Win but...
Team Vasantham - 5 (Naresh, Ananth (pen), Blondie 2, Rashid)
Woodlands Reds - 3
Even though it was an awesome comeback after being down 2-0 then 3-1, the fact that we fought against the referee and amongst ourselves made it a game to forget! As leader of the team (If i may say so), i am disappointed with the reactions of some of our players with the decisions made by the referee. True enuf, most of them were dubious decisions and some were downright riduculous like the goal he allowed and then disallowed after being pressured by the opponent. C'mon guys, we were the better team by far and did not need those decisions in order to win!! We had 21 shots at goal and 5 goals and the opponents 3 shots and 3 goals!! the way we were playing we could have gone double digit.. but the point is our behaviour towards the referee was unforgivable and the first time in so many months we have existed as a team i had to call the field manager and referee manager to apologise.. If we had been in the lead, we would have accepted the referee's wrong decisions and played on. I realise that losing is not easy to take, but the moment we only think of winning, we stop having fun and people who play for fun would stop coming. I have been playing and watching football for a long time and have faced some strange refereeing. We see some strange refereeing in Champions league games or EPL games bv Qualified Proffessional FIFA referees.. if teams like chelsea, man U, liverpool, arsenal can take wrong decisions and play on, i don't see why we can't.. Remeber guys, we are a team with a reputation.. lets not make it a bad one!
Other than this flaw, it was a fantastic passing game, with the goal of the season by our guest player Naresh who practically beat 9 players before he scored. Ananth was a fantastic revelation in the middle of the field and created almost all the goals. Good play by blondie, kanna, kathir, selvam and jag as well. Saravanan ayavoo ran his heart out and i promised him that i would not talk about his three misses, especially the one that i created for him infront of goal with only the goalkeeper to beat.. (Which he missed by the way.. hehe)
MOTM - Ananth - superb midfield display and created all the goals single-handedly.
Woodlands Reds - 3
