Chaos in Cassino erupts in the 67th minute as a rough tackle by the EPL guests right at the edge of the area yields a difficult decision by the referee. It's certainly a yellow, but is it inside the 18 and a chance from the spot, or just a very dangerous free kick? VAR is being consulted, and we await final decision!
(Internet cut out literally as my par putt on 18 is falling into the cup. When I reload, the ball is sitting on the lip waiting for a bogey putt. Submitted a ticket, so we'll see how it goes I guess? In the meantime...)
((R3:65 or 66))

Round 4 -2 Peppered the east fife goal and missed an open goal,frustration at its max on another it could have bn 10 I wouldn't worry too much Jason. For some reason my game simply collapsed. Can't hit the ball straight, nothing but fasts and putting is a lottery for me again. First time in ages I really couldn't care about how I played. Doesn't look good facing West Ham next week. Round 3 - 72 Round 4 -74 |

Round 3 - 72 Round 4 -74 Can't be easy playing through injury (illness). Tried solo after our round yesterday and I was still struggling with fasts on that. Maybe the HB hamsters have fallen off the wheel? And take the pin out....I'm going to take your advice and try to play normal instead of pitch where possible. As for the West Ham game my only advice is to take them out on the night before the game and get them pissed on cheap Scotch. |

Second half from Soweto. After the meltdown that was the latter stages of the first half, the manager came into the locker room and upended the table with Simba Chips and Fanta. Fire and brimstone was spewing from his nostrils, engorged with a rage that the players have rarely seen. This tirade did little to inspire our Bucklers of Swash. A few flashes of brilliance (iggle full shot in round 3 and an iggle putt dropping in round 4) balanced out by some rather knuckleheaded moves. Round 3 was -5 Round 4 was -5 Was this enough for the home squad to hold of the beer makers from the north? Me thinks this will be one of the late games....GL LEFTY79Onward! |

Week Two Half-time Round-up
As Ben alluded to, I have not been at my best this week so this my be shorter and pithier than usual.
Early Kick-offs
Aston Villa 1 F91 Dudelange 3
From Villa Park, Trinity Road, Birmingham, B6 6HE. The Luxembourgers had a point to prove after last week's home defeat by Cassino Calcio. They did it with a vengeance, and it is credit to the Brummies that they managed a goal against the rampant Diddymen. The win cannot take the men from Dudelange top of their group but they will be well placed.
Liverpool 3 Coventry City 0
Anfield witnessed a vintage performance. They might struggle against lowly opposition in the Premier League there at the moment but swiftly put the Sky Blues to the sword. Only an early second half revival from Coventry prevented a maximum win but again Liverpool look well-placed.
Manchester United 4 East Fife 0
The Fifers were out of sorts this week, living up to their name around the lower leagues of Scotland, (East Fife are Shy*e). United now look in the driving seat to qualify for the next level whilst Fife must lube up and hope that West Ham offer dinner and a movie before the inevitable.
In progress
Bristol City 0 West Ham United 3 (65 mins)
The Robins continue to struggle against the consistently dominant Hammers. In an unassailable 3-0 lead going into the last knockings of the match apparently a man with a Scottish accent rang Ashton Gate asking for some of the Bristol team to take one for the lads and crock a few West ham players.
Cassino Calcio 1 Tottenham Hotspur 1 (HT)
Surprise package Cassino jumped out to an early lead only to be pegged back before the interval. This could really go either way in on of the most evenly balanced matches this week. A win for either would see them top the group but a draw would only help the hosts in that respect.
Herne Bay 0 Celtic 2 (HT)
The question is often asked of foreign imports, can they do it on a rainy Tuesday away at Stoke? Lennon's Foreign Legion are answering in the affirmative after being caught up min the 20 mile traffic jam trying to get to Dover. A bright start by the home team but they were quickly overrun by the hoops from north of the border. They need half-time inspiration otherwise it will be a long afternoon.
Orlando Pirates 1 Burton Albion 1 (HT)
In Soweto, it is honours even at the break. Having used up a season and a half's travel budget to get there the Brewers were caught by an early onslaught from the robust Africans. Their class, however, showed as they got a foothold in the game and levelled matters just before the break. Possibly the momentum has swung in the visitor's favour but this game is on a knife edge.
Tranmere Rovers 1 Ajax 1 (HT)
Ajax showed their best and worst in the first half, jumping out to an early lead before being caught with a sucker punch to go in level at the break. Surely the Dutch team's class will prevail but as a wise man once said, it's a funny old game.

