Karl Won!

I suppose it had to happen eventually and last night, it almost didn't. After some on the fly team choosing (expertly done as it turns out), the Mincers took an early lead while there was dissention in the Tattie ranks. By the time the Tatties sorted themselves out, there were four goals in it and the game looked lost. Then Foxy decided to have a go and score about a hundred goals over the next ten minutes bringing the game back to level.

From there on in the Mince grabbed a goal and the Tatties pulled one back. This went on right past full time and into extra time - "Was anyone going to come on the pitch?" and "How long is there to play?" were questions poring from the distraught Karl. No one looked to be taking over the pitch so the official regulation five minutes of extra time were to be played.

It was all level at this point until a fine save from Si yielded an unlikely goal for the Mince. Si managed to catch the ball, bounce it off his chest, juggle it in mid-air for a bit, drop it towards the goal line, dive on it to stop it going in, nudged it on and bit, finally pounce on it in a last ditch attempt only to finally shove it over the line for the most spectacular slow motion OG we may ever see.

That was the end for the Tatties as no further goals came and the game was sealed with a punishing strike from Gordo that curled into the top corner from just inside half way. Now go and choose your MOTM from a lot of fine performances.

Next week Creeky makes his comeback and that means that the Hat of Dooooooooom does too! Just to remind you all who is left in the Hat - Iain, Craig, Karl, Si and Neil. If your name comes out then you'll be told on Monday. I shall endeavor to get the teams up before the game next week!
