Psl res 4 v 4 Doddington Res:
Well the day didnt get off to a good start, our keeper Ritchie had to get a train to glasgow at 8.00am saturday after recieving a phone call saying his dad had been rushed into hospital, spoke with ritchie sunday night his dad had a stroke but is slowly recovering, best wishes to your dad ritch!
This unfortunate incident left me without a keeper, so i had to change the team around and put myself on the bench. Within 5 mins of the game kicking off our centre back get injured and my make shift keeper ben had to go centre back meaning that yours truly had to go in goal.
However the lads got off to a perfect start with milne supplying a cracking cross for lungay to dive between 2 defenders and power home a header from 6 yards out, 1-0 psl. Psl continued to push looking to extend there lead as doodington were all over the shot. 10 mins after psl took the lead, they scored again after a goal kick from ME was flicked on by our midfield to send sandford clear through one on one with the keeper, as the keeper came out sandford lobbed him from just inside the penalty area to put psl 2-0 up and in complete control.
As the 1st half draws to an end doddington find themselves on a rare attack which earns them a corner, they take a quick short corner and there striker ( with 3 defenders around him ) manages to turn and bend a delightful shot into the top far corner, 2-1. Within minutes of doddington getting back into the game milne fires a shot across goal to make it 3-1.
Second half gets under way in within 2 mins of the restart doddington pull a goal back through some very dodgey defending. 3-2...game gets underway and doddington have started to show that they want some part of this game and continue to pressurise psl, n there pressure is reward early on as they equalise n make the game 3-3. Psl lads are starting to drop heads and dont look interested in the game at all, half way through the first half and doddingtons pressure takes its toll n they go 3-4 up, as time is running out n psl look lost for a response the ref gives what i feel was a very weak penalty to psl, up steps deboo to slot home n the final result is 4-4.. we were very very lucky to come away with a point when we should have taken all 3 points ( going on 1st half performance only )..we need to learn to play for 90mins and not just 45mins, i could blame the result on shortage of players but thats a lame ass excuse, we simply wernt good enough on the day & need to improve fast if we are to achieve anything this season. Thanks to the doodington lads for a great game n to be fair to them they deserved to take away 3 points.