4th round -1
Celtic knew they had to improve their game from the standards being shown already in the 2nd half. There were some nerves but flashes of their usual style of attacking football being shown by sub Turnbull. At the other end Ajer had to be alert to the threat from the Bay Boys and made a couple of timely interceptions. Celtic could've extended their lead after Edouard was through 1 on 1 with the goalie only to fluff his lines and knock the ball just wide of goal. In the final few minutes McGregor has been his usual busy self with great link up play and if Celtic are to get another he seems to be the most likely source.

Rd2 +7
Herne Bay were defending as best as they could against the Celtic forwards which was pretty much all the players apart from the goalkeeper had started to do a crossword puzzle as he was getting bored.
Celtic were gifted the goal in the 24th minute (double bogey 1st hole & bogey 2and hole) From the rest of the first half was Celtic who able to do whatever they with the ball apart from putting it in the back of the net.

The second half started the same as the end of the first half with Celtic pushing forward, having a couple of chances of a goal, but being denied the Bay keeper George Kamurasi. Then in 56th minute Kamurasi threw the ball to the feet of defender Laurence Harvey who passed the ball to midfielder Kryon Lightfoot who ran up the right side. Seeing Zak Ansah running up the left side unmarked, Lightfoot crossed the ball over for Ansah let rip to the left side of the goal only for the Celtic keeper to push the ball just outside the goal for a corner. The corner was cleared only for the ball to land just in front of Danny Lawrence who was able to find Anthony Edgar, whose shot went straight into the hands of the Celtic keeper.
Celtic were getting rattled and in 61st minute it happened, Kieron Campbell crossed the ball to Ansah who volleyed the ball into the left side of the goal. The Celtic keeper managed to get his finger tips to the ball on it's way to the back of the net.
The Celtic fans groaned this is nearly as bad as Rangers scoring against us, while Ansah was mobbed by the Bay players.
After the kickoff, Herne Bay kept coming forward.
Rd 3 -1
Score at 68 minutes Herne Bay 1 Celtic 2
Can the Bay do the unthinkable and pull off a draw. In 22 minutes or so we find out (tomorrow night)

The mantra coming out of the Azzurri locker room at the half was to finish, and finish they did with a pair of brilliant overlapping runs to test the Tottenham defense, one in the 78th minute, and one just as the clock ticked into extra time. Whether it will be enough to close the door on the visiting side remains to be seen, but the Italian squad can say they put their best effort onto the pitch.

***BREAKING NEWS*** Ajax' keeper Onana has been suspended by UEFA for 12 months for failing out of competition drugs test because he accidently took his wife's medicine instead of a simple headache pil... (not kidding) Ajax' efforts to restore the administrative blunder that causes them to not be able to field Haller in the remainder of this season's European games have failed and he's also out... (not kidding) I'm in trouble...  |

Having heeded Greg's request City spent the final 20 minutes trying to kick lumps out of the West Ham team. We owe Moyes one, he missed the sudden death penalty at Wembley that lost us the Freight Rover Trophy final in 1987. FFS, why Moyes?! We used to shut our eyes and hope for the best every time he passed the ball square, let alone take a game deciding penalty! Still, he did score against the Gas once, I suppose there's that.
Lots of huffing and puffing and West Ham players flying through the air. It's a fun mental image. Maybe should have concentrated more on playing some football. Final round 69.
