Lowestoft & District Division 1- 10/04/10Waveney Res F.C- 1
Pot Black F.C- 2
Match Overview- Pot Black who currently find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the table, faced their annual rivals for the first time this season and as expected it was a 'flag Up Zone' against the 'TITLE CHASING HOME SIDE'!!!!
The home side who boast arguably the best strike force in the division where kept contained from the outset with the side in Gold seeing their ONE SHOT OF THE HALF fly over the bar before the interval.
Pot Black in their change strip of royal blue looked extremely comfortable in possession and even more so when they had not, with the excellent Gary Boyd & Steve Collins stopping for a quick pipe, brandy and game of bridge mid half!
After a couple of niggling challenges on the dangerous looking Simon Durrant, the referee produced a red card after a clumsy flailing arm was unbelievably judge to of been with malice, which from anyone who has played with with him will know is ridiculous as Targa made his way to the changing rooms with only 20 minutes on the clock, and the player who had been dry humping his leg prior to the incident, received a yellow card after picking up his invisible teeth off the pitch as he rolled 5 times.
Feeling cheated (a feeling they would become accustomed to for the next 70 minutes) by the removal of a great asset, and as result a fire was stoked in the belly's of L'Bleu, no more so than in that of inform striker Gav Hunt who created something out of nothing as firstly he chased down two defenders tackling and robbing the second and lifting it over the isolated keeper, 1-0 DESPITE THE ONE MAN DISADVANTAGE!
The one way traffic continued as this time Scott 'Jimmy' Harvey burst into the box closing down the nervous keeper who dropped the ball as Jimmy put his body between ball and player he was wrestled into a half-nelson which went unpunished but the resulting Suplex drew the whilst and a red card for the usually fantastic Nollath wearing the No.1 shirt.
With minutes of the half remaining and the sides both down to 10, Captain Darren Boyd faced former Ashlea Keeper Scott Jermey, as has placed the ball home with easy for a well deserved increased lead.
The half time message was 'keep it tight, frustrate, and in order to stay on side, stand behind no less than 6 of their players!'
Too be fair to the Waveney players, the lads in gold began to enjoy a little more of the ball as they committed men forward, but the threat of the counter was always evident as Collins, Boyd, Laws and G.Boyd looked strong at the back.
Ross Jones replaced Paul Taylor in the centre of the pitch and Manager Danny McKinley went on for Adam Bird on the right with 15 minutes to play moments after Gav Hunt produced an audacious chip which hit the bar.
As their lack of opportunities became infuriating for the home side their petulance and whines increased.
With time running out Danny McKinley should have gave his side a third he was unable to gather a beautiful Darren Boyd Free kick as the Waveney keeper mopped up and sent his goal kick the length of the pitch which was not dealt with as the impressive Hunter pulled away before slotting home.
With only injury time remaining Danny McKinley's message to waste time was observed but not only by the Pot Black players as the opposition lines man threw away his morals and dignity as a human being, as he said loud enough to hear "Oh F*** It" before raising his flag as Scott Harvey looked to break into the space behind the 3 DEFENDERS IN FRONT OF HIM!!!! In the resulting melay the linesman unlawfully entered the field of play to confront the player who had questioned the decision gracefully was greeted with.... "Come on then! Come on then! I'm going to get you sent off for swearing at me!" before loosing his mind and headbutting the pot black man who was savagely felled to the ground.
The referee saw neither incident which is to be expected from a distance, but upheld the wrongful free kick for the cowardly offside, but the dispute had gratefully eaten all the time and the whistle went before the ball touched the ground from the dead ball position. In your face.
They had everything to lose after a brilliant season on the pitch, but were undone by a side fed on raw meat!!!!! GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
