Today can only be dedicated to 5 people. They have all had dedication before but this time they can have a whole blog for them. The freedom of the blog. Chris Rousell. The worldy save in extra time while it was 1-1. Unbelievable. I was on the pitch. Dan Rousell for 3 goal saving tackles and leading us all the way to the final. Cheesy for the amazing balls to go round the keeper and calmly put it away. Hegars for putting his head in were it could get hurt and also I am sorry for not being very helpful as physio and get well soon. Finally to god. Last minute winner. I have never been so mad at a match. I injured my wrist more jumping on Micheal Connell and was tempted to go run to Roy (lino) and say how do you like that. Then when we were all in the technical area Roy: I no you are excited but please get back, this is the last time. Ken: EXCITED! EXCITED! I AM HAVING A FUCKING ORGASM!!!
Well school can take a back seat. Horley were spamming all over the Cobham forum about breaking legs. The fact is they were out played, out fought and deservedly beaten. I wasn't even depressed that I wasn't playing.
The game itself was more gripping then end to end stuff and it wasn't ever going to be beautiful football on the pitch. We had a 5 minute spell at the end of the first half of corner after corner after corner and each one either superbly saved or cleared off the line. Second half and only goal saving tackles by Dan kept us in it.
Now for Roy. Why can't these linesmen get on with the game instead of getting involved. I knew him already because he managed my team at u14s and 15s. He would only let one person stand in the technical area when surely you are allowed as many people in the technical area aren't you? He kept going on and on and always had to get involved in the game by telling players move back move forward and stuff. Then I walked on the pitch to give water when he went mad at me for being on the pitch. He said I should no better when excuse me. Why should I no better. I am 15 and I don't know what I am and am not allowed to do. Then he reported us all to the ref so when he said again only one stand up in the technical area I thought well I will sit down in it then. So I sat right on the line just to piss him off. They then scored one of the most farcical goals I have ever seen and I am not just saying that and he comes up with so much rubbish that made my blood boil. Absolute tosh which I can't even remember.
I had never been so involved in a game I wasn't playing in. When Cheesy scored at the begining of extra time I had never been so nervous. Praying for us to hold on. I don't think I sat down once in extra time. Thankfully the dugouts were quite big and I made myself a little corner of space. I am not going to go into there goal. Absolute disgraceful officiating. Then with the game going into penalties. Up steps Shane Rideout. Ran onto a through ball from George and finished. I have never seen Ken move so fast! He rushed out jumping up and down fist pumping. The rest of us just going mad. That was that the winnning goal and now we are through to the final.
Just to top off a good night Arsenal won on Pens which I got up to the bar to catch just in time and all english clubs are through in europe. Finally sausage and chips instead of sandwiches. I can get used to that. I took some for the ride a made the long journey home.
Thats that.
