SPARTANS FC DISASTER

MASS FLU FORCES "C" TEAM ON PITCH

Scott and Kevin sick on the Flu

Things were tense last Sunday, when the team's doctors disallowed most of the team from entering the pitch during a game with the Destroyers.

"It was awful in there," stated Baron," the guys were saying that England would win the world cup, and I just knew that they were under the weather."

With most of his main players out of action, Baron had to pull numerous reserves from the Spartans FC farm teams.

Although enough players were able to play, the competition was almost an embarrassment.

Fans jeered and booed the players, as they were thoroughly trashed.

"I can't remember the score," said one fan, "but I can tell you that this was the worst performance for a team of this calibre"

With the flu over this week's game promises to be better.

"I'm optimistic," Baron revealed, " we have a new plan, and the guys will redeem themselves!"

FANS INCENSED

LINESWOMAN PLAYS TWELFTH "MAN"

Fans are incensed at the calls!

The Spartan's first game started out slow, but quickly escalated into something that will show promise for the season.

With the score tied in the 62nd minute at no score, our heroes were finally rewarded with a blistering shot that the Village Inn goalkeeper couldn't handle.

"And I really only got a piece of the ball," commented an elated Devon, who received the pass from a speedy partner in crime Spencer.

From there, the game turned, and not in a good way.

The Ref, not watching the match to the fullest, allowed the Lineswoman to award a penalty kick after a clean tackle by Anders in the box.

Reviews on the play clearly indicate Anders won the ball, and that the opponent fell over the redirected ball.

From there, the opponents scored a goal on a miscue by the defense.

To add to injury, the Village Inn scored another "goal" when clearly offside.

"I can't believe such rubbish!" yelled one commentator who stormed off the booth.

"The ball went to an offside opposing shirt, and then he passed the ball forward to his mate who was so clearly off side that the game stopped, waiting for the whistle," revealed Baron.

That was all it took for the fans to launch a tirade of anger against the field.

The Spartans will be fined one game's receipts, and are lucky at that. The error filled Lineswoman was escorted off field after contact lenses were thrown at her.

"We missed a lot of chances," analysed Baron," but our actions clearly showed that we could run with this top five team from last year. We just couldn't compete with the 12th woman official."
