close enough for me just not enough

Prophet-like don't you think?

Last night was a typical classic between these 2...lots of hard tackles and a good struggle for 90'. It seemed we were finally playing with some passion and spirit I felt were missing in other home matches. The newspaper reported play was a bit ugly but I thought it was one of the more entertaining matches we've had this year. I thought the pace was pretty fast with both teams going end to end most of the night.....not as much of a midfield grinder as I thought it might be. Armstrong was particularly active and his 2 strong volley shots in the 1st half were the best long range efforts I've seen this year. Too bad 1 of them couldn't have gone in. After the first 30 second hiccup, some stout defending at times by our backline when we were pushing forward for the winner and a bit exposed. And credit to Richmond who were also pushing for the winner even in the final few minutes when they could have just sat back and gone home with a point. Some of the best tackling from both sides I've seen in awhile. A few were a bit overcooked but with these 2 clubs, that's to be expected. In about the 82' while standing in E10, I told my family "hey, let's start walking out so we can head down to the far end and see us score the winner". Another prophet like statement that came true....problem was, I was still under the stands when we scored and missed it! When I'm away from the action for any reason, we almost always score, thus keeping my mystic powers alive. Maybe that's why everyone around me is always telling me to leave? Hmmmmm. Anyway, hopefully, with the monkey off our backs, the boys will be a bit more relaxed now and winning one at the very end also helps the confidence, not to mention coming back from a rough start against a quality opponent. Onward and upward!!
