Ah, will ye stop.......

The mighty Gaelic Lions won a game of football on Saturday when we won a game of football with a hard fought victory over alcoholic's anonymous premier tier members Hotspurs F.C. on Saturday. It was hard fought. The game was back and forth, going backwards and forwards regularly with the Lions starting well and then being pish again for a good while before being good again. The nice thing about this was whilst we were pish, we scored a goal when Ryan scored a flick-on from a free-kick and the ball went into the goal for a goal. 1-0 to the Lions and that weird unusual feeling of scoring a goal consumed my soul. Hotspurs, by this point absolutely reeking of shots of absinthe, then equalized with what could only be described as a very good goal. JD was the main protagonist by being very persistent indeed and laying it on a plate for possibly JD himself but maybe it was another Hotspurs player (we could tell you but the website isn't updated with match stats and it's Wednesday evening, eight hours after the club's match report deadline, rules for some eh? EH?) but we will never know so whatevs......... Anyway, a good goal for Hotspurs and the Lions, like a midget at a urinal, we were gonna have to be on our toes. The Lions started the second half well and it felt like we were in control for most of the second half, being honest although at 1-1 it was always tight but we got a free-kick about 25 yards out with about 70 minutes gone and Handsome Jimmy Devane placed the ball, stroked his beard one last time and struck a magnificent strike towards the net, which took 9 deflections, got an MRT to Orchard Road and back, did 10,000 steps around Botanics and headed over to the new tuck shop beside the toilets and got four Tigers before nestling into the back of the net to give the Lions the lead. Cue 15 minutes of extreme anxiety. Hotspurs to their credit came right back into it and if it wasn't for the intervention of young Krish in nets we would surely have conceded the equalizer (good movie, the sequel not so much......) but we held on to claim the victory. Relief after grief.
