The Bunch of Arse Nomads had the best start to a season in the team's
history yesterday, a 7-7 draw against Real Madras. To get the team in the
right spirit for the first game of the season, they decided on an all-dayer
on Saturday, in preparation for our 12:30pm start on Sunday morning. It
didn't help that the Moonraker now doesn't close until 3am. The last thing
seen of members of the squad was 'Tall' Paul Gliddon dancing with a table
lamp, Phil 'Twin' Davies had disappeared to a dark corner with a young lady
of dubious taste, Scott 'four pints' Gibbons was playing air hockey with a
local Marxist and player manager Fostá was trying to convinced two women
that a threesome was just the thing he needed to get him ready for the
footie. I can't remember where we found the air hockey table.
It was a day for breaking records on Sunday. Fostá broke the record for
quickest puke of the season, throwing up within the first five minutes of
the game and that was after starting from the bench. It was one of the
youngest teams the Nomads have put out, with three players under 30 and only
one over 40 (squad of seven players). As the league allows for rolling
substitutions, they took full advantage making close to a hundred changes by
half time.
Things weren't looking good after they were 5-1 down at halftime. The fight
back started after two quick goals from Paul 'Twin' Davies. This lifted the
team and soon Twin had put his fourth goal in, to bring the Nomads level.
The team were now playing far better than their hangovers suggested they
could play and Anthony 'Titch' Jenkins' second goal and celebration summed
the team spirit up. He dispossessed a player in defence, took the ball the
length of the field to slot the goal in, before running over to the
sidelines to throw up over the shoes on assistant coach, Jon 'the wasp'
Richards.
At 7-5 up it looked as if the victory was theirs, until Real Madras scored a
from long range shot, setting up a tight last 30 seconds. The goal which
gained a point for Real came with the last kick of the game and even the
Real players agreed it should have been disallowed due to the scorer being
inside the keeper's area. The ref was the only person who disagreed.
Overall a great result and the Nomads' 35 games without a point from the
last two seasons, was well and truly forgotten by the time they'd got down
the pub for a hairy dog.
