The Orlando Pirates are PROUDLY South African and we were SEA lagged. As for the coach zooming his footie knowledge from HK.....have you seen how poorly we are doing?!?!?! GG Luxers, all the best to you the rest of the season. Downward! Obviously Kevin's was practicing pixel golf when he should have been in his geography class. As for "footie" knowledge I am soooooo impressed you used the word "footie". We'll make a Brit out of you yet Mr Vandelay Almost use the Auld Onion Bag but feared sounding too authentic.

They just want you to believe otherwise, don't believe in fake news!

Pixel Golf Football Season Two - Championship division, week 2: Hyvinkään Palloseura (1W, 0D, 0L) @ Tranmere Rovers (0W, 0D, 1L), second half (LONG READ, WATCH OUT)
And we're back from our quick break! Chaos at the locker room since Coach Imot has snapped, he went a little overboard in his motivational quest to get the team rolling! He also seems to be displeased about the fact the team is playing better in their heads than on the field this game and he wants them to focus on the task at hand. (practice -37, actual... spoiler alert: -28)
Onto the second half we go, and boy oh boy is it quite a spectacle! Chip shots, blunder passes, guys falling asleep for just long enough to cause problems, shots that threaten the goal, everything you can ask for! Advanced stats show that there were apparently 11 shots taken this quarter, but how many of them were truly threatening? We don't really know! And the most important question: will any of them have found the back of the net? Stay tuned for later, since we're now going to a quick commercial break! *insert a catchy jingle here* (Round 3: -8)Aaand we're back from the break and in shocking news, the wind has picked up here! It looks to be causing tons of issues since it looks so bad that the pitch is about to fly off! The ball is flying in the strangest trajectories, and most shots the team takes, it looks more like a chip or a hook than anything else! (seriously though, the start of the round was just mad with chips, think I got 3 straight birdies with those!) The boys have pushed the entire way through, and they have finished well. VAR still has to check for goals for probably 5 decades since that's how it always goes, we'll remain with all the anxiousness to see if any shots have sneakily crossed the goal line as the final whistle blows and we wait for the final score to come in through some age old apparatus since that's the only thing we can afford here in the studio... (Round 4: -7)EXTRA REPORT (because I feel like it): Coach Imot has for some reason had enough of seeing the team this week and he is reported to be going on a quick getaway in preparation for the next game. Meanwhile, people from across the street from the stadium have reported that he has threatened to send the team to Siberia for a 3 day training camp. He might still be angry due to the fact that this team made him look like a laughing stock during his opening season as a coach in 2019, posting a season stat line in the fourth division of Finnish football hierarchy that would get any team laughed out of the entire system. I wish I was actually joking there. Check it out for yourselves. This took a hell of a lot of detective work to come across, and thankfully the Finnish FA cares about more than just the top dogs of the country, even if everything else is buried quite deep. The only highlight of this 2019 season was a matchday 2 draw, and the low points were getting beaten 23-0, and losing 15-0 to a team literally called FC 69, the number being written out. Not even joking. The comparison in the picture below is the team that finished second to last that season. The usual: games played, wins, draws, losses, goals for - against, points. Read it and weep. At least last season they finished 6th in the fifth division. Thought I'd share this for the hell of it to give more context as to why I make this team seem so farcical.

City are becoming away day draw specialists, that's now 3 on the trot! Albeit the first not against a mofo with hoops.
City began the final phase of the game a bit rocked by missing so many chances and paying the price for it, but their opponents also seemed to be struggling. The manager knows if we can just get on the front foot and then defend well we can get something out of this game. Didn't quite work out that way. An early defensive blunder made it more difficult than it needed to be, and going forward City played well but just not quite clinical enough. 5 minutes to go and still all to play for, but on came Callum O'Dowda and his glass bones and his influence helped City finish strongly and grab that late equaliser. Just before he went off injured again.
4th round 67 (-6). 4 birds in the last 5 holes will do it!
Looks like next week's long awaited home match will be played at a brand new stadium!

Dragons came out weak as kittens in the start of the second half, they were hungover, dehydrated, and potentially food poisoned by Suzie the South African waitress who was providing lunch. Improved as the afternoon wore on but would it be enough to salvage a draw....
R3 73 (E) R4 67 (-6)

Much better showing from Northampton Town this week but still not at there best, 1st half was awful and a few chosen words were said at half time, Team came out flying 2nd half and scored some lovely individual goals,
An albatross was also seen 3nd half flying over the stadium,
All in all +2 -2 -6 -7
Total -13

Herne Bay came out after half time having drunk a few pints from the Sh!t & Scream brewery and it showed with players disappearing from the field to visit the bogs allowing the Dragons a easy goal in the first 22 minutes. The Bay may not be able to recover from this as the bog roll is now running low. Rd 3 +6

Looks like I'll be finishing in the double mark range, which will be enough to bump me up to CC-C. No change in the adjuster, but just for accuracy's sake.

And I just need the one green tick and sat comfortably so it will be a loss of a stroke on the adjuster for me as I venture up to CC-F.

Last 22 minutes With the bog roll having run out the Herne Bay players had other things on their mind and didn't want to run after the ball just in case something happened +2 Who ever we're against next week better stock up on toilet rolls, we might need them.

Couldn’t get a result for the gaffer on his birthday, but the boys at least had chances in the second half (-8, -9). We’ll get it sorted and hope to keep punching above our weight next round.
