Expected Toulouse 3-2 Dads Army
No one expected that.
The sharks got all the airtime this week but the real danger was on Pitch 1. We were 1–0 down inside 30 seconds. The packed clubhouse was as stunned. Every game against us is treated like a World Cup final and last night was no different.
The Butcher
@jayoharae was solid again. Save after save, calm distribution. Got himself some professional headshots so when you pick up your Xmas ham you’ll get a signed copy too (Yes, really)
The Bouncer
@moradabuild was bullish and brave, had their players running scared. The sound of those footsteps behind you is enough to ruin anyone’s touch. Hands stayed to himself for once which was… new.
Nicky the Bull
@nickgroeneveld played his last game of the season. Went back-to-back and still put in a shift. Copped a nasty ankle pin from their CM which wounded the bull, but he battled on. See you in 2026.
@freemo_75 Twinkle Toes had more dribbles than an old folks home. Scored again but then missed a crucial pen to level it… and then missed the retake too. Double shite. But you can’t have rainbows without rain and he'll bounce back.
@jumpinjimflash Newrybar Pirlo returned too soon. The desire was there, the body wasn't. His calf popped loud enough to be heard in Coffs and he went down like a dead budgie. Season over. Mizunos back in their box until 2026. Tragic end to a promising season.
@nwatto The Consultant grafted all night. Non-stop hustle. His engine overheats quickly so he’s already designing an eco wind farm on BB2. Suspected calf strain which might end his season too. Will be hard to replace.
The Don
@simmooooo rolled in with two minutes to spare. No warm-up, no worries. Another smooth finish off a well-placed assist from the chef. Reliable as ever.
The Chef
@bowerpower78 looked sharp in the warm up and stayed sharp on the pitch. Won the penalty, grabbed an assist, then closed the kitchen early to save energy for his early PT session.
Bam Bam Bown
@wombat_cliffy returned after a couple of weeks away, no rust just rage. Threw himself into everything and did his best to get sent off after the final whistle. Deserved a goal. We go again
