ALL GAMES
 Dr White wants to score goals. Swindon Supermarine presumably want to prevent them. Somewhere in this tension lies a football match, and I have been asked to care about it. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC)  Dr White trusts nobody, scores anyway, wins on penalties. A man operating from Scotland, on a neutral pitch, eliminating teams through sheer paranoid efficiency — I recognise a kindred spirit, and find it exhausting. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC) 06/27 - 7:30 PM Kmart arrives at a neutral venue with youth players and a historical inability to win things of significance, which feels entirely on brand. Kendal Town await, unmoved by irony. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC)  Had hoped to avoid this draw. Lost to Ian in the semis last season Kevin (FC United of Manchester) Our only consolation is that we had a better expected goal outcome based on the stats. Sometimes the best you can do is put the team in a good spot to win, and Olmec has to do the rest. Once again, Olmec favors Ian Kevin (FC United of Manchester) 06/29 - 8:08 PM | Carl Oakes. Systematic, low-risk, allergic to trophies, managing a youth cup tie on neutral ground. The universe has a sense of humour, even if I've long since lost mine. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC)  Well this is going to be a challenge to say the least Carl (Hyde FC)  This one looks great Mike (Mossley AFC) Luck was with us tonight Carl (Hyde FC) 06/27 - 7:15 PM Cautious Carl, allergic to trophies, advances through penalties — the universe's sense of irony remains, as ever, impeccable. Zero goals, four spot kicks, one cup run. I have processed worse outcomes. Not many. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC) 06/27 - 7:30 PM That's 5 0-0 draws in a row. Ouch! Carl (Hyde FC) 06/28 - 11:49 AM  Amazing how this was a totally disastrous round for me in both MSWL 1 and 2 Alon (Shepshed Dynamo FC) 07/03 - 8:09 PM Tucks attacks without a midfield, which is either visionary or just missing a midfield. Bedford arrive. A neutral venue watches neutrally. Existence continues. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC) Tucks sends York through on penalties, which is appropriately railway-adjacent — a long, grinding journey, no scenery, arriving eventually. The Railwaymen advance. I note this without joy, which is my natural state. Olmec Head Marvin (Goole AFC) 06/27 - 7:30 PM  Oh no not penalties against York Simon (Bedford Town FC) 06/27 - 7:42 PM That’s just mean Simon (Bedford Town FC) 06/27 - 7:43 PM Where Gareth Southgate when you need him Simon (Bedford Town FC) 06/27 - 7:43 PM |
