I'm getting involved in a virtual steam rally soon the guidelines for which seem to be making themselves up as it goes along, posting pics of your contributions etc.. On that basis I'll grab a shot of the local pitch / goals without any nets, hope that's a start. I was going to do a shot of my socks but they won't stay still long enough.

Kick off delayed to facilitate the procurement and delivery of refreshments... Interesting encounter with the Maltesers. EEFC were 2v1 up at half time with two strikes from the Assassin {represented by the Ace of Clubs}. A second half capitulation saw Valetta score 3, a consolation {frustrated} big boot from keeper Cheees took everyone by surprise... Shook off some rust.... lessons in defeat.... Final score: EEFC 3 v 4 Valetta... Ratings: Cheees 5 Murph 8 Chuffed 4 Dees 7 Assassin 9* Pearo 8 Mom: Assassin rated 9 scored 2... Next saturday: Grasshoppers of Zurich 4pmish... UTMEEFC Ohm.....

Apologies for the cobwebs boss. Keeping up with murph and Dees at the same time took the wind out. That was one hefty boot there,surprised everyone. Excellent gelling performance and great things to come. I'd better get stuck into the Greek yogurt and avocado smoothies to make sure the system is in balance.

Disappointing result but early days after a long lay off.
We played some good stuff and know what mistakes we made. Next week will be better. The gaffer surprised everybody with his worldy !

Well that’s a game we can all learn from I think. Happy to get on the scoresheet but I could have done more defensively. Wandering around trying to retrieve my slipper didn’t help, especially when that blokes dog had it.
I shall be employing a new method of attatchment for the next game, possibly elastic. I think that could cause some confusion amongst their back line.

Excellent gelling performance and great things to come. I'd better get stuck into the Greek yogurt and avocado smoothies to make sure the system is in balance. No, no, mate - 'ang about - you're WAAAAY too gallant (stress on latter 'a' there) to take the blame - I fear 'twas I who was lacking. I don't mind telling you that trying to keep up with yourself and the Deester fair wore me out - just grateful I didn't throw up (aren't we all) on the sidelines, which often happens first time out after not playing for a while, but must confess it was a bit touch and go a few times on that one. Tell you what - I'll get Vlad to give me some extra circuit training in the impressive Château Murph staff gym this next few days to try to sharpen my footwork up a bit……. him being Head CM Ranger, if anyone's capable of getting me to move a bit quicker, he is. ( Mind you, I've never actually told him I'm fluent in Russian, so I'm going to have to have a word with him about some of his more recent 'training phrases' because when he starts changing the usual " move that cute little ass a bit faster on the rowing machine, please, your ladyship" to include sneaky little references from mucky old Smolensk folk tales about goatherds - and clearly thinks I don't know about it - we need to start getting things back on the straight & narrow, innit.) OH YES. Agree on Cheesy's corkin' shot. Ah! The sheer bliss of that sound! A boot reminiscent of something from Harry Burrows's (no - the original one) left foot. Vlad's seen it on film & says it was 'bladdy Чудесный'. We'll 'ave 'em next week. ☠

We used to do the communal bath thing after some mixed hockey games many moons ago. There were only a handful of clubs that had the facility, great fun but the distancing thing kind of took care of itself. Best one was Vauxhall motors sports club in Luton. Very big!.🏑🙂

Sorry everyone I had a 'mare today !
I couldn't find my boots for some reason today so I had to play in some borrowed wellies which were two sizes too big for me - it felt like I was stumbling about like one of those giants in one of the old "It's A Knockout" games even though I was wearing four pairs of socks. I couldn't get near their right winger today it just felt like I'd got the turning circle and speed of a rowing boat.
Mental note - Must Do Better !

Not the best result and a poor performance from me for which I can only apologise.
I thought I was making some really intelligent runs into space, at quite a pace too I might add. It was only when the gaffer pointed out that I needed to remain on the pitch whilst doing so that I realised my error.
Onwards...

Ayup Gaffer. I'm not on the Oatie very often at the moment but I'm available for selection if you're really desperate.
I've been keeping myself in fine fettle despite the lockdown restrictions. Supping Leffe in the sun on the garden swing, munhcing pork and picke pies & telling Mrs Q she needs to walk the dog to get her exercise.
Figure I've put on 3 stone & have bruises from Mrs Q's frying pan all over. Fit as a butcher's sloth, me.

Evening team mates, sorry for the absenteeism but I decided to take a leaf out of Ray Milland’s book, unfortunately I lost a fortnight and not a weekend.
I’m back now, raring to go

Friendlyish vs.. FC Trabzponsor... Bugger it. None of us saw THAT coming. Disappointing result, to put it mildly - what we need is a fast return to the glory days of EEFC-elona. Must heartily congratulate our scorers, Fel and Cheesy, though: "Well done, boys".
And how about Fel getting MOM? He's doing so well on the wing. Told you he was fast. Boss, I see you've decided to go with four of us across the back now. If you pick this up, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but I've never settled into playing on the outside - is there any chance of trying me more in the middle? I always do much better there and I think it might make a difference. Thx, chief.

If the gaffer doesn't select me, I'll be the one in the crowd with a red & white striped hazmat suit, Darth Vader helmet and steel toe-capped wellies. Best to be prepared in case someone gets injured & gaffer has to put an announcement over the tannoy to ask for substitutes.

Profuse apologies for the quietitude. Been trying times sorting out the necessary paperwork etc. Entangled in red tape the Trabzponsor fixture was postponed... However a slackening of regs. means training can resume and the young Turks are slated to arrive this saturday {4pm ish}. On a positive note it provides time to ease the stiffness and various injuries picked up during the first two friendlies: welly burns, sprains, a gas mask forehead rub, general disorientation.. etc etc... A risque formation utilising the ten available, extra risk having no one on the bench..... Bath Quietman Murph Deeside Felonious RogerJ Pearo Chuffed Assassin Cheees On the front foot, playing through the lines.... Deep breathing, long Ommmmms, and Crown Chakra revitilisation for this weeks training..... EEFC v FC Trabzonspor 4pom ish Saturday 23rd May 2020....

I'll be there Gaffer, raring to go this Saturday and I've already got my boots safely stored in my sports bag so hopefully no need for wellies this weekend !
It would help things if we could actually get 11 on the pitch to start though - these Turks can be slippery so and so's and giving them a player advantage could make it a bit like pushing water uphill with a rake.
