After last weeks defeat to Manning Park expectations for Balaga to get back to winning ways were high as they went into a game that they won 9-3 at the start of the season. But it was not to be on the night as the team never really got firing on all cylinders.
With Webz thinking up some tactics to change it up before the game, Kevin Broderick moved into centre back with Duggan and O Callaghan flanking him and Webz Mascherano-ing like never before out of it infront of Broderick. Parker infront of Webz again with O' Driscoll starting upfront... front front front. Damo was back in goal after his knocking out incident a couple of weeks ago, cech u poof. ..Deano was on the substitute bench to start but was keen as could be to get on and make a difference. Browne as previosuly reported had an international game with Glasheen, but with drunken rumours on saturday in the Classic that he has quit International ball to concentrate on Balaga, everyone is happy, except glasheen i presume.
A shock deflected goal put Dulleas infront first, but it may have been somewhat undeserved with Broderick sweeping everythign up nice and tidy at the back. It wasn't too long until Balaga equalised though, Parker found the net with a calmly taken placed turn and shot that one could watch again and again if one had a decent camera man. ahem Ahl. O'Driscoll was workign like a rabid dogg, well a normal but hyper dog anyway, chasing down balls and turning defenders all over the place to create chances and soon afterwards Webz put the Tongo infront with what was probably a patented tap in but i can remember to be honest. Sorry bai. Dulleas did have some pressure but everyone seemed to be working hard to keep the lead and stop some talented Dulleas heads.
There was some position changing in the second half and it wasnt to Balaga Tongos benifit and it turned out to be a bit of a goal fest of a half. Dulleas went ahead aswell as Balaga at some stage, but it was Ma Dulleas who got the last goal to make it 6-5. A brace from Webz, both cool finishes from the keepers right and a O'Driscoll goal from a corner had put Balaga in good stead. But Defense, not THE defense nessecarily, but defensive play in general was crap and Balaga got done.
All that being said... Damo was awesome tho and it must be said was brave as as as i cant think of brave stuff...lion??? warrior??? flying monkey??? but anyway he was coming out for situations that O'Callaghan would previosuly of dalked him in. fair play. Duggan was keeping tabs on Nala (? think thats what his name was, the unreal fella anyway) and if he was marking him for the game he prob would of not as scored as many. Deano was a rock for the whole game because well Deano is Deano the rock Deano and is a rock!!! Kevin was a god damn marvel superhero of a centre back and can be looking forwad to playing there for the rest of his days. O Callaghan was crap enough and will be starting on the bench this week. Webz was daycent scoring a hattrick and being mascherano in one game is no mean feat. Parker was everywhere as usual and must be frustrated he didnt score a couple more. Phil was prettttttty handy up front and i must say made my heart flutter when he did some of his skills that came off.
Other comings and goings in the league are as follows... (read in boring 5 o clock result readers voice for extra effect...) Partik Rosies 5 - World Class FC Ramblers 3... Seven FC Albion 2 - Sevin Caledonian Thistle Sinners 1... Manning Park Rovers Utd 9 - Sporting Upsetters Athletic 4...
As you prob dont know unless you really love the Balaga these results suck for the Cucumbers and put Seven FC well out infront aswell as Manning Park. Sevin Sinners, Ma Dulleas and the Upsetters are firmly up Balagas posteriors... League table after gameweek 8...
The public can only wait and see how FC Balaga Tongo react to this loss adding to a run of 4 games without a win.
But id say it will probably be with a splendid and convincing VICTORYYYYY!
