Hey Guys,

So I've booked The Hanger for a practice on Sunday at 10am. That seems the best time to accommodate the most people. Hopefully everyone can make it, please let me know if you can't (Perry, I know you're not sure. Brad, I know you can't).

We are back to 10 am as we take on the team that is in third place. We should have a more full line up as I think Roberto is back from his Caribbean Cruise and Amsterdam Stag! Hopefully Jonny, Robert and Javier will be back this week too!!!

Come on the Bickford United! Let's give ourselves a good reason to get drunk on a sunday afternoon!

Bickford Review

While we were short of the victory that we needed today, we played a good solid game and we all played decently throughout the game. Our leading goal scorer "Da Costa" had another great goal today and Jesse James Miller scored a powerful penalty shot. The other team played very well too and scored very good goals passing the ball several times before taking the shot. Whilst they played well they also received two red cards, one was blatant unsportsmanlike conduct as he lightly pushed our beloved goalkeeper "Lin." I think the other red was made up from two yellows. These were cast iron calls from the referee and the refs report will go to the league committee where they will decide whether the two players are suspended for one or two games and fined either $25 or $50 for their misconducts. While the ref seemed a bit whistle-happy, he made it known that he had his eyes on the play all the time and a nice touch of humor. What I found the funniest was how the ref warned Da Costa before the game had even started! He has already established a reputation with refs in the league. While Neil does not make the refs job any easier, they all seem to really enjoy giving him plenty of warnings. This ensures the cat and mouse relationship between the ref and Da Costa can never go unnoticed and definitely adds some spark and some fizz to the game.

Slowly but surly we are getting better as a team and getting more and more chances to score. I know I received at least two great balls from team mates that gave me excellent scoring opportunities. While we lost the match, it didn't seem all that bad as I know I enjoyed the game and it seemed like everyone else did too (if you did not enjoy it, let your voice be heard by leaving a comment below). Icing and resting my sore thigh has allowed me to babble on quite a bit here and produce some valuable written content for our blog.

Bickford Review

We survived a close match on Sunday that saw a few injured players. Fortunately no one our team suffered more than cut or bruise, but the other team were down at least one man due to injury. If we are not more careful, Bickford United may gain an unsavory reputation in the league that instigates aggression from the other team. While we are all playing to win, it is important to remember the real reason we are there - to have fun! We had at least one yellow, a penalty, a few fouls and I don't know how many warnings. If the Russian ref didn't have such a soft spot for Da Costa it could have been a much different result. We got the tie in the end and everyone played a good game.

I also wanted to mention the historical news from the English Premiership on sunday when Tottenham Hostspur defeated Wigan 9 - 1. Not only is the second biggest win in Premiership history, but Wigan fans were also issued a full refund being so blatantly embarrassed. Go on Spurs!
