Charles-Quint FC

An overcast sky in Nossegem, little wind, though a clear day set the seen for FC Irlande’s match against 8th placed Charles-Quint. Coined the 6 point match, the boys in green were eager to put a W in the win column. Mid way through the first half, Ewan tees up a shot, though a resounding ping reverberates through the pitch. Hope is not lost, an attentive Lolo, jumps on the ball and slots it away for a 1-0 lead to the good. The half time whistle sounds. The Irish attack the second half with vigor. Perhaps too much vigor. Ryan targets his victim, at a full sprint, Ryan leaves his feet and two foots the oncoming winger in the chest, if Ryan’s studs to the chest were not enough, Ryan grabs his nuts and points at the attacker writhing in the pain. The official has no choice to give him his second yellow. In classic Ryan fashion, he throws up the double bird to the referee as he exits the pitch. (Perhaps an over dramatization, though a pulling of the arm of the running winger as he attempted to get by did give Ryan his second yellow and a red). Up a goal and down a man, the boys kept fighting. The ball came forward, with a some clever body work by Gab, he was able to hold off the goal keeper, played an excellent ball into the box, where Lolo was able to pick up a brace. Though the best highlight was yet to come. Late into the second half, the Irish were on the attack, Lolo found himself on the wing, plays a cross into the box, the searching ball, is found by Gab. In what could be his final curtain call at home, Gab leaps off the ground, foot over his head, makes contact with the ball. Silence falls, across the pitch as the ball searches for the back of the net. The silence is broken by the ping of the post, denying a potential Puskas bid. The final whistle blows and the FC Irlande take a resounding win. As the great Jameis Winston once said, we eatin dubs!
