2nd Round +2
It's just not been happening for Celtic in the first half as it was a case of one step forward then two back. They managed a couple of shots on goal before the half hour mark but their defensive frailties were exposed again just a couple of minutes later. Some good play from McGregor was nearly rewarded as Edouard wriggled free but hit his shot straight at the Bristol City keeper. The defensive pairing of Ajer and Julien struggled with some good play by the Robins and will be punished at some point unless they tighten up at the back.

Given that my relationship with this game is pretty much #stayingtogetherforthekids, I just needed to put this week to bed, just like almost every other week since the start of December. The current count for demotion marks without a relegation is now up to twenty and only three cuts made in that time. #punchingaboveyourweight statelyowl , you have been given as easy an opener as could be hoped for. East Fife (are sh!te) lived up to their soubriquet for round three. I think it was fifteen pars, two birdies and a bogey - at least something of that order and another 71 (-1). The final effort was was going, for me, reasonably well, five under and a couple to play. For the second time this tournament my very rare slow decided to show up and plonk my tee shot in the water. The retry of course sailed long and left - double bogey. 69 (-3). |

 Welcome Sports Fans rob4590We have an exciting opening encounter here at Anfield. Last seasons Runner's up hosting a very, very talented West Ham. It appears that there is a sort of South American flair to the visitors play at the start of this game. While the East Londoners went to Brazil for their time off, and learnt some of their play, The Reds travelled to Tahiti, and learnt theirs. It seems that there is not much difference between Samba Football and Tahitian Football. Both teams played fluently. End to end stuff. However, it was the home side, surprisingly, who went in to an unexpected lead. A brilliant play down the right hand side from Milner finished with a superb cross which found the head of Sadio Mane, who placed it just outside of the keepers reach. 1-0 (-12) |

Having rounded up the players from last season and having to sit the new player on the bench for now, Herne Bay finished the first 22 minutes with a slim chance of a goal with even for rd 1.
There could be crowd trouble ahead until half time as I've heard the tempo could be rearing it's ugly head in rd two. Maybe should of hired Eric Cantona for this match.

Erik ten Hag fired!!! That could very well be the headline in the papers tomorrow after his terrible mistake at half-time. He substituted Haller with Brobbey... but Brobbey has just signed for RB Leipzig and is trying to learn German and now refuses to speak anything but German with his teammates. This obviously resulted in miscommunication and silly scenes for the first 10 minutes of the second half. Ten Hag was told by Tadic: “Take him off you idiot!” He did and Ajax played better again but Ten Hag’s moment of insanity may have well let the Luxembourgians (?), Luxembourgers (??), Luxembourgese (  ) in with a chance...  |

Welcome back Sports Fans
Things were pretty even late in the first half, both teams playing pretty football. In the 33rd minute, a call of hand ball was call against the West Ham defence. Salah takes the penalty, and sends the ball into the 23rd row of the grandstand. Could be costly, that one.
Half time, Liverpool lead the Hammers 1-0 (-9)

The Cider Army have had a week long stay in Glasgow with two games in a row at Celtic Park. After the fireworks of their 2-2 draw and penalty shoot out loss last week they were expecting more of the same. Sadly it wasn't to be in the first half, both teams struggling with the surface in an extremely scrappy affair. City took an early lead when the Celtic keeper hit a clearance straight at Antoine Semenyo, who produced a trademark finish as the ball ballooned back off his arse and in to the net. After that the two keepers were never troubled. 67 and 73, 1-0 at half time.
Frustrating! Kept getting very fasts! Kept pulling myself above the cut line and then throwing them all away again.

The second half for the Blaugrana started much like the first half ended. Continuing their run of lackluster play with plenty of opportunities and no result to show for it. The manager, angered by this lack of energy (we were so much better in practice!), did the unthinkable in the 60th minute and subbed Messi out of the game! A chorus of boos rang down from the cardboard cutout fans as Messi walked off the pitch. The team fought valiantly even managing a fantastic goal in the 65th minute from Pedri but without their captain on the pitch, it would prove to be unsustainable. Frustrations boiled over and the team unraveled in the final 20 minutes as they saw two players sent off after an unannounced cooling break led to them throwing water at the referee! Barca limped their way to what will surely be a decisive defeat. The result will be well deserved and questions will surround the club and whether they belong in Pixel Golf Football’s top flight as they move on to the next fixture. Round 3: -2 Round 4: +4  |

City came out for the start of the second half passing the ball around nicely but up front were struggling to hit the target. And then for a spell it changed and they played some scintillating football, a match for anybody playing like that. But alas, a poor back pass from Kalas in the 65th minute has given the chance for Celtic to get back in to it. Third round 65.
Story of the round, +1 thru 4, then 7 birdies and an eagle over the next 10 holes, then a par at the reachable par 5 15th followed by a double at 16 after finding the water. Quite pleased I found a bit of last week's tempo again though, starting to think it was all a dream!
