this invites some stiff tackling from opponents. This can politely lead to words. Alex is pretty skilful and this has helped make the match more entertaining.

Hopefully Spizz will be back tonight on the footie field.

Let's hope Spizz did not do himself an injury after wowing the crowds in two concerts last week and can make a welcome return to the astroturf tonight. Last week I played through the pain barrier a bit but I have shaken off the ache in my leg after resuming cod liver oil
tablets. I have also been having trouble with getting the suitable footwear so I might be wearing my gym trainers tonight.
Also I might have news of a foreign tour to take place in early February. It always fun playing abroad. Dodgy referee, hostile crowd etc. See if the team will go for it.
The possible flight seems ridiculously cheap but we will see how we go.

It was a very creditable two-two draw last Friday.

With Spizz rocking in Leuven during the weekend, it was a rare match without the punk star. The team selection by Goughie (I think it was him) was spot on and we had a very creditable two-two draw. With honours shared, Big Dave and Ross caught the eye on our team and Alex and Stevo did very well for the opposition.
Alex is quite a young lad compared to the dinosaurs of me and the Gashead, who was wittering about last week's match of Bristol Rovers against Wycombe, and does these mazy dribbles. He scored one of their goals while Stevo got a rare shot on target and it went in from quite a long way out. I was in goal for the Alex effort, which was expertly placed and beat my despairing efforts. Alright, I knew it was going in and I just picked the ball out of the net. I don't do diving saves, mainly using my feet. The Stevo effort was probably down to goalie error but it was not me this
time.
Ross got our two goals and shone in attack. Big Dave, Stevo's brother, marshalled things in defence and I played through the pain barrier in the right back position.
There were two new debutants Nick and Mark, who played quite well. It takes time to get used to the astro turf surface. Nick did some quite good dribbles while Mark got some strong running in, not quite box-to-box but nearly there.

Spizz played a blinder last night!!

Last night at the world-famous venue of the London 100 Club, punk star Spizz played a blinder. The band was really rocking (do punks rock?) but there were great versions of "Soldier, Soldier" and "Where's Captain Kirk". I went along to tell Spizz
to take it easy so as to play footie tonight but he can't make it because they have a gig tomorrow (Saturday) in Leuven. Spizz is especially looking forward to this concert since the Belgian university town is also the home of Stella Artois.

Back to last night's London gig, the crowd was an eclectic mix with youngsters and office workers. One wore his tie throughout. There was a bit of pogo dancing at the front and there was a good atmosphere. Spizz made sure the Friday night footie players were catered for in ticket terms, which was a nice gesture. Goughie did a bit of heckling with his calls for "Virginia Plain" and Spizz duly complied with a great cover version at the end of the set. Mick K. and Steve made up the numbers from
Friday night footie with quite a few players on holiday or washing their hair.

I am looking forward to Spizz's gig this Thursday!!

Last Saturday I went to one of my second cousins' weddings and all the details worked. Everything clicked into place. The church service was not too long, the canapes at the reception were morish while the meal, speeches and our table were a delight.
I hope the Spizz gig this Thursday at the 100 Club on London's famous Oxford Street should also click into place. Steve has been trying to rally a few of the footie guys around but a lot of the team seem to be on holiday.
Anyway, I am working out how my battered body will take more punishment with the Spizzenergi concert this Thurday followed by footie on the Friday. Although as per usual from Gashead, there is no official confirmation that I will be playing this Friday.
