No guts, no glory! |
First Time Ever With no Wins
"Well, that didn't go exactly as planned," said Captain Ian, choking back the emotions of the season that never was," when I prophesized a perfect season, I meant losing NO games. I guess the guys got confused."
The Spartan FC dressing room was a scene of misery and dejection yesterday, after our heroes lost 5-0.
"I went to get a bucket of chicken at half time," said Pat," and now we're down and out?"
Things were going well for the Spartans, until Bowmanville FC scored just before half time.
Just a minute later, Captain Ian was brought down in the 18 and received a penalty kick.
"We never get calls like that," a confused Anders told reporters," initially we thought it was an indirect free kick."
But, on a day that will live in infamy, the Spartan Captain showed exactly why he's not on the revered list of scorers.
"All I could think about was stopping Dave Beckham from being on our website. Next thing I knew, the ball was rolling. I think though, in all honesty, Fernando should have got it in after my pass." revealed the ingenious Spartan leader.
"Yeah, I really screwed up that wide open net," admitted a dejected Fernando. "What was I thinking?"
There were some great moments in the game.
Tyler and Fil both created some good chances, just missing the net. A pass from Captain Ian just missed the Baron's foot.
"I'm still prepared," laughed Pat, who promised to streak naked if the Baron scored.
But the second half provided some low points as well.
Some great chances created by Fernando and Anders were missed. And teenaged heart throb The Baron made a breakaway throwaway after tapping the ball out of play.
"I was so angry," the frustrated Forward barked." I really wanted to see if Pat was really as big as the Spartan washroom stalls say he is."
With the season now over, Captain Ian has some difficult times ahead for the playoffs.
"Our team is way better than when they first started," commented Ian," but our lack of subs is really getting us exhausted and that creates mistakes. Mistakes creates goals. And goals, they create losses, especially for us."

The best part of the night was the Oranges at half time.
I'm not sure how someone can miss a penalty shot...but the Spartans always manage to lose somehow.
